GAC Aion Singapore launches new Premium variant of Aion V

GAC Aion Singapore has launched a new entry-level 'Premium' variant of the Aion V, offering a more accessible entry point to its popular electric SUV lineup.

Equipped with a smaller 64.5kWh battery that's still capable of achieving a WLTP driving range of 435km, the Aion V Premium supports DC fast charging of up to 150kW and charges from 30-80% in just 16 minutes. For comparison, the Aion V Luxury is powered by a 75.3kWh battery with a WLTP-range of 485km, and which can support DC charging at up to 180kW.

The Aion V Premium retains the brand's signature Floating Dual-Screen Cockpit

Nonetheless, the Aion V Premium is still built on the same robust AEP 3.0 EV platform and incorporates the brand's Magazine 2.0 Battery Technology. The model also benefits from the same high-strength body structure and safety systems as its Luxury variant.

In terms of output, the Aion V Premium offers the same 100kW and 240Nm of torque. It has a top speed of 160km/h and a century sprint timing of 9.8 seconds.

Despite its more focused specification, which sees the omission of the Luxury variant's fridge, massage front seats, and tray tables at the rear, the Aion V Premium continues to offer many features that define the model line.

These include L2 driving capabilities, AI-powered voice control, a panoramic glass roof, double-glazed acoustic insulation, and large, illuminated vanity mirrors. In addition, the spacious cabin retains Aion's signature Floating Dual-Screen Cockpit.

The Aion V Premium offers a generous 427-litre luggage compartment

The Aion V Premium also retains the distinctive Cyber T-Rex design language, complemented by the same 19-inch alloy wheels and bold sculptural elements. The SUV features Convertible Front Seats (Instant Bed Mode) and a generous 427-litre luggage compartment, ensuring both flexibility and everyday usability for drivers and families alike.

Five exterior choices will be available for the Aion V Premium: Glacier White, Sahara Sand, Aurora Silver, Everest Grey, and Galaxy Blue.

And if you're considering getting this car, prospective owners will also benefit from an exclusive warranty package (battery, vehicle, electric drive unit), exclusive maintenance package (10-year/200,000km free servicing, whichever comes first), in-car internet service (free internet package for two years, 4GB/month), a lifetime of over-the-air updates for the firmware, and free 24-hour roadside assistance for five years. Terms and conditions apply.

The Aion V Premium is priced from $166,988 (including Cat A COE) and is now available for viewing and test drives at the GAC Aion Singapore showroom, which is located at 24 Leng Kee Road, Singapore 159096.
