The exterior of the AION RT introduces a new design concept centered on "Human-Machine Symbiosis Aesthetics." The car features smooth, rounded lines that create a visually pleasing silhouette. Its polygonal front headlights, accented with sleek, upward-pointing light strips, stand out with their smoked finish, resembling lively eyes. Black aerodynamic elements on either side of the sealed front grille enhance both the vehicle’s sporty appeal and its aerodynamic efficiency.

The side profile of the AION RT is dynamic, with two prominent lines running from front to back, giving the car a more sculpted look. The wheels feature a trendy “Starlock” design, adding a touch of modernity and sportiness. The car also adopts hidden door handles, contributing to a luxurious and tech-savvy appearance.

At the rear, the AION RT sports a subtle "swallowtail" design, with an upturned rear spoiler and an inward-tapering lower bumper. This is complemented by split tail lamps and the prominently displayed AION logo, enhancing the vehicle's recognition on the road.

The AION RT measures 4,865mm in length, 1,875mm in width, and 1,520mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,775mm, providing ample interior space.

Thanks to a column-mounted shifter, the central console is neatly arranged, with a wireless phone charging pad, cup holders, storage boxes, and a hidden charging design. High-contact areas, such as the armrest and dashboard, are wrapped in soft materials, providing a refined and comfortable tactile experience.

The AION RT is also equipped with a panoramic dual sunroof and dual electric sunshades, allowing for customizable open-air experiences. Additionally, the car comes with an integrated fragrance system, keeping the cabin air fresh for extended periods.
