When discussing the comparison between AITO M9 and LI9, we seem to be in a peak showdown of luxury SUVs. These two flagship models of Chinese brands represent the top level of domestic new energy vehicles. Both have their own strengths in exterior design, built-in accessories, power system, and other aspects. Let’s take a closer look today and compare who is the king of luxury SUVs.
AITO M9 and LI9 :Differences in appearance
From the appearance, both showcase the high-end and grandeur of modern SUVs, but each has its own details. The Li L9 clearly showcases its positioning design as a “family six seater flagship SUV”. The family style through type headlights appear more concise and stable overall, which is very in line with the image of a “dad car”. The exterior of the AITO M9 features a large number of metal chrome plated decorative strips to form a dual body design, showcasing the domineering image of the “Kunpeng” in Eastern mythology. It is worth mentioning that the M9’s intelligent interactive matrix headlights have multiple personalized lighting effects. Visually, it has a stronger sense of hierarchy and sophistication.
In terms of side design, The Li L9 is outlined with gentle lines, combined with hidden door handles, with the waistline running through it and 21 inch wheels below. The side design of the AITO M9 model is even more elegant, with a two tone splicing design on the body, high-definition cameras embedded in the side rear of the fenders, and 21 inch dense spoke wheel rims.
Keep pace in terms of space
Both are full-size large SUVs, with no distinction in size and space. From the data, L9 is slightly longer than L9, at 5230mm and 5218mm respectively. So the performance of the two in terms of storage is also quite similar, with various storage compartments available in both the front and rear rows.
When it comes to space, we need to mention AITO M9. It was initially a six seater SUV, but a five seater version was launched last year. The reduced seats have released more space for the trunk. So when choosing a car model, you can choose based on your daily usage. The five seater version is more convenient for daily transportation, while the six seater version is more comfortable for frequent family outings.
AITO M9 and LI9 :Take a look at the interior performance between the two
Next, let’s take a look at the differences in cabin layout. Both cars adopt the simple style that new energy vehicles like today, and there are no physical buttons on the center console. The natural wood trim and diamond cut design of AITO M9 exude a majestic and noble aura. Li L9 aims to create a warm and comfortable atmosphere. The difference is that M9 adopts a triple screen design, but the wide spacing of the black borders between the screens may affect the visual experience. And the ideal is two floating large screens. The steering wheels of both cars are wrapped in leather and have a good tactile feel. M9 adopts a touch button+scroll wheel operation mode, while L9 adopts a lever+scroll wheel operation mode.
The seats of Li will be slightly softer than those of Wenjie, making it more comfortable to ride. And it can adjust the soft and hard modes, suitable for traveling with the elderly and children as a family. And AITO’s co pilot also has footrests, which better cater to multi vehicle scenarios. As a result, the armrest box in the front row has been removed.
AITO M9 and LI9 :Comparison of driving experience
The AITO M9 has a chassis that balances comfort and sportiness, but the softness and hardness cannot be manually adjusted. L9 is a pure comfort oriented vehicle with weak driving control but six adjustable gears. Regardless of which mode Li is in, the road information obtained by the driver is more blurry than AITO. The body information transmitted by the steering wheel is also more isolated than AITO. When filtering vibrations on the ground, it is more decisive and appears to have a stronger texture. When encountering bumpy road sections, compared to AITO, Li will control the noise of various frequency bands within a relatively comfortable range.
Intelligent driving
In terms of intelligent driving, both M9 and L9 are equipped with advanced intelligent driving assistance systems. The AITO M9 is equipped with HUAWEI ADS 2.0 driving assistance system, which includes 27 intelligent driving hardware including 3mm wave radar and 1 laser radar. Its intelligent driving function is comprehensive and practical, supporting track reversing, and can achieve high-speed and city NOA functions nationwide without relying on high-precision maps.
The Li L9 is equipped with the Li AD MAX intelligent driving system, featuring 25 intelligent driving hardware including 2 Nvidia chips and 1 millimeter wave radar+1 laser radar. Its intelligent driving function also performs well, but the city NOA function can only be used within the cities covered by it. In this regard, M9 still has a slight advantage.
Comparison of Power Tests
Both of these cars are range extender vehicles. Both AITO M9 and Li L9 have demonstrated strong power performance. The M9 is equipped with a 1.5T range extender and 365kW dual motors, with a maximum torque of 675N · m and a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 4.9 seconds. The L9 is equipped with a 1.5T range extender and 330kW dual motors, which can deliver a maximum torque output of 620N · m and a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 5.3 seconds. Both cars perform well in terms of power performance, but the M9 has a slight advantage in acceleration and power output.
According to WLTC data, the pure electric range of M9 is 190km (some versions can reach higher), and the comprehensive range exceeds 1000km. The pure electric range of L9 reaches 235km, and the comprehensive range is 1176km. By comparison, it can be seen that the Li L9 is like a steady elephant, capable of carrying a family even further; And the AITO M9 flies faster like a soaring eagle.
