Aion dealers start taking orders for its UK B- Segment supermini in September with first deliveries starting in October.
Its 60kWh battery is said to provide 268 miles of range, capable of charging from 30-80% in 24 minutes with the 204PS motor delivering a 0-62 mph time of 7.3 seconds.
The UT is available in five colours, has “high-quality” interior materials and comes with heated front seats, 14.6” central touch screen and 360° surround-view camera.
The single trim level can be enhanced with an optional Premium Pack, which includes panoramic glass roof, powered tailgate, ventilated driver’s seat and wireless phone charging.
“The AION UT is a small car that acts big on longer journeys. It’s the perfect nippy weekday runaround, with the space and range to comfortably take the family on weekend road trips,” said Jon Wakefield, managing director of AION Auto UK.
“With its styling led by GAC’s Milan design studio specifically for the European market, the UT’s playful character and exceptional specification – combined with our AION Great 8 Promise – is really going to appeal to anyone looking for more from a compact car,” he added.
The UT has been engineered for UK roads, with modifications to the springs, dampers, bump-stops and calibration. It also gets a revised anti-roll bar.
It comes with an eight-year warranty, eight years’ servicing and eight years’ roadside assistance and MOT until the car is eight years old. The package is valid when ownership transfers to another driver.
