The MB RUS and Avtodom companies are going to present a couple of models of the Chinese brand at the CarX exhibition, which will be held in Moscow on 10 -October 11.
The “Celestial” brand AITO is the result of a partnership between Huawei and Seres (remember, Seres, that is, the former SF Motors, is a subsidiary of the Chinese corporation Sokon created in 2016). The first-born of the new brand was the AITO M5 crossover, which is a restyled version of the Seres SF5: as Kolesa.ru reported earlier, the car received an appearance that is partly reminiscent of the design of the Porsche Macan.
AITO brand cars have now been brought to the Russian market: MB RUS and Avtodom companies spoke about this. Let us recall that JSC MB RUS was previously called JSC Mercedes-Benz Rus: the rebranding became known in late spring 2023. In turn, the Avtodom group of companies is the current owner of the Russian assets of Mercedes-Benz (the German brand left the Russian car market).

The “celestial” brand AITO will be officially presented to the Russian market as part of the exhibition “CarX: a revolution in the auto business”, which will be held in Moscow on October 10-11. The name of the premium brand is an abbreviation and stands for “Adding Intelligence To Auto,” which the importer translated as “adding intelligence to a car.” It is reported that Huawei is responsible for “intelligence”, and Seres is responsible for the production of cars.
