Hyper GT 2023 model, a high-end brand of AION, a luxury rear-drive electric coupe with a range of up to 710KM
First, we will remind you that Aion was initially launched as a sub-brand under GAC New Energy. However, the demand for Aion vehicles appeared to be quite strong in China, so it became a stand-alone brand in 2020. Currently, GAC is one of the most popular NEV (New Energy Vehicle) brand on the Chinese car market. Its cumulative sales from January to June reached 209,336 vehicles with Y-O-Y increase of 109%. Now, the Aion Hyper GT has also hit the market to enhance its market performance.
Let’s start with the exterior design of the Aion Hyper GT. It adopts a new design language of the Aion’s Hyper series. The distinguishing features of this EV are sloped bonnet line, scissor front doors, flush door handles, active rear spoiler, a LiDAR sensor on top of the roof and two more LiDAR sensors on front fenders. It also has slanted front pillars and a slick roofline. As a result, the Aion Hyper GT has an extremely low drag coefficient of 0.197 Cd. Speaking about its dimensions, they are 4886/1885/1449 mm with a wheelbase 2920 mm.
Interior of the GAC Aion Hyper GT has a 14.6-inch floating touch screen and a thin 8.8-inch LCD instrument panel. As for the center tunnel, it has a pair of cup holders, two wireless charging pads and an armrest. The steering wheel has three spokes and a rectangular shape. Behind the steering, we can see the Face ID sensor that monitors the driver. Another feature of the Hyper GT is the Dolby Atmos sound system that comprises 23 speakers. It also supports the ADiGO Pilot self-driving system. But its functions have yet to be completed.
Speaking about the powertrain of the Aion Hyper GT, it has several options. The entry level car has a single electric motor on the rear axle for 245 hp and 355 Nm. With it on board, the Hyper GT accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.5 seconds. This e-motor is powered by a 60-kWh ternary (NMC) battery for 560 km of range. The RWD version can be also equipped with an LFP battery for 70 kWh and 600 km of range. This is the only version that supports the battery swap technology. As for the top battery version, it is ternary for 80 kWh and 710 km of range. It is paired with a more powerful e-motor for 340 hp and 430 Nm. It speeds up from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds.
