Space and Interior

Despite its compact footprint, the AION UT has a 2,750mm wheelbase. That gives 905mm of rear legroom and 1,385mm of shoulder room. Boot space is 321 litres, expanding to 689 litres with the rear seats folded.

The front cabin has an open-access walkway, which helps when parking next to walls or poles in tight underground carparks. Front seats fully recline and are wrapped in a butterfly design.

Tech and Screens

The AION UT has an 8.8-inch frameless driver display with anti-glare coating and a 14.6-inch central infotainment screen. Both wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are supported. A full voice control system is also included.

The GAC App gives owners remote access to 40 functions across four modules, including state of charge, range, climate control, and vehicle location.

Safety

Level 2 ADAS is standard on both grades. The AION UT is the first in its segment to offer Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) when reversing, in addition to forward AEB. The system also detects pedestrians and motorcyclists.

Seven airbags are fitted, including a 2.1-metre side curtain airbag. The chassis uses 39% high-strength and 28% hot-formed steel, with a roof structure rated to withstand 7 tonnes of pressure.

Battery and Charging

Both grades use a 60kWh LFP Magazine Battery 2.0 with Cell-To-Pack technology. The battery has fireproof insulation and internal cooling fluid that prevents fire or explosion even when punctured or heated to 180 degrees Celsius.

Warranty and Support

The AION UT comes with an 8-year unlimited km vehicle warranty and an 8-year / 200,000km battery warranty. Five years of roadside assistance is also included.

Test drives can be booked at any of GAC Australia's 19 dealers nationwide, expanding to 30 in the coming weeks.
