Huawei and Seres unveil latest SUV

Huawei Technologies Co unveiled its latest electric car AITO M7 co-developed with Chinese carmaker Seres on Monday, as the Chinese tech heavyweight extends its reach into the auto industry.

The AITO M7 is a six-seat luxury large electric SUV, jointly designed by Seres and Huawei.

Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei's device business group and its intelligent vehicle solutions business unit, said AITO has become the fastest-growing smart electric vehicle brand. The cumulative sales of the AITO M5, which was unveiled in December, exceeded 10,000 units on the 87th day of its launch, and so far 11,296 units have been delivered.

Yu said AITO's charging network now covers more than 300 cities, and by the end of the year consumers will be able to test drive AITO cars in more than 1,000 Huawei retail stores.

Huawei also unveiled its latest smartphone series the Nova 10, which features an advanced mobile imaging system. It is part of broader push by Huawei to target mobile photography enthusiasts.

Priced from 2,699 yuan ($403) in China, the new smartphones are equipped with Huawei's self-developed HarmonyOS system.
