GAC New Energy Aion S is officially launched with a range that rivals Tesla

The global automobile market is moving towards electric new energy, and major automobile manufacturers are gearing up for the trillion-dollar "big cake" of China's electric vehicle market. Not only will Tesla, which has been watching from the sidelines, open a factory in Shanghai, China, but Japanese and Korean automakers are also eager to try hydrogen energy, and even traditional automakers such as Volkswagen, Audi, and Mercedes-Benz have released delivery plans for the Chinese new energy market.

In contrast, our domestic independent brands originally planned to "overtake on curves" in electrification. However, the reality is that due to factors such as brand accumulation, they are still under tremendous pressure in the terminal market, especially the subsidy reduction and false endurance are like a painted skin. After being ruthlessly torn apart by the market, the development prospects of domestic independent brand new energy vehicles have been further worse.

Although some domestic brands are indifferent to the interests of users, the public has doubted the overall domestic brands. However, in this unfavorable environment, GAC New Energy has launched a series of combined punches, which not only has the subjective reality of improving its own brand value, but also has the objective result of correcting the overall image of domestic brands. The Aion S released by GAC New Energy on April 27 is the best practice of this concept.

Hard power, mileage strength challenge Tesla

Aion S, known as the leader of mid-to-high-end smart sedans, is the first strategic model built by GAC New Energy based on the second-generation pure electric exclusive platform GEP. It is worth noting that the pure electric exclusive platform of Aion S is different from the oil-electric platform used by many new energy vehicles. The pure electric platform is centered on the battery pack. Therefore, at the beginning of the design, the frame will give priority to battery capacity so as to accommodate more battery packs.

In addition, Aion S is the world's first pure electric vehicle to use "811" high-performance batteries and deeply integrated high-performance "three-in-one" electric drive system. It is also the first pure electric vehicle in China with a comprehensive range of 510km.

In terms of driving range, the Aion S is outstanding, and is comparable to Tesla's Model 3. In terms of performance, the Aions is also outstanding, with the electric drive system providing a maximum power of 135kW and a maximum torque of 300N.m. Thanks to the ultra-low drag coefficient of 0.245Cd, the 7.9-second 0-100-kilometer acceleration is enough to let the driver feel the pleasure of extreme speed.

High appearance, deep customization highlights personality

The "arrow-through-the-clouds" front face with a strong sense of depth is enough to make the Aion S stand out in the traffic. The large black air intake grille at the bottom of the front face is very eye-catching, while the closed air intake grilles on both sides are very sporty. The T-shaped LED headlights do not look like a product of this era at all, but closer to the mysterious future, and are highly recognizable when lit up in the dark.

On the side of the body, the deep roof gives the Aion S a sense of deep space, and this depth is actually a panoramic sunroof with solar charging function. The world's first solar-powered intelligent ecological cockpit created by this can realize automatic ventilation and battery charging functions in the car, achieving unprecedented balance between environmental protection and technology. It can be said to be a combination of technology and environmental protection.

In terms of body size, the AION S's 4768/1880/1530mm dimensions are far ahead of its peers, and can even be compared to some B-class cars. The rear of the car is very stylish, with the popular through-type taillights and a ducktail spoiler on the tailgate.

It is worth mentioning that Aion S is also the world's first deeply customized car, with more than 16,800 customization combinations to choose from. Users can also participate in personalized exclusive design and witness the entire vehicle production process in the world's leading interactive customization factory.

All is well, the super service plan protects drivers

In terms of product hard core strength, Aion S is already in place. However, GAC New Energy is not satisfied with this and is also taking a step further in soft strength. For example, high-tech, full-coverage car service is an upgrade to escort drivers.

In response to the different policies, different car-using environments and personalized needs of consumers in different cities, GAC New Energy has launched the "Super Service Plan" to provide a systematic, efficient and easy-to-use solution in terms of service. In addition, in response to the fact that there are too few charging piles and their uneven distribution in many cities, GAC New Energy has also launched a "charging service for customers". When users cannot find a charging pile or it is inconvenient to charge, GAC New Energy's professional team can provide door-to-door service immediately and deliver the fully charged vehicle to the designated location, allowing users to enjoy the convenience and security of every trip without leaving home. In this way, Aion S is a bit like Starbucks in coffee and Haidilao in hot pot. While having excellent product strength, it pursues the ultimate experience of consumers and better serves consumers.

Summarize

In my opinion, GAC New Energy is a pragmatic brand among China's new energy independent brands. From the world-class smart ecological factory to the 25-hour experience center, all of them are working hard to improve the user experience. The arrival of Aion S is a result of GAC New Energy's efforts to practice the "original spirit". For the entire Chinese new energy vehicle industry, Aion S is the driver's car that the industry really needs and is a truly conscientious product.
