GAC, a Chinese manufacturer, has launched its Aion UT and V models in Europe under its Aion brand, which focuses exclusively on fully electric vehicles. The Aion UT is a 4.27-meter sedan, larger than a Renault Megane E-Tech, and is available in two trim levels: the Premium for 26,990 euros and the Luxury for 28,490 euros. Metallic paint is an optional upgrade. Leasing is available at 299 euros per month for 48 months, covering 40,000 km, with an initial payment of 2,500 euros. The vehicle is powered by a 60 kWh LFP battery, offering a range of 430 km and weighing 425 kg. It is produced in Austria by Magna, but it does not qualify for an eco-score, which is a rating used in some European countries to encourage eco-friendly vehicles. The Aion UT has a 204 hp engine that produces 210 Nm of torque, allowing it to reach a top speed of 160 km/h and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.3 seconds. However, the performance is somewhat limited by the quality of its tires. The vehicle's energy consumption is rated at 16.4 kWh per 100 km, and its weight ranges from 1,745 to 1,775 kg depending on the trim. It supports fast DC charging at 87 kW, with a 10 to 80% charge taking up to 32 minutes. At this time, there is no option for a smaller battery. The Aion UT is praised for its spacious interior, with a long wheelbase of 2,750 mm providing ample legroom for rear passengers and a large trunk capacity of 440 liters. The vehicle comes with a high standard of equipment, including driving aids, heated seats and steering wheels, LED headlights, an electric tailgate, a heat pump, and V2L (vehicle-to-load) charging. The only optional feature is the metallic paint. The vehicle centralizes all controls, including mirror adjustments, on a 14.6-inch central screen—a feature that other manufacturers have largely abandoned due to customer feedback. The Aion UT has a mixed performance, with some notable strengths but also several shortcomings. While its price is competitive, its performance and features may not meet the expectations of all buyers. GAC, which has only recently begun operations in France, will need to address concerns about customer satisfaction and after-sales service as it continues to establish itself in the European market.
