With a budget of over 100,000 yuan, if you want to buy a model that combines aesthetics and practicality, there are quite a few options on the market. If you add advanced intelligent driving capabilities and long range, that brings AION RT to mind. AION RT is equipped with lidar, has a range of 650 km, and in actual tests by many media outlets, its range achievement rate has exceeded 95%, with even one media outlet's test result exceeding 100%. An extremely high range achievement rate not only brings longer range, but also makes travel less anxiety-inducing.
For a sedan costing just over 100,000 yuan, users tend to focus on aspects such as space, range, and intelligence, and the interior and exterior design should be grand and stylish, with sufficient recognizability and a good sense of class. AION RT fully satisfies consumers' above-mentioned needs in all respects, becoming "a high-level intelligent driving sedan that emphasizes both appearance and intelligence."
We saw AION RT's strength during its presale: 20 hours after presale opened, order volume exceeded 16,000 units. At its official launch, consumers "overwhelmed" the APP, and sales in its launch month reached 11,811 units, making it the first pure electric sedan to exceed 10,000 units in its launch month. Sales in the following month exceeded 16,000 units. Excellent sales figures demonstrate consumers' recognition of this car. So how is the vehicle's quality? Let's continue reading.
AION RT offers four models with different configurations, with a price range of 119,800 to 165,800 yuan, and comes with a series of car purchase benefits. Consumers only need to spend about 120,000 yuan to enjoy the spaciousness of a B-segment car; 130,000 yuan gets them the longest range in the same class; and 150,000 yuan lets them experience the ultimate fun of lidar advanced intelligent driving. This differentiated product strategy enables AION RT to cover a broader consumer group, thereby winning more market orders.
Considering the national subsidy policy, the actual cost of buying a car will drop further. The entry-level version can be had for 100,000 yuan, while the lidar version is only 130,000 yuan. If your region has not yet introduced national subsidies before April 30, AION also provides a "fallback" policy, offering subsidies according to 2024 local standards, allowing consumers to buy with peace of mind. In addition, purchasing a car also includes a 3,000 yuan insurance subsidy, which is equivalent to a cash subsidy, genuinely reducing the cost of buying a car.
In terms of exterior design, the blacked-out door frames of AION RT are cleverly combined with hidden door handles, making the overall body lines smoother and giving rise to a sense of technology. At the same time, AION RT also adopts a unique progressive golden ratio design, showing an elegant roof arc and captivating light-and-shadow aesthetics, highlighting its unique fashionable charm. In addition, while others use "squinting" headlight styling, AION RT's "Rapid Dragon Eye" shape is three-dimensional and rounded, more in line with public aesthetics. In terms of body structure, AION RT has "dragon head and swallow tail" body character lines, and the roof only drops noticeably at the C-pillar, satisfying a low drag coefficient of 0.208Cd while also safeguarding rear headroom. In terms of color schemes, AION RT's Moonlight Beige, Corona Red, and Polar White three colors have an extra layer of sparkling base paint compared with the same class; Crystal Purple, Sea Glow Gray, and Night Shadow Black add the same "silver dollar aluminum powder" as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
In terms of interior, AION RT offers a variety of interior color schemes such as beige and black two-tone, brown and black two-tone, and pure black, meeting consumers' demand for personalized customization. High-frequency contact areas such as the center console armrest, instrument panel, and four-door trim panels are all wrapped in high-quality soft leather, with a delicate and comfortable touch. The standard 14.6-inch central control screen and 8.88-inch LCD instrument panel across the entire lineup further enhance the technological atmosphere and driving experience inside the car. The layered front passenger instrument panel satisfies users' needs for applying makeup in the car, with various cosmetics easily placed, and both vanity mirrors are equipped with fill lights, showing very thoughtful attention to detail.
AION RT's length, width, and height are 4,865 mm, 1,875 mm, and 1,520 mm respectively, and its wheelbase reaches 2,775 mm, providing passengers with spacious seating room. According to official data, rear headroom reaches 940 mm, legroom reaches 943 mm, seat height is 320 mm, and hip angle is close to 95°. Such space performance can be called outstanding among competitors in the same class. In terms of seat structure, both front and rear seats use imitation leather covering layers, with double-layer high-density foam filling inside, providing excellent support and wrapping. In terms of functions, in addition to basic electric multi-directional adjustment, the front seats also support heating and ventilation, improving ride comfort.
AION RT's performance in range is also commendable. Its maximum range can reach 650 kilometers, a figure that refreshes the range record for A+ segment family sedans, allowing users who dare not buy pure electric vehicles due to range concerns to feel more at ease. In addition, the vehicle is also equipped with a 400V silicon carbide platform + 3C fast charging technology, achieving an efficient charging rate of 1 kilometer of range in 3 seconds. Charging from 30% to 80% takes only 18 minutes, while most models in the same class need 25 minutes to complete this charging process. AION RT's fast recharging experience alleviates users' range anxiety and also saves charging time, so long-distance travel does not waste a lot of time in the charging process.
In terms of intelligent connectivity, AION RT is equipped with the ADiGO 5.0 system. The ADiGO SENSE cloud large model responds in only 0.28 seconds. In addition to common functions such as continuous dialogue and visible-and-speakable control, it also supports fuzzy instructions. The voice assistant can determine through dialogue whether the user needs to use navigation, air conditioning, and other functions. In addition, powerful hardware configuration can satisfy users in playing various mobile games, even 3A games, on the large screen. And the 5.1-channel system composed of 11 high-fidelity speakers also meets users' demand for immersive hearing.
In terms of intelligent driving, AION RT is equipped with advanced lidar technology, significantly improving its intelligent driving capability in various complex scenarios. Whether it is narrow rural roads, complex urban village roads, or urban NDA scenarios involving straight-line U-turns, AION RT can handle them with ease. Its lidar advanced intelligent driving system also has the capability of "map-free global access," enabling smooth transitions in intelligent driving even without the support of high-precision maps. Whether on urban roads or highways, it can realize navigation-assisted driving. This end-to-end assisted driving capability makes driving travel safer.
In summary, the reason AION RT can achieve excellent sales results and a good user reputation is due to the vehicle's class-leading performance in quality, performance, and configuration, allowing users to buy a high-level intelligent driving model equipped with lidar for 130,000 yuan, while also having advantages such as high appearance, large space, long range, and fast charging technology, as well as a range achievement rate exceeding 95%. This makes AION RT's cost-performance far exceed competing models, enough to become young people's first car. A high range achievement rate not only means longer actual range, but also lets us have more precise control over remaining range when traveling, and also makes driving travel more confident. There is no need to worry about range suddenly dropping sharply. If the displayed range can reach the destination, then it can. This allows users to enjoy the happiness of travel with peace of mind and drive the vehicle with confidence. At the same time, this also makes up for the shortcomings of electric vehicles in range and recharging, allowing consumers to choose the pure electric AION RT without concerns.
