With the world’s longest battery life and the support of Huawei 5G, how confident is the Aion LX, which claims to be a supercar SUV?

On August 29, GAC New Energy released its flagship model, Aion LX, at Yanqi Lake in Beijing. Aion LX is positioned as a cutting-edge supercar SUV product with the theme of "Leading the Times". In terms of price (after subsidies), the two-wheel drive base version starts at 250,000 yuan, and the four-wheel drive base version starts at 300,000 yuan. GAC New Energy mainly introduces the functional selling points of Aion LX from three points, namely configuration performance, intelligent Internet of Things, and considerate and thoughtful after-sales service system.

650km NEDC range, the best in the world

As an electric car, users are most concerned about the battery life. Although many car manufacturers on the market say that their battery life is sufficient, users still consider it as a core parameter due to power anxiety and the current layout of domestic charging piles. In this case, a strong battery life promise has become a reassurance for all car owners. The Aion LX released for pre-sale today has a NEDC battery life of 650km, which is officially ranked first in the world. Its acceleration from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour reaches 3.9 seconds, and its starting performance is very fierce.

It is reported that in order to achieve this endurance, Aion LX has made a lot of optimizations. It is not only equipped with a front and rear integrated dual "three-in-one" high-performance electric drive system, its dual permanent magnet motor output peak power of 300kW, peak torque of 700N·m, wheel end torque of up to 3900 N·m, but also equipped with a lightweight steel-aluminum body structure and low wind resistance body design, making it easy to get a faster starting speed.

The biggest guarantee for the endurance level can only come from the large battery itself. The Aion LX is equipped with a 590 large battery module. The battery pack capacity reaches 93kWh and the battery energy density is as high as 180Wh/kg. It is not difficult to understand the longer mileage achieved by this.

Be automatic and intelligent

In addition to the world's first mileage, the Aion LX is even more notable for its L3 autonomous driving assistance system, which, combined with "high-precision radar + Mobileye Q4 camera", can identify vehicles with stronger perception, thereby achieving the function of autonomous driving.

According to GAC New Energy, this model has the function of detecting the position and movement trends of vehicles and pedestrians within a radius of 200 meters. It can also predict the 1-kilometer path ahead in real time on the highway, and supports HWA high-speed lane change assisted driving system and APA fusion parking and other functions.

It is worth noting that Aion LX also supports 5G technology. From the on-site explanation, the solution for this model should be Huawei's communication module MH5000. This module was released by Huawei this year. It is based on Balong 5000 and is the world's first 5G vehicle-mounted module. From this point of view, GAC New Energy's layout on 5G is still quite cutting-edge. It is reported that this model equipped with this module will be mass-produced next year.

With 5G hardware support, Aion LX is also very functional in terms of interconnection. It is equipped with ADiGO Smart IoT System 3.0. Through it, you can connect with smart homes. For example, when you are about to get home, you can start the home mode. At this time, the air conditioner, sweeping robot, air purifier and other objects in the smart home scene will automatically operate and complete the preparation work in advance. Under the interaction of the entire intelligent connection system, Aion LX brings not only home scenes, but also charging piles, smart factories and other aspects.

Luxury cars, exclusive services

Since it is advertised as a supercar SUV and positioned as luxury, the Aion LX is bound to be more advanced in terms of configuration. It is equipped with the world's first fully laminated cold-bent 12.3-inch hyperbolic screen with a bending angle of nearly 168°, which provides a wider and more immersive field of view. At the same time, it also has Alpine 10 speakers, 32-color ambient lights and a variety of fragrance systems, which can further enhance your driving experience. In terms of interior, Aion LX said that it uses "top-level Nappa seats, leather seats, suede ceilings, real aluminum IP trims and other million-level luxury car-level luxury imported trims", and is positioned at the high end.

Gu Huinan, General Manager of GAC New Energy, pointed out that the current supporting services for users to buy cars are not in place, so Aion LX will be committed to breaking this and improving the user experience. In the early stage of car purchase, you can customize it according to your personal needs. Officials said that there are more than 60,000 customization combinations through the GAC New Energy APP, including not only interior and exterior decoration, but also some innovative functions such as solar smart ecological cabin.

After purchasing the car, Aion LX will still bring a series of exclusive services, including 6 major lifetime free benefits such as free charging piles and lifetime free data traffic, as well as the exclusive service of "one-click all-inclusive" including lifetime free warranty for three electrics. If you purchase Aion LX during the pre-sale period, you can also get 6 free valet charging services in the first year and lifetime free helicopter rescue services in emergency scenarios.

Fast start, long battery life, L3 autonomous driving, towards 5G, smart connectivity... the new Aion LX has many highlights. As Gu Huinan said at the press conference, "Our strength does not allow us to be low-key."

In recent years, the domestic auto market has been sluggish and has not performed well. Starting from the perspective of intelligence, Aion LX not only plays an important role in enhancing the competitiveness of its own products, but also objectively leads the industry towards a new development path. This is the most important significance that GAC New Energy Aion LX brings to the industry.
