Car Buyer's Guide

Overview

The Aion Y Plus is a B-segment electric SUV launched in Malaysia in 2024. It suits buyers after a five-seat EV with a 63.2 kWh battery, 430 km WLTP range and 201 hp from a single motor. Prices start from RM119,800 for the Elite, with the Premium at the top of the range.

Y Plus in 2026 — what's new

The Aion Y Plus carries into 2026 unchanged, with no 2026-specific model update recorded. The Malaysian line-up remains the Elite and Premium, both using a 63.2 kWh battery, a 201 hp electric motor, single-ratio automatic transmission and five seats. The latest recorded news concerns 2025 promotional offers, including an Anniversary Mega Offer that advertised the model from RM95,800; this is a promotion, not a new model-year specification.

Which variant to buy

Most buyers should choose the Aion Y Plus Elite at RM119,800. It has the same 63.2 kWh battery, 430 km range, 201 hp motor, five-seat layout and single-ratio automatic transmission as the RM135,800 Premium. The RM16,000 gap therefore does not buy extra range or motor output. On paper, you are paying for trim rather than mechanicals, so check the Premium’s equipment list closely before spending more.

Verdict

The Aion Y Plus puts a 63.2 kWh battery, 430 km WLTP range and 201 hp into a five-seat B-segment EV package. Its entry price matches the iCaur V23 and iCaur 03, but sits above the RM80,000 Perodua QV-E, RM95,000 Seres 3 and RM100,000 BYD Atto 2. The Elite is the rational starting point because the Premium brings no stated powertrain or range gain.
