Most friends who are considering buying a car have been manipulated by the "precision tactics" of car configurations. The stripped-down base version that lowers the starting price is not appealing, but as soon as you want some mainstream smart driving and comfort features, the budget is forced to rise accordingly. Want to make the choice simpler? The AION N60, which opened presales on April 16, is a brave "anti-tactics warrior," offering a directly fully equipped standard setup. The presale prices of the three versions are 115,800, 125,800, and 135,800 yuan respectively, with corresponding driving ranges of 410 km, 510 km, and 610 km. Users only need to think about driving range, which is an excellent interpretation of its brand philosophy of "Smart Joyful Life, Easy Life."
Watching the AION N60 presale launch event, it is easy to be moved by its sincerity. First of all, LiDAR-assisted driving is standard across the entire lineup, which is almost the "first tactic" of new energy automakers. The extremely strong difference in perceived usability makes users decide without hesitation. AION N60 takes high-level smart driving out of expensive option packages and turns it into national smart driving available to everyone. It has deeply partnered with WeRide to create the ADiGO GSD3.0 high-level intelligent driving assistance system. Relying on GAC's massive real-world scenario data and simulation verification system, the 200TOPS Qualcomm Snapdragon SA8650 chip is enough to deliver smart driving performance surpassing 2,000TOPS of computing power. This means that even though it is a model under 150,000 yuan, the AION N60's smart driving performance has far surpassed merely "being able to drive" and instead is "daring to drive, easy to drive, and drives like a human," with the proficiency, global anticipation, and decision-making of an experienced driver.
In addition, the only standard luxury combination in its class of "LiDAR + 4D millimeter-wave radar" gives novice drivers stronger confidence, whether identifying low objects in the dark or anticipating dynamic risks. Especially when encountering pedestrians suddenly darting out,逆行 electric bikes, or illegally parked vehicles blocking the road, it allows for more effortless operation. Coupled with full-scenario parking that can slot in with one attempt, the AION N60 is a new car especially friendly to young people.
Facing a young demographic that cares about looks and style, the AION N60 also has its own response. The new car was personally led by former BMW i3/i8 designer Benoit Jacob. Simple lines and a floating roof outline a dynamic posture, and the front face's "quantum star ring light" is especially eye-catching, with a glowing logo delivering extremely high recognizability. The official lineup offers 7 colors including Star Ring Silver, Sky Blue, Soft Gold, and Cloud Gray. Users can also DIY contrasting color creations, adapting to different styles and unlocking N kinds of lifestyles.
The AION N60's cabin is equally impressive in both appearance and quality. A 1.2-meter interior height and a 2.7-meter wheelbase count as segment-leading performance among compact SUVs. The front seats come standard with heating, ventilation, memory, massage, and multi-way power adjustment, while the passenger seat is a standard 120° zero-gravity seat. Worth mentioning is the rear position: not only is there a 410 mm ultra-low threshold, but the door opening angle is close to 90°, making it convenient for elderly people, children, and even pets to get in and out. After the rear seats are folded down, the trunk volume can expand to 1,947 L, allowing a bicycle to fit without folding. There is even hidden space under the floor, so equipment for all kinds of scenarios can all be placed inside.
Inside the AION N60 there are also many thoughtful design details, such as a glovebox that can hold a 15-inch laptop, door umbrella slots with drainage channels, and magnetic mounting points on the roof that hold a sunglasses case. It is worth mentioning that the AION N60 also comes standard across the lineup with luxury-car-level five-link independent suspension + flexible hydraulic bushings, combined with tuning by a supercar team and a Comfort Stop System, for linear braking and a ride that does not make passengers carsick.
In the key three-electric system, the AION N60 even hardcorely uses the world's top-tier amorphous alloy electric drive, which is relatively common in the aviation and military fields, but this is the first time it has been installed in a model under 150,000 yuan. The practical benefits this brings to the N60 are lower electricity consumption, higher efficiency, and less electrical loss: 1 kWh can go 1 km farther, the 610 km range is more freeing, and at the same time it generates less heat and is more durable, does not degrade during continuous high-speed driving, and has a longer lifespan. As for the battery, it is the market-tested Magazine Battery 2.0, with over 1.3 million units installed and verified by more than 110 billion kilometers with zero spontaneous combustion. The official promise is even "burn one, compensate three" and a "three responsibilities" commitment: for three-electric spontaneous combustion, abnormal battery degradation, and accidents caused by intelligent parking, AION takes full responsibility, without haggling or shifting blame.
It is often said that compact SUVs under 150,000 yuan are a battleground where every brand keeps producing new killer features, but the AION N60's "anti-tactics" approach this time is truly eye-catching, from the standard ADiGO GSD3.0 high-level smart driving across the entire lineup to the world's top-tier three-electric system, as well as an uncompromising safety bottom line, 18 active safety configurations, and Sentry Mode, once again raising the value standard. There are too many "first car for young people" in the market, but the AION N60 truly makes it easy for young people to choose and directly democratizes high-level smart driving, which also makes us look forward even more to the day it goes on sale.
