Shanghai (ZXZC)- On March 7, GAC AION, the new energy vehicle (NEV) arm of GAC Group, put the AION Y Younger, onto the market with a guidance price of 119,800 yuan ($17,180). Its advent has further lowered the starting price of the AION Y PLUS’ lineup.

The AION Y Younger still retains the exterior design of the other existing versions. The closed-off grille coupled with the angel-wing-styled headlights is pretty eye-catching. At the rear, the light strip running across the vehicle’s width is unmistakable when lit up at night.

The new product measures 4,535mm long, 1,870mm wide, and 1,650mm tall, with a wheelbase that spans 2,750mm. All the parameters are the same as the existing versions.

In the ADiGO SPACE intelligent cockpit, drivers can still find a three-spoke steering wheel, a 10.25-inch liquid crystal dashboard, and a 14.6-inch console-mounted liquid crystal display. The new car is equipped with IBCM function, which can make car doors automatically unlocked when the driver is getting close.

Other niceties include IBCM non-inductive activation, rear parking radar, eco-map, voice assistant, and cruise control.

Both front and rear seats can fold flat, providing a flexible and versatile interior space.

The AION Y Younger is equipped with an electric motor at the front axle, which is good for up to 100kW and 176 N·m. It is powered by a 51.9kWh LFP Magazine battery pack, which enables a range of 430km under the CLTC test cycle.
