The AITO M5 is a compact crossover SUV produced by Seres under the AITO brand in collaboration with Huawei from 2022. The model is the first product of the AITO brand, slotting under the AITO M7. The M5 is available in two powertrain options, which are range extender electric (EREV) and battery electric (EV).

Since 2023, the M5 is included in the Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance (HIMA), a multi-brand collaboration model with Huawei.

The AITO M5 was initially unveiled only as a range extended electric vehicle (EREV) in December 2021 based on the same platform as the Seres SF5. A battery-electric variant (BEV) was unveiled in September 2022. The AITO M5 has a 10.4-inch dashboard display and a 15.6-inch screen on the center console, and is one of the first vehicles to ever utilize the Huawei HarmonyOS 3 infotainment system. The EREV version has two 40 W wireless chargers with dual fan cooling, three 66 W wired, one 60 W wired and two 27 W Huawei MagLink magnetic charger. All chargers can be used simultaneously.

In March 2023, the AITO M5 was shortly rebranded as Huawei AITO M5 before Yu Chengdong, a Huawei executive issued that all promotional materials related to Huawei will be removed on April 1 from AITO stores.
