GAC presents Aion UT compact electric vehicle
GAC Aion just announced its first electric vehicle for Europe. At the Guangzhou Auto Show in China, GAC presented its third model – the AION UT. As the Chinese carmaker refers to it as a “global model,” it is safe to assume that it will launch internationally. It will certainly hit the road in China, but under a different name. According to local media, it will be marketed under the name ‘Yingwulong’ and be positioned in the price range of 100,00 yuan (around 13,000 euros).
The AION UT comes with a lithium iron phosphate battery produced by GAC-owned Yinpai Battery Technology. The company has not given any details about the battery’s energy capacity or the car’s driving range. What is known is that the battery powers a 100 kW electric motor, facilitating a top speed of 150 kph. GAC presents the vehicle as compact, measuring 4.2 metres in length, 1.8 metres in width, and 1.5 metres in height.
The rounded design and the colour-contrasting roof, which is raised from the A-pillar upwards, are visually striking. The C-pillar is also in the same colour as the roof, creating a clear demarcation along the window line when viewed from the side. The front section of the Aion UT is closed. A variety of wheel designs and colour options are available to further ensure individuality.
Thanks to a 0.37-metre central touchscreen and a 0.22-metre digital instrument cluster, GAC equips the new model with a high-tech ambience, making information viewing easy. The vehicle provides seamless accessibility to multiple smartphone integration options, including HiCar, CarLink, and CarPlay, giving access to music, navigation, and other convenient services. Moreover, GAC designers integrated high-tech AI features for drivers to control navigation, seat adjustments, climate control, and defrosting features through simple voice commands.
