AITO M9 Live Test Controversy: Official Clarification from Harmony Intelligent Mobility

[New Vehicle Test] Harmony Intelligent Mobility has responded to four major questions raised regarding the AITO M9's all-electric range live test.

Core Highlights: Full Real-Time Broadcast Without Editing, Production Vehicle Tested Fully Loaded

The AITO M9 live test involved a round trip between Chengdu and Chongqing without recharging, featuring a fully real-time broadcast. Data including distance traveled, remaining battery level, and outside temperature were updated every 30 minutes. The host repeatedly displayed real-time energy consumption and driving duration, engaging in live interaction—no pre-recording or editing was involved.

Key Test Conditions: Four Adults + 50kg Equipment Onboard, Outside Temperature 41°C with Cabin Maintained at 24°C

The test vehicle was a standard production model available for sale, not a specially tuned version. It carried four adult passengers and 50kg of equipment. The outdoor temperature reached as high as 41°C, while the cabin air conditioning was kept constant at 24°C.

Strategic Transparency: Addressing Concerns Through Open Third-Party Verification

In response to质疑 regarding window tinting, video clarity, an average speed of 85 km/h, and whether the vehicle was specially modified, the company emphasized data transparency and welcomed evaluation by independent third-party authorities as well as in-person test drives by users to verify the vehicle’s real-world range performance.
