At the 2024 Beijing Motor Show, the second-generation GAC AION V (hereinafter referred to as the "second-generation AION V"), which is built on the AEP platform and positioned as a mid-size SUV, was officially unveiled. However, recently, the interior of the second-generation AION V finally ushered in its debut, with a variety of space play and home-based configurations all on the car, adding another fierce player to the pure electric family SUV market.
The official also gave this car a very memorable name - Tyrannosaurus Rex, mainly to highlight its design features in terms of appearance. However, this car has been officially unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show not long ago, so we will not spend a lot of time on the appearance, but briefly over.
The second-generation AION V adopts the original "ecological function" design language, and the overall style is also a hard-core style, with a large number of straight lines outlined, which looks more powerful than the previous generation of the new car.
The new car measures 4605x1854x1660mm and has a wheelbase of 2775mm, positioning it as a mid-size SUV. In addition, the second-generation AION V has a range of up to 750km, and for the first time, silicon carbide is applied to a 400V platform, supporting 15min charging and 370km.
It is worth mentioning that the second-generation AION V is Aion's first global strategic model and the first AION monogram model, which has the strategic significance of pioneering the way. The above is a series of information that has been announced for the new car. Then let's quickly enter the interior link of this first public to see what is worth paying attention to in the new car.
Inside, the second-generation AION V has undergone minor changes from the facelifted model at the end of the first generation, but the overall design is similar.
The second-generation AION V is equipped with a 14.6-inch multi-function central control screen as standard, and is equipped with a new generation of high-computing power chips, and the new ADiGO 5.0 system has a more intuitive and smooth PAD-based desktop, which is easier to use and has a smoother experience.
At the same time, the vehicle-machine interconnection, navigation experience and entertainment ecology have been greatly optimized, and mainstream audio-visual apps such as Station B and Mango TV can also be downloaded in the app store.
The second-generation AION V is equipped with four-tone voice interaction throughout the car, so that all occupants can easily control the functions in the car. In addition, the new car is equipped with the ADiGO SENSE AI large model, which can self-learn and evolve.
The wake word defaults to "Hello, North Nose", of course, you can also customize it, such as "Hello Qianqian", and the voice system supports continuous dialogue for up to 30s.
The air outlet of the second-generation AION V is made of metal, but we found that the water mist around the air outlet condenses and forms stain-like spots, which is somewhat aesthetically detrimental.
There is a through-type atmosphere light strip in front of the co-pilot, with a 3D level display, which can also be set to follow the music and the visual effect.
There is a "small platform" behind the light strip that can be used to place sundries, and with the makeup mirror with a light ring illumination above, the girlfriend/wife can easily apply makeup in the passenger seat.
However, the co-pilot canceled the setting of the glove box and gave the two hooks as an alternative to the storage expansion.
The entire door panel of the second-generation AION V is covered with soft materials and outlined with stitching to create a diamond-shaped pattern, which greatly enhances the sense of luxury compared to the previous model.
In addition, the interior door handles of the second-generation AION V have a rather unique shape and opening method, which is very designed, and at the same time, it also makes the door design more integrated.
Under the door panel, you can see that the second-generation AION V is equipped with the Belgian Premium premium audio, which has an 8-inch subwoofer, and the sound can be as low as 45HZ, making the sound field in the cabin more expressive.
The second-generation AION V is equipped with a "butterfly massage chair" in both the main and passenger seats, with an 8-point massage function, 5 massage modes and 3 massage intensities, which is rare in its class. Of course, the main and passenger seats have basic configurations such as seat ventilation/heating.
In addition, the front and rear seats can also be "taxi-hailing", so that the car becomes a "double bed room", and the bus is suitable for the board.
The second-generation AION V is not only in the family scene, but also the car refrigerator, which is now the favorite of SUVs, has also been arranged. The refrigerator has a capacity of 6.6L, adopts an independent compressor structure, supports three modes of freezing, refrigeration and heating, the lowest temperature can reach -15 °C, and the heating temperature can reach 50 °C.
Next, we're going to go to the back row. When you open the door, you can see that the rear door opening angle of the second-generation AION V is very large, close to 90 degrees, which is more convenient for children and the elderly to get in and out of the car.
After entering the car, you can see that the rear seats of the second-generation AION V have an adjustable inclination, with a total of 20 degrees in the front and rear and equipped with 18 adjustable positions, with a maximum adjustment of 137 degrees.
The small table in the back row, an artifact for children to catch up with homework on the way to school, teachers no longer have to worry about homework being eaten by dogs.
Open the electric tailgate, you can see the trunk of the second-generation AION V, which has a total of 03 layers of storage space, with a volume of up to 427L.
After the rear seats are folded down, its space can be increased to 987L, although it is not a flat space, but the slope difference is very small, and the performance is acceptable.
Look up to see the panoramic canopy, which measures 2.14 square meters and comes with electric sunshades.
There is a 12V/120W interface next to it, which basically supplies power to a laptop, and some friends may not think it is enough.
If you have a greater demand for electricity, you can use the V2L external discharge function of this car, with a maximum discharge power of 3.3kW, which is more than enough to connect a rice cooker or oven.
It is worth mentioning that the second-generation AION V front seats are equipped with remote airbags in the middle, which can effectively reduce the damage of secondary collisions of occupants. The side curtains are nearly 2.3 metres long and provide continuous protection in the event of a rollover. In addition, a child's head covering cavity has been added to the rear area of the new car to further enhance the protection effect.
On the whole, whether it is a seat with massage, a large bed connected to the front and back, a refrigerator, V2L external discharge, etc., I believe everyone can feel the strong family atmosphere created by the second-generation AION V. In the highly competitive SUV market, the second-generation AION V uses these scene configurations to brand itself with a very distinctive label.
Write at the end
Previously, Gu Huinan, general manager of GAC Aion, said that the second-generation AION V is Aion's first global model, which adopts the European standard design, so in addition to the Chinese market, the new car will also face the European market. Of course, as a new generation model, after re-entering the market, the most important thing is to give a sincere price after the value is reflected. It is reported that the new car will be rolled off the assembly line worldwide in mid-July, and officially launched in late July.
