GAC Aion UT electric hatchback enters market with European design

The GAC Aion UT, an electric compact hatchback, is being introduced to the market with a focus on European design and manufacturing. Although GAC is a Chinese brand, the Aion UT was designed in Milan by GAC Advanced Design Milano and is assembled at the Magna plant in Austria. This manufacturing strategy aims to position the vehicle as a European product, potentially exempting it from certain European tariffs on Chinese-made automobiles.

The vehicle is available in two primary configurations: the Premium and the Elite. Both versions utilize the same 204 hp motor, but they differ in battery capacity and range. The Premium version features a 44.12 kWh battery with an Inmetro-rated range of 253 km, while the Elite version offers a larger 60 kWh battery, providing a range of 310 km.
