Overview

  • Pre-orders are live through a UK concierge service, with the first showrooms, including a Slough flagship, due to open at the end of May.
  • CA Auto Finance is the exclusive partner under the Aion Financial Services banner, offering PCP deals from £379 a month at 2.9% APR.
  • The Aion V uses a 75.3kWh battery for a claimed 317 miles and can charge from 30% to 80% in 18 minutes on a 180kW DC charger, with prices starting at £36,450.
  • Buyers get the Great 8 package of an eight-year or 125,000‑mile warranty with servicing, MOT and roadside cover, and the AA will support customers nationwide as the network builds.
  • Early test drives highlight a quiet, comfortable ride and an upscale cabin with lots of kit, though reviewers say the exterior styling may split opinion.
