GAC Aion Hyper GT set to conquer the global EV market

China's GAC Aion is ready to make a splash in the global EV market with the upcoming launch of the Aion Hyper GT "global model" on June 6th. This exciting new iteration of the Hyper GT electric sedan boasts an impressive 710 km range, cutting-edge 800V platform technology, and advanced driver assistance features.

The Hyper GT "global model" will be the first vehicle to showcase GAC's innovative Mapless Intelligent Driving technology, which has already undergone extensive testing in Milan, Bangkok, and Hong Kong. This suggests that the vehicle may launch simultaneously in China and overseas markets, which is a significant step in GAC's global expansion efforts.

GAC's ambitions for global expansion have been evident in recent moves, including recruiting former Tesla employees to bolster their charging network in the United States. However, the company faced a setback in April with a 31.45% year-on-year decline in sales, including a significant drop for the Hyper GT model.

Despite this, the "global model" launch suggests GAC Aion is determined to compete on the world stage. The company is betting on advanced technology, impressive range, and competitive pricing to attract EV buyers worldwide. We should expect the "710 km" range to drop significantly once the vehicle is given either a WLTP or EPA rating. As for the price outside of China - it will be more in line with local markets.
