GAC Aion has announced that Indonesia is the biggest car market in Southeast Asia. To start its business there, GAC Aion decided to work with a local dealer group called Indomobil. Together, they will create a local system for research, making cars, and selling them. On June 22, GAC Aion had a special event in Jakarta, Indonesia, to introduce their plan for Indonesia. At this event, they launched the Aion Y Plus car in the Indonesian market. This car comes in two versions: Exclusive and Premium, and the prices range from $25,200 to $28,900.
In China, there are 13 different versions of the Aion Y Plus. The car is built on the AEP 2.0 platform and its size is 4535 mm long, 1870 mm wide, and 1650 mm high, with a wheelbase of 2750 mm. The front of the car is very striking, with headlights that look like eyelashes. At the back, there is a spoiler on the top and a brake light mounted high. The car also has popular taillights and a silver chrome trim at the bottom.
Inside, the car features GAC’s ADiGO Space smart cockpit. It includes a 10.25-inch full LCD instrument panel, a 14.6-inch central control screen, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with three spokes. The audio system has six speakers and you can even do karaoke in the car.
The car is powered by an electric motor in the front, which can produce either 134 hp or 201 hp. It can reach a top speed of 130 km/h. There are two types of battery packs available: lithium iron phosphate and ternary lithium, with capacities from 37.9 kWh to 69.98 kWh. These batteries offer four driving ranges: 310 km, 430 km, 510 km, and 610 km, based on the CLTC standard.
As part of its plan to expand globally, GAC Aion has already entered markets in other ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) countries like Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, and Cambodia. In the future, GAC Aion aims to build seven production and sales centers across the Asia Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East. They plan to operate in 19 countries and regions around the world.
