In the field of new energy vehicles, which are "rising together", the arms race around endurance, driving assistance and technological configuration has intensified. At the 2021 Guangzhou Auto Show, GAC Aean released a new model - AION LX Plus, from the name we can not easily see that the new car is based on the previously released AION LX, the owner of the long endurance and high-end driving assistance functions. So can such a new car that is about to go on the market stand out in the market? Let's take a look at it today.
Knock on the chalkboard to draw the point
1. GAC AION LX Plus will be officially launched in early January 2022.
2. The 1008km endurance model will be delivered in the second quarter of 2022
3. The new car will be equipped with three lidars to realize the urban/high-speed NDA function of GAC Aean. (Expected to appear on high-end models or in an optional form)
The shape has not changed much, and it is still a familiar "taste"
AION LX Plus is 4835/1935/1685mm in length, 1935/1685mm in length, 2920mm in wheelbase, and the car is based on the GEP 2.0 pure electric exclusive platform, so the internal seating space can also be better optimized.
High performance is also a highlight of this AION LX Plus, according to the official, the top version of this car will have a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 2.9s, so engineers have also selected a PILOT SPORT4 SUV series of high-performance tires from Michelin to provide better grip for the whole vehicle.
Exterior design comments: AION LX Plus has made certain modifications in the front part of the car, but overall, the new car has not made much drastic changes in the design of the side and rear, and still continues the "taste" of the Aehan family.
The luxurious texture does not decrease, and the smart cockpit has evolved again
AION LX Plus is a model that focuses on smart cockpit and technology configuration, which combines the many successes of GAC Aean, so more highlights of the new car are also concentrated in the car.
According to the information obtained so far, the AION LX Plus vehicle is equipped with 35 intelligent driving hardware, including 3 lidar, 6 millimeter wave radar, 12 ultrasonic radar, 8 high-definition cameras, 4 surround view cameras and 2 independent positioning modules, and is equipped with GAC Aean's urban and high-speed NDA functions, and according to the manufacturer's engineers, the car can realize the automatic driving assistance function from point A to point B. In addition, the car is equipped with more advanced summon parking and remote parking functions.
AION LX Plus is equipped with ADiGO 4.0 intelligent network system, which also has a greater breakthrough in voice control. Through the voice recognition system, the driving mode, energy recovery and other functions can be controlled, which greatly improves the sense of communication between people and cars. In addition, at the software level, in addition to the common music and navigation functions, the members of the car can also achieve the shooting and real-time upload of vibrato through the camera in the car and the 5G network, which is very fresh.

Editor's Summary: As the release date approaches, more news about this AION LX Plus is constantly coming to light. At present, the new car does have a big breakthrough in endurance and driver assistance configuration, and it must be the biggest highlight of the new car, but it also means that the price of this car will inevitably rise compared with AION LX (22.96-34.96 million). And whether many of its technology configurations are as innovative as the manufacturers advertise in terms of use, we have to wait until the opportunity to test drive before judging.
