JAKARTA - GAC Group through its new energy vehicle sub-brand, Aion, officially introduced the Aion N60 in the Chinese market. This minivan-style electric model is projected to be the successor to the Aion Y Plus that came first.

Aion is a new energy vehicle line owned by GAC Group based in Guangzhou and is a state-owned company. One of its flagship models, Aion Y Plus, is quite popular with both private users and online transportation service providers.

However, sales performance has started to decline, with distribution of only 14,639 units in the first quarter of 2026 or down 30.4 percent year-on-year, based on data from China EV DataTracker. The presence of Aion N60 is a step to refresh products in the same segment.

Although positioned as a successor, this model does not immediately replace the Y Plus completely because the two will still be marketed side by side for a while. In terms of design, the Aion N60 still maintains a familiar silhouette with a short hood, a sloping A pillar, and a slightly curved roof line.

The rear view is made concise with a short overhang, combined with a semi-hidden door handle and a strip model taillight. Meanwhile, in the front, this car carries a large air intake with two main headlights placed under an elongated LED daytime running light.

Overall, the shape is reminiscent of a compact minivan, although it is officially classified as a compact SUV for urban mobility needs. Its dimensions are 4,615 mm long, 1,883 mm wide, and 1,673 mm high, with a wheelbase of 2,775 mm.

Launching Carnewschina, Wednesday, April 29, safety and driving assistance technology has also been improved through the presence of LiDAR and 4D millimeter wave radar, which allows the Navigate On Autopilot (NOA) feature to work on city roads and toll roads.

Entering the cabin, the Aion N60 carries a minimalist approach typical of the Aion line. There is a round steering wheel with a transmission lever, as well as an 8.88-inch digital instrument panel behind the steering wheel. The main focus is on the 15.6-inch center screen that runs the Adigo 6.0 operating system.

The zero-gravity front passenger seat is the main selling point, complete with heating, ventilation, and massage features. Other features include 50W wireless charging, automatic air conditioning system, as well as additional options such as a 6.6-liter refrigerator, 11-speaker audio system, folding table, to cup holders in the back row.

For the powertrain sector, the Aion N60 uses a front-wheel-drive electric motor with 165 kW of power and 205 Nm of torque. The battery option provided by GAC's subsidiary, Inpow, comes in three different capacities: 45.582 kWh, 57.433 kWh, and 69.753 kWh.

Acceleration 0-100 km/h can be achieved in 7.9 to 8.5 seconds, depending on the variant. The distance covered based on the CLTC standard reaches 410 km, 510 km, and 610 km. This model is offered in three variants with the main difference in battery capacity.

The prices marketed in China start from 109,800 yuan (about Rp276 million) to 129,800 yuan (Rp327 million). Interestingly, GAC Group has also filed a version of the Aion N60 with swap battery technology.

Previously, the company has worked with CATL to present models that are compatible with battery exchange stations, such as the Aion RT sedan. Variants with this system will later be focused on the needs of online transportation fleets.
