\n<\/span>Designed for trend-seeking Filipino drivers who value both style and substance, the AION UT is poised to bring fresh new energy to the EV hatchback segment with a driving experience that goes well beyond what its compact footprint suggests.<\/span><\/p>\n

Inspired by European art and fashion, the AION UT embraces “Milanese Aesthetics,” a sleek and expressive design philosophy that gives the vehicle a playful yet chic and sophisticated personality.

Though compact on the outside, the 5-seater AION UT delivers the openness, comfort, and practicality typically associated with much larger vehicles. Built around a class-leading 2,750mm wheelbase and an intelligently packaged interior, the AION UT creates a cabin experience that feels airy, flexible, and ready for real life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s spontaneous <\/span>barkada<\/span><\/i> road trips, shopping runs, sports gear, travel essentials, or everyday city living, the AION UT adapts effortlessly to different lifestyles. Flat-folding rear seats and a versatile cargo area further enhance its usability, creating an interior space designed to keep up with wherever life takes its drivers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beyond style and practicality, the AION UT is engineered with the safety and confidence expected from a modern global EV. It features GAC\u2019s ultra-safe \u201cMagazine Battery\u201d technology, a high-strength steel body structure, and fast-charging capability that can replenish the battery from 30% to 80% in approximately 24 minutes.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>The AION UT will be offered in five body colors, namely: Champs-Elysees Beige, Emerald Green, Rococo White, and Seine Silver plus a two-tone combination of Rococo White + Emerald Green.\u00a0 Other specifications will be shared in subsequent announcements.
