MILAN: GAC Europe has launched its all-electric hatchback Aion UT which was co-designed by GAC's Advanced Design Centre in Milan.
The Chinese automaker's second all-electric Aion model will first go on sale in Finland, Greece, Poland and Portugal in the second quarter of 2026.
Other European markets will follow in the third quarter.
The Aion UT is billed as combining a contemporary design with a spacious interior and advanced intelligence and safety technology.
It has a wheelbase of 2,750mm and an interior space comparable to that of a mid-size sedan.
The infotainment system features dual screens: a 14.6-inch touchscreen and an 8.88-inch digital instrument cluster.
The Aion UT meets the highest safety standards, equipped with a double door ring, V-shaped side curtain airbags, and Level 2 ADAS technology.
The range is up to 430km (WLTP).
Charging from 30 to 80% via DC takes 24 minutes.
The 0–100kph sprint is completed in 7.3 seconds.
It is available in two trim levels: Premium and Luxury.
Like the Aion V, introduced in Europe last year, the Aion UT is assembled at Magna's facility in Graz.
Guided by its "In Europe, for Europe" commitment, GAC aims to actively contribute to the European electric mobility ecosystem, through local manufacturing, regional partnerships, and investment in sustainable mobility.
GAC's European Advanced Design Centre bridges Eastern automotive expertise with European design sensibility, developing vehicles tailored to the European market.
Located in Milan's Via Tortona design district, the centre brings together an international team of designers working on future mobility concepts, including next-generation electrification technologies.
