GAC Aion AION S is a compact car that has been recognized by consumers, and for a long time, it has achieved monthly sales of more than 20,000 units. As we all know, if you want to be loved by consumers, the vehicle must have excellent cost performance, and the previous GAC Aion AION S is indeed quite cost-effective. However, in October 2023, there will be several more 2024 models under the banner of this model, among which the version named GAC Aion AION S 2024 MAX 80 Xinghan Edition has been raised, and the guide price has been increased to 20290,000 yuan, is it still a cost-effective model?
As a new 2024 model, the appearance of the GAC Aion S 2024 MAX 80 Xinghan Edition is close to the old model as a whole, but its front light cluster is significantly different from the old model. Specifically, the light clusters of the new car have LED "light eyebrows", which look sharper than the old model. However, because the body lines have not changed much, the visual experience of the GAC Aion AION S 2024 MAX 80 Xinghan Edition to consumers is still close to the old model.
Aside from the exterior design, the GAC Aion AION S 2024 MAX 80 Xinghan Edition can still satisfy consumers in terms of space. The new car uses a body of 4863*1890*1515mm and a wheelbase of 2760mm, although the cockpit space is not particularly spacious, but there are a lot of storage slots inside the cockpit, which is very suitable for some small items. In addition, the trunk space of the new car is no different from the old model, which is still 453L, and it can also fold down the rear seats, allowing consumers to pull some bulky items.
From my personal point of view, the interior design of the GAC Aion S 2024 MAX 80 Xinghan Edition is not excellent. Why?It's not that it doesn't decorate the cockpit with soft materials, but because it features 14The 6-inch central control screen integrates most of the vehicle control functions into the central control system, which is inconvenient for blind operation. However, this model is decorated with imitation wood grain trim, which can make people feel a bit of prestige, which I am quite satisfied with.
In terms of configuration performance, GAC Aion S 2024 MAX 80 Xinghan Edition is worthy of consumer recognition, because this model is equipped with most of the mainstream active safety configurations on the market, but unfortunately, it is equipped with only four airbags, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in passive safety. But let's be honest, everyone doesn't want to have an accident on their own, so instead of carrying a bunch of passive safety configurations, why not prevent accidents?Therefore, the GAC Aion S 2024 MAX 80 Xinghan Edition is equipped with L2 level intelligent driving assistance configuration. However, let's not talk about the practicality of the intelligent driving assistance configuration, the passive safety configuration is actually the basis of consumer travel safety, so I don't really recognize the design of the GAC Aion AION S 2024 Max 80 Xinghan Edition.
As a pure electric model, there is no need to deliberately emphasize the power system of the GAC Aion AION S 2024 MAX 80 Xinghan Edition, which is equipped with a front-mounted motor with a maximum power of 180kW, and the power performance can be said to be reasonable. Compared with the power parameters, what makes consumers more excited about this model is its endurance, which is in the magazine battery (679kWh), this car can travel 610km in CLTC mode, and there is no need to worry about insufficient range when commuting in the city. Moreover, the GAC Aion AION S 2024 MAX 80 Xinghan Edition is also equipped with fast charging technology as standard.
During the test drive, I personally felt that the power response speed of the GAC Aion AION S 2024 MAX 80 Xinghan Edition was still good, the power pedal feedback was relatively clear, and the driver could have a certain degree of confidence in overtaking. However, I think the chassis tuning of this car is still a little not in place, because when passing through the speed bump, I obviously feel that the rear half of the body has a significant bounce, although the seat can slow down some bumps, but the rear seats of this car are not equipped with heating, massage and other functions, if you travel for a long time, the passenger experience in the rear row is definitely not very good.
On the whole, I think the strength of the GAC Aion AION S 2024 MAX 80 Xinghan Edition is still the best, and its performance in all aspects is also at the mainstream level of the same level. However, it is recommended that you think more about the feelings of rear passengers, if you often have people in the back row, then I do not recommend that you choose the top version of the GAC Aion AION S 2024 Max 80 Xinghan Edition, after all, its guide price is 20290,000 yuan, such a ** You can choose a model with better performance in the rear.
