Aion ES buyer's guides & reviews

Verdict

The Aion ES gives Malaysian buyers a conventional C-segment sedan body, five seats and a quoted 442 km range at a price just above the BYD Seal 6. It is substantially cheaper than the Tesla Model 3 and Dongfeng 007, but those cars occupy higher price points. The limitation is simple: there is one powertrain and one trim, so buyers cannot add range or performance within the ES line-up.
