Battery specifications

[edit]

The Aion S has a 58.8 kWh (212 MJ) battery (in comparison, the Tesla Model 3 Long Range has a 75 kWh (270 MJ) battery). This allows for 510 kilometres (317 mi) of range according to the NEDC methodology used in China. The car uses a 170Wh/kg CATL lithium-ion battery, and the power output is 180 hp (134 kW; 182 PS).[3]

Voice integration in the car allows you to control the air conditioning, navigational system, and electronic windows. Alongside the other features is a 12.3 inch infotainment screen.[4]

To power the interior, the car has clear solar panels on the sunroof.

Exterior design

[edit]

Being the first car by Aion, the Aion S is also the first car to adopt Aion's design language that differentiates the S, LX, and V from Trumpchi vehicles.

The front-end on the exterior of the car features LED headlights, and a silver bar starting under a headlight and stretching to the other. In the middle of the bar is GAC New Energy's 'G' emblem on the blue background, similar to that of Toyota's, and their Lexus marque, logo highlighted in blue.

The rear-end features a taillight bar that goes over the 'G' logo on the trunk connecting the two taillights that are not on the trunk. The rear also uses retroreflectors on the rear bumper as an alternative to a taillight.

Sales

[edit]

The Aion S has a starting price of 160,000 Chinese yuan or 23,758 US dollars or 18,034 British pounds.
