With its success in various international markets, the GAC AION Y Plus is expected to create a wave of new global electric vehicle quality in Vietnam.
GAC AION’s quality is globally recognized and acclaimed.
AION was established in 2017 under the GAC Energy Technology Group to develop smart mobility solutions. GAC AION was once the most valuable electric vehicle startup in China, successfully raising $2.5 billion in Series A funding in 2022. With its main factory in China, GAC AION’s models such as the AION S and AION Y have consistently ranked in the top 5 best-selling electric vehicles in the mainland market in recent years.
AION sold over 480,000 electric vehicles globally in 2023
In 2023, GAC AION emerged as the world’s third-largest electric vehicle manufacturer by sales, with a total of more than 480,000 vehicles sold. This achievement granted them a 5.2% share of the global electric vehicle market and a ranking of 165th among the top 500 companies with the highest revenue worldwide (Global Fortune 500).
The AION Hyper SSR electric supercar made its debut at Milan Fashion Week in Italy.
AION’s reach extends beyond China, as they continuously expand into international markets and receive positive responses from discerning countries with limited electric vehicle infrastructure. In just the first six months of this year, GAC AION has ventured into Cambodia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Egypt, Tajikistan, and Nepal. The AION Hyper SSR electric supercar was also recently introduced to the European market through its launch in Italy.
The AION Y Plus was launched in Singapore in April 2024.
GAC AION Y Plus – A Dynamic and Quality-Driven Breakthrough for the Brand
Currently, the AION Y and its upgraded version, the Y Plus, are GAC AION’s best-selling models. The AION Y Plus boasts dimensions of 4,535 x 1,870 x 1,650 mm, with a long wheelbase of 2,750 mm, providing an impressive 1,020mm of legroom for rear passengers. Its design exudes youthfulness and dynamism, featuring eye-catching front DRL headlights shaped like angel wings. The interior impresses with a panoramic sunroof and a spacious cargo area that can be expanded to 1,200 liters by folding down the seats.
The youthful and dynamic design of the AION Y Plus
The AION Y Plus in Vietnam is expected to be equipped with a 63.2kWh LFP battery pack, featuring GAC AION’s exclusive magazine battery technology. This setup delivers an impressive 204 horsepower and 225 Nm of torque. The Y Plus offers a standard range of 490km and boasts the highest global standards in fire and explosion prevention, even against the impact of projectiles. With 800,000 vehicles sold, there have been no reported cases of spontaneous combustion. The vehicle can be charged using a standard 6.6kW AC charger at home or a fast DC charger with a maximum output of 80kW.
GAC AION was voted the number one electric vehicle brand in China by customers.
The quality of GAC AION, especially the Y Plus, is assured by its recognition as the Best Electric Vehicle Brand by China’s AQISQ (Administration for Quality Inspection, Supervision, and Quarantine) and its acknowledgment by the J.D. Power research institute. This commitment to quality is further demonstrated by AION’s global warranty policy, offering up to 8 years or 200,000 km of coverage for the battery, electric motor, and control system.
The AION Y Plus is designed for exciting leisure trips.
Additionally, the AION Y Plus is equipped with advanced safety features such as Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keeping Assist, Forward Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Adaptive Cruise Control, and a 540-degree Intelligent & Panoramic HD Surround View Camera System. For entertainment, the AION Y Plus features a 6-speaker ‘Bongiovi’ DSP audio system, and the front seats can be folded flat to create a spacious 1.8m-long area.
