GAC Aion UT and global market expansion
Overview
The GAC Aion UT electric hatchback continues to expand its market presence through strategic regional applications and manufacturing. In the Philippines, the vehicle is utilized by entrepreneurs to manage rising fuel costs via its Vehicle-to-Load capability.
GAC is also strengthening its European presence through its electric brand, AION, by utilizing a localized production strategy. The Aion UT, designed in Milan by GAC Advanced Design Milano, is assembled at the Magna Steyr plant in Austria, with a spare parts hub in Rotterdam. This approach aims to position the vehicle as a European product to potentially avoid certain tariffs on Chinese-made automobiles. The UT is available in two configurations: a Premium version with a 44.12 kWh battery and an Elite version featuring a 60 kWh battery. Both versions utilize a 204 hp motor.
In Europe, GAC has introduced the AION UT compact and the AION V family SUV. The V model is a mid-sized SUV emphasizing passenger comfort with features such as massage seats and a refrigerated storage compartment. Both models feature LFP battery technology and carry an eight-year or 160,000 km warranty.
Expansion continues in Southeast Asia, where GAC Indonesia has launched the AION i60 electric SUV in Jakarta. This right-hand drive model is locally assembled at the PT National Assemblers facility in Cikampek. The i60 features a 75 kWh battery with a 602 km NEDC range, high-strength steel cage construction, and Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance System features.
