The GAC Aion ES has been launched in Malaysia at the ongoing Kuala Lumpur International Mobility Show (KLIMS) 2024. The EV sedan is offered in one variant priced at RM106,800. In conjunction with its official launch, buyers get a free 7 kW wallbox worth RM3,500.
The Aion ES measures 4,810 mm long, 1,880 mm wide and 1,545 mm tall with a wheelbase of 2,750 mm, making it larger than fellow C-segment classmates such as the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla Altis and Mazda 3 sedan.
A 136 PS/225 Nm electric motor, fed by a 55.2 kWh LFP battery, drives the front wheels, enabling a 442 km NEDC range. The boot holds 450 litres and wheels are 17-inch alloys wrapped in 215/55 rubber.
The Aion ES can be charged at up to 6.6 kW AC (11 hours to full) or 60 kW DC (1.5 hours to full, 30-80% in 30 minutes). There’s also 3.3 kW Vehicle-to-Load (V2L), one-pedal driving and three regen settings.
As standard you get all-LED lighting, auto headlamps and wipers, dual-zone auto air-con, rear air vents, leatherette seats, one-touch power windows (up+down for driver, down only for front passenger), conventional cruise control and a power tailgate.
There’s more – a rotary gear selector, auto-dim rear-view mirror, six-way driver seat adjustment, 3.5-inch LCD multi-info display and an eight-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay.
Safety-wise, you get two airbags (!), ISOFIX, reverse camera and ESP. Available colours are Glamour Black, Holographic Silver and Pure White.
Warranties are eight years/160,000 km for the vehicle, eight years/200,000 km for the battery, motor and ECU. The network currently consists of 21 new showrooms and service centres nationwide.

An EV with 130km/h top speed. Axia can go faster than that.
why papa tan havent force grab to use this and the aion mpv as grabcar?
Two airbag only.. oh common….at least 4 to 6 airbag…
cheap is one thing but outdated design, small screen, 2 airbags, slow charging………………
interior is not so nice. not up to other China’s latest car offerings
Looks clean handsome outside & the size is a massive D segment (previous gen. Teana/Camry/Accord). However it’s appeal is seriously tainted by=
1. Weird small screen infotainment for our market. Bezel inside a bezel?
2. Two airbags = skimping on safety?
3. No physical climate buttons.
4. Very long time (11H) for AC charging at home.
5. Poor reputation & after sales track record by ETCM.
All these Chinese cars not only kill the Japanese brands, even our used car value is in jeopardy. All will worth a lot less!
Comical dc charging speeds and bad safety spec
Nowonder Tan Chong is losing money. Whoever that made the decision for this specification can be fired.
we are starting to get all these funny poorly designed and poorly equipped china cars.. look at the exterior, interior and technical specification.. and then look at the price.. surely walk off
Topu murah
who made that brochure? oh my.. reading lights, storage.. just a proof that this car is lacking of features
Those that not so involved in the EV world may not have heard of AION. One of the most reputable brand in China after BYD and ROEWE. A good comparison is the Suzuki of the ICE world. Unlike overpriced Suzuki, this brand offers way more value for the money.
Fifty cent army say this company good can buy one.
wihtout the 100k limit, i think this car can sell for half the price,which make sense for e hailing,cabs etc..looks like its design to be just that
