Overview
- GAC, which began local assembly of the Aion UT at Magna’s Graz plant on March 18, 2026, marked its first electric vehicle built in Europe.
- The Aion UT is pitched as Europe‑ready with a WLTP range up to 430 km and DC fast charging from 30% to 80% in about 24 minutes.
- In Australia, GAC opened pre‑orders with driveaway pricing for the first 600 buyers at $30,990 for the Premium and $35,990 for the Luxury, with deliveries expected from April 10.
- GAC says it now has 19 Australian dealerships and a Melbourne parts warehouse, and it plans about 100 dealers within five years to back service and rural coverage.
- Executives outline a broader push that adds a large SUV and an electrified ute by 2027 to target dominant segments and support a top‑10 sales goal within five years.
