Chinese manufacturers continue to add more or less useful features to their high-end models. Huawei’s latest innovation transforms headlights into cinema projectors. Ready for an outdoor movie night?
Since its release in 2023, the Aito M9 has been a hit in the Chinese market. It serves as a technological showcase for Huawei’s entry into the automotive industry. In addition to multiple screens and driving aids, this high-end family SUV, available in electric or range-extender versions, impresses with its lighting.
Integrated LED matrix in the headlights allows it to display various information on the road, such as driving aids or navigation. This function is later enriched with interactive games on the ground or projection of mini black-and-white films on a wall.
For the 2026 model of the M9, Huawei significantly enhances this headlight projection function: improved resolution and, more importantly, the addition of color. This transforms the SUV into a personal drive-in theater. To enhance the ambiance, the V2L can power the light-up garland and the cooler. This setup fits into the outdoor lifestyle promoted by most SUVs in China, but which is apparently seldom exploited.
Is this feature to be classified as “completely useless so absolutely essential”?
