    Super quick AION Y PLUS overview in under 5 minutes. The AION Y PLUS is GAC AION’s updated AION Y EV. Although shared somewhat like an MPV this is strictly a 5 seater boasting a lot of rear headroom and legroom! It’s also pretty budget friendly!
    This is a new format of video @Chinadriven for those who are looking for the quick overall info on Chinese EVs. It’s tough to squeeze as much info as possible into 5mins, but we try to give the broad strokes.

      Yes they are Daylight Running Lights or DRLs, as @jwickerszh said AION calls them Angel light.
      They all have silly names for their “Signature lighting”

    Very good package, though not a huge fan of their redesigned tallights, I think the previous model looked a bit better there. Also you did not mention but it was one of the first EV that pioneered the in-Car cinema fashion with an optional projector and roll-down screen and front seats that lie down flat with the rear seats. It also had an optional mattress to fit that setup.

    • @ChinaDriven
      @ChinaDriven  Рік тому

      But I don’t think, or rather I didn’t see the Cinema feature on this AION Y PLUS updated version. Maybe they cancelled it.
      But yes the Original AION Y was the first with that feature before Xpeng made waves with it in the P5. But I’m still yet to see a P5 with this installed. Even in the showrooms

      @@ChinaDriven It is still mentioned on their website and mobile app, although it is not in the configurator so it may be an aftersale thing they may propose at the dealership.

      Of course these Traditional OEMs have deep pockets. A proven track record. And the ability to attract talent knowing they aren’t going to go out of business in 2 years.
      Some Chinese OEMs are doing better than others. Will be interesting to see who are the survivors in 5+ years

      Many of them on the roads. I assume the price for the range and the huge amount of space it offers is key to it's success. Looks are definitely not it's strong suit!
