The AION UT electric supermini will be priced at £28,950 when order books open in September.
Offering UK motorists a new benchmark in performance, quality, equipment and interior space, the UT will make its public debut at the British Motor Show in Farnborough from 21–23 August. It will appear alongside the AION V SUV, the brand’s first UK model launched earlier this year.
The classy AION UT, designed in Europe at the company’s styling house in Milan, brings B-segment supermini buyers the premium features, comfort and design flair typically found on larger cars, including a heated steering wheel, heated front seats, a 14.6” central touch screen and 360° surround-view camera.
Buyers can choose to enhance their UT with an optional high-value Premium Pack to add further higher-class features including a panoramic glass roof, powered tailgate, ventilated driver’s seat and wireless phone charging, for just £1,200.
A spacious cabin affords generous legroom and headroom for front and rear passengers, and 24 practical storage areas and a large 440-litre multi-layer boot offer exceptional versatility.
In terms of how it performs, the UT also has the jump on its rivals. Its 60kWh battery delivers the longest standard range in the segment, offering a class-leading 268 miles of electric driving. And, sprinting from 0-62 mph in just 7.3 seconds, it’s one of the perkiest superminis about town.
AION’s UK team has led an extensive tuning programme specific to the typical driving habits and preferences of UK motorists. The UT has bespoke modifications to the springs, dampers and bump-stops, as well as a revised anti-roll bar to give the UT its playful character. Its nimble and responsive agility is married to a supple, compliant ride that makes for comfortable, refined journeys.
The industry-leading AION Great 8 Promise provides an eight-year warranty, eight years’ servicing, eight years’ roadside assistance and MOT until the car is eight years old. This VIN-locked offering stays linked to the vehicle, ensuring that current and future AION owners benefit from the best aftersales package in the UK.
