As the Philippines accelerates toward an electrified future, car buyers are looking for vehicles that deliver real-world practicality, proven safety, and everyday convenience without compromising on style or urban drivability. Following the successful rollouts of its premium family movers, GAC Philippines is steering its electric vehicle movement into a chic new direction with the all-new GAC AION UT. Arriving on Philippine shores after massive success in major global automotive markets like Thailand, Europe, and Latin America, this EV compact hatchback offers eco-conscious urbanites a perfect blend of runway-ready Milanese style, advanced technology, and class-leading practical utility.
While categorized as a compact hatchback, the GAC AION UT completely defies its exterior dimensions by providing an open, lounge-like cabin environment. Engineered around a dedicated EV platform, it features a class-leading wheelbase that delivers generous rear legroom outpacing direct segment competitors. This design ensures three adults can ride comfortably in the back without rubbing knees, delivering the interior space of a much larger vehicle while remaining remarkably easy to park and navigate through tight city streets.
Beyond interior space, the cabin offers ultimate urban utility tailored for fast-paced daily routines. It features a flexible boot space that expands significantly when the rear seats are folded flat to accommodate groceries, luggage, or sports gear. Adding to its versatility, the vehicle supports Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability, transforming the car into a mobile power bank to run electronic devices during outdoor trips, tailgates, or weekend getaways.
Safety and driver confidence serve as central pillars of the overall package. Tailored for both novice drivers and daily commuters navigating tight city routes, the GAC AION UT features an advanced suite of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Drivers can navigate gridlock with ease using Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Warning, and a 360-degree Surround View Camera System. Highlighting its safety foundations are large V-shape side curtain airbags and an intelligent Reverse Mis-Acceleration Mitigation system.
Stepping inside the cockpit reveals a seamless, tech-forward cabin experience centered around dual digital displays. The driver is greeted by an LCD instrument cluster alongside a highly intuitive Touch Control Central Screen that manages infotainment and vehicle settings. With full support for wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, urban professionals remain effortlessly plugged into their digital lives while on the move.
Delivering agile performance on the road, the GAC AION UT Elite variant pairs premium sustainable mobility with a highly efficient Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor. Built with a high-strength steel body structure and GAC’s ultra-safe Magazine Battery 2.0 technology, its reliable Lithium Iron Phosphate battery delivers impressive range on a full charge. When topping up is required, its DC fast-charging capability rapidly replenishes power to get drivers back on the road quickly.
The all-new GAC AION UT is available in a vibrant, gemstone-inspired palette of exterior colors, including Champs-Elysees Beige, Emerald Green, Rococo White, Seine Silver, and a two-tone combination of Rococo White and Emerald Green. The AION UT Elite carries a competitive suggested retail price, with special introductory dealer pricing available for early buyers. Customers can view, test drive, and reserve the unit at any GAC dealership nationwide.
GAC Philippines backs every unit with a zero-anxiety ownership experience across its growing nationwide network of dealerships and aftersales facilities. All EV models come supported by long-term vehicle warranties, extended coverage for core EV components, and complimentary roadside assistance.
