Car Buyer's Guide

Overview

The Aion Y Plus is a first-generation, B-segment electric SUV launched in Malaysia in 2024. It suits buyers looking at a five-seat EV with a 63.2 kWh battery, 430 km stated range and 201 hp motor, without stepping into larger and pricier electric SUVs. Prices start at RM119,800 for the Elite.

Y Plus in 2026 — what's new

For 2026, the Aion Y Plus carries on unchanged. The range remains the Elite and Premium, both using the same 63.2 kWh battery, 430 km range rating, 201 hp output, single-ratio automatic drive and five-seat layout. The latest movement has been around 2025 offers, including the Anniversary Mega Offer and Raya free-instalment campaign, rather than a facelift or specification change.

Which variant to buy

Most buyers should start with the Elite at RM119,800. The Premium costs RM135,800, so the RM16,000 gap does not buy a larger battery, longer stated range, more power or extra seats based on the core specs. On paper you are paying for trim, not mechanicals — check the equipment list, and move up only if the Premium adds cabin or convenience kit you actually want.

Verdict

The Y Plus is easy to understand: one battery, one motor output and two trim levels. Its 430 km range rating and five-seat layout give it a clear family-EV brief, but pricing needs a plain reading. Perodua QV-E at RM80,000, Seres 3 at RM95,000 and BYD Atto 2 at RM100,000 all start lower; the iCaur V23 and iCaur 03 start at the same money.
