GAC AION V REVIEW AUSTRALIA

EV Channels Review

The GAC Aion V is presented as a compelling budget-friendly electric SUV, potentially the best value EV from China. The reviewer highlights its attractive design, spacious interior, and impressive standard features, even on the base model. Key positives include a panoramic glass roof, heated and ventilated front seats, a large touchscreen, and a claimed 500km+ EV range with fast charging capabilities. The high-spec 'Luxury' model further enhances the offering with features like massaging seats and a unique refrigerator/heater. While the reviewer praises the overall package for its price, they note some minor drawbacks such as awkward door handle access and a potentially frustrating driver-side charge port location. The driving experience is described as comfortable and balanced for commuting, though not overtly dynamic. Safety features are abundant, backed by a 5-star Euro NCAP rating and a strong 8-year unlimited km vehicle warranty. The reviewer concludes it's a very strong contender for its price point, offering significant value.
