What Happened
The AITO 9 Ultimate Factory Acceptance & Delivery Ceremony was held on September 12 at the SERES Super Factory in Longxing, Chongqing. The first group of customers visited the production line and took part in the final inspection and acceptance of their own vehicles. SERES Group Chairman and Founder Zhang Xinghai personally delivered the new vehicles to those customers, a moment the company described as a milestone.
“The AITO 9 Ultimate is a flagship benchmark built around the 'Five Highs' standards, combining technology and luxury in a more advanced, complete and mature flagship experience.”
- Native, integrated vehicle development
- Benchmarking leading technology companies to strengthen its intelligent technology capabilities
- A foundation in precision manufacturing, reliable quality and premium services
- Differentiated system-level capabilities that turn advanced technology into a tangible flagship luxury experience
AITO said it will continue to deepen technological innovation, stay grounded in real customer needs, and set a new benchmark for Chinese luxury automotive brands through outstanding quality. The AITO 9 Ultimate handover is the latest step in that effort, following the brand's emphasis on native development, manufacturing precision and service.
Previously from SERES Group
AITO has recently marked other public milestones around its lineup and its chairman. In early September 2026, SERES Group and Huawei said cumulative customer dispatches for the AITO M6 electrified crossover had passed 50,000 vehicles since its April introduction. In late August, AITO completed a 7,000-km, seven-day endurance run across China from the country's westernmost point to Shanghai, led by SERES Chairman Zhang Xinghai.

Why this matters
The handover matters because AITO is presenting the AITO 9 Ultimate as a flagship luxury model and tying that pitch to manufacturing quality and service as much as to technology. The buyers taking delivery in Chongqing are the customers AITO is courting in the premium segment, and the brand says it wants to set a benchmark for Chinese luxury automotive brands.
