Vehicle model
Aito Gamme Aito - électrique/hybride
The heart of AITO's offering rests on two electrification approaches: fully electric (BEV) versions and extended-range (EREV) versions, often considered a form of series hybrid. In the EREVs, a small 1.5 L combustion engine acts solely as a generator to recharge the battery, without driving the wheels, which provides a large total range exceeding 1,000 km depending on the configuration and reduces charging anxiety. This dual strategy has supported the brand's strong growth. For the buyer, these powertrains mean heavy vehicles: in Quebec, choosing certified winter tires that respect the load indices and the original diameter (often 20 or 21 inches) is crucial for safety and efficiency. The brand is not officially distributed in North America.

Technology
Technologies, engines and platforms
BEV and EREV drivetrains: a 1.5 L combustion engine acting as a generator paired with one or two electric motors for high combined power and extended total range. LFP or NMC batteries depending on the version, with software management and charging optimized by Huawei.

La gamme AITO est composée de VUS, des modèles compacts aux grands formats, ce qui implique des roues de grand diamètre. Selon les versions, on retrouve fréquemment des jantes de 20 et 21 pouces, avec des pneus de profil bas adaptés au format et au poids de ces véhicules électrifiés. Les VUS électriques et EREV étant lourds, il importe de respecter les indices de charge et de vitesse d'origine et de surveiller la pression. Au Québec, des pneus d'hiver homologués sont obligatoires; pour ces grands VUS, une monte hivernale de diamètre adapté, parfois un peu plus étroite, améliore traction et confort. Validez toujours dimension, entraxe et déport exacts d'après le véhicule.
