JAKARTA AION Indonesia doesn't seem to want to linger in building its position in the Indonesian automotive market. Even though it's only been as long as corn, they have presented three models and are now preparing to add one more model to the ranks of their products.

AION Indonesia CEO Andry Ciu revealed that the new model will be introduced at the 2024 Gaikindo Jakarta Auto Week (GJAW) exhibition which will be held starting November 22.

"The new model can be ordered and has a right steering wheel," he said when met in the PIK 2 area recently.

One source from the manufacturer who did not want to be named revealed to VOI that the model to be brought will later fill the AION brand instead of Hyptec.

"Bakal mengisi di merek AION," katanya, saat dihubungi, Senin, 11 November.

Although there has been no official statement regarding what model will be introduced, predictions lead to an AION V electric SUV that has a cruising range of more than 600 km. This estimate is quite reasonable considering AION V has just been launched in Thailand at a price of no more than 1,000,000 baht or around Rp456 million.

In terms of specifications, AION V has dimensions greater than Y Plus, with a length of 4,605 mm, a width of 1,854 mm, a height of 1,660 mm, and a wheelbase of 2,775 mm. The design looks dashing with a strong off-road feel.

This car is powered by a 75.3 kWh-capacity 00V Lithium-ion (LFP) magazine battery that allows acceleration from 0-100 km/hour within 7.9 seconds, and a maximum speed of 160 km/hour. AION V also comes with a Front Wheel Drive configuration that supports its dynamic performance.
