WATT MATTERS?

The AION UT makes a persuasive case for the electric hatchback. Five doors, five seats and a distinctly playful shape give it more personality than its price suggests. Its real challenge is persuading Australians to take a chance on a name they may barely know.

THE BASICS

This front-wheel-drive five-seater uses a 60kWh LFP battery and claims 430km WLTP range. Its compact hatchback format is well suited to urban life, but it also has enough claimed range to look beyond the daily commute. GAC is selling it through its Australian dealer network.

THE WATTCAR TAKE

At a current advertised $31,990 drive-away for the Premium, the UT deserves a place on an affordable-EV shortlist. The specification looks strong; the questions are how the car feels on the road and how its newer local ownership network performs over time.
