GAC Aion

Its best-selling Aion Y and Aion S sedans start at ¥119,800 (about $16,600), while the premium Hyper brand targets NIO, with the Hyper GT offering 800V charging. This dual strategy propelled Aion to capture 8% of China’s EV market, outpacing Leapmotor’s 2% share. With 250,000 cumulative exports to Southeast Asia, GAC Aion proves that volume and innovation can coexist without luxury pricing.
