Chinese automaker GAC has officially opened pre-orders for its Aion UT electric hatchback in Australia, introducing a compelling option for budget-conscious consumers seeking to transition to electric vehicles.

The entry-level Premium grade is priced at $31,990 RRP (before on-road costs), with a special drive-away price of $30,990 available to the first 600 customers.

The Aion UT is powered by a 150kW/210Nm front-mounted electric motor paired with a 60kWh battery pack, delivering a WLTP-rated range of 430km. This range is competitive within the segment, where some rivals offer ranges in the 300km territory.

GAC's introduction of the Aion UT marks its second battery electric vehicle (BEV) model in Australia, following the Aion V. The brand's expansion into the Australian market reflects the growing demand for affordable electric vehicles and provides consumers with more choices in the sub-$35,000 price bracket.

For those interested in securing the special drive-away pricing, it's advisable to act promptly, as the offer is limited to the first 600 customers. This initiative by GAC underscores the increasing accessibility of electric vehicles in Australia, catering to a broader audience seeking sustainable and cost-effective transportation solutions.
