I believe that when most people go back to their hometowns for the Chinese New Year, if they drive a new energy pure electric vehicle, their biggest worry is definitely the range issue. After all, there are especially many cars traveling back home during the New Year. On the one hand, the long distance is a challenge to range capability; on the other hand, recharging on the highway is inconvenient and often requires queuing, with waits lasting several hours. Therefore, a pure electric car with a high range achievement rate and fast charging has become a "rigid need"; to solve this kind of anxiety problem, we might as well take a look at the AION RT.
The AION RT is GAC AION's second global strategic model, positioned as a "new face-control intelligent driving sedan," and has earned the title of "big-eyed little Panamera." At the same time, it also has product advantages such as high-level intelligent driving with lidar, long range and fast charging, and a class-leading soft-wrapped spacious cabin, and is deeply favored by the market and consumers, as can be seen from its cumulative sales of nearly 30,000 units in the two months since launch. This article will also briefly analyze it for everyone from these aspects.
Since the issue of range mileage has been mentioned, then let us start with the AION RT's range and charging, as it has the advantages of long range and fast charging. The AION RT offers two range options, 520 km and 650 km. Thanks to its low-drag body design, together with the support of a dedicated pure electric platform, heat pump air conditioning, magazine battery, battery liquid cooling technology, battery low-temperature heating, and other technologies, its range achievement rate exceeds 95%. In previous media range tests, the range achievement rate reached 98%, and some even achieved range data exceeding 100%.
To address range anxiety, a high range achievement rate alone is obviously not enough. The AION RT is equipped with 3C fast charging technology, which can provide 200 kilometers of range with a 10-minute charge, and charging from 30% to 80% takes only 18 minutes; when going home for the New Year, you can fully charge the car while using the restroom at a service area, and the key point is that it is not picky about charging piles.
"Big-eyed little Panamera" obviously refers to the AION RT's exterior. It adopts a million-yuan luxury-car-level G4 curvature design, with a drag coefficient of only 0.208Cd. The front face is paired with "Swift Dragon Eye" headlights, making it look full of spirit; while the body lines are strikingly similar to those of the Porsche Panamera, and when viewed from a 45° angle, the two are very similar. To use an internet buzzword, the AION RT's looks are very impressive.
High-level intelligent driving with lidar is also the AION RT's "killer feature." You should know that in the 150,000-yuan price range, the only model that can be equipped with this function is the AION RT. In terms of hardware, it is equipped with a 126-line intelligent variable-focus lidar, an Orin-X chip, and adopts a mapless NDA high-level intelligent driving solution, supporting urban NDA, highway NDA, and highway adaptive cruise and other functions. Regarding the AION RT's high-level intelligent driving, I can tell everyone very responsibly that it is indeed awesome. In previous test drive experiences, for urban roads, rural roads, and even complex road conditions caused by road construction, it was able to effectively identify them and pass through precisely, with no takeover throughout the entire process.
As an A+ class sedan, the AION RT also adopts a class-leading soft-wrapped spacious space design. Its body dimensions are 4865 mm x 1875 mm x 1520 mm in length, width, and height respectively, with a wheelbase of 2775 mm, and its interior space can rival that of a B-class car. At the same time, it is also equipped with luxury leather seats, and the front seats support electric adjustment, ventilation, heating, and one-touch flat-folding and other functions. Whether in terms of user-friendliness or practicality, it is very good.
Conclusion:
If you still have anxiety about the range mileage of pure electric vehicles, then the AION RT is worth your attention. In addition to a range achievement rate exceeding 95%, it also has good car purchase policies. For example: from January 1, 2025 to January 31, 2025, buying an AION allows you to enjoy a "trade-in" fallback guarantee; from January 1, 2025 to February 28, 2025, you can enjoy a limited-time subsidy of 3,000 yuan. In other words, the AION RT could previously be bought for 120,000, and now it can be had for 100,000. The lidar high-level intelligent driving version that previously cost 150,000 can now be bought for 130,000; buying at this time is absolutely quite cost-effective.
(Special note: After the 2025 national subsidy policy is introduced, AION's "fallback policy" only applies to areas where there is no local national subsidy. For specific car purchase policies, you can consult your local dealer.)
