GAC Aion and Hyptec sold 35,494 vehicles in September, up 21.91% year-on-year
Entering the traditional "Golden September and Silver October" car-buying peak season, this year's auto market presents a special pattern of "modest sequential recovery, with year-on-year pressure still lingering." Industry data predicts that the retail market size of narrow passenger vehicles in September will be about 1.69 million units, up 9.7% month-on-month, but affected by last year's high base of 2.241 million units, it will decline 24.6% year-on-year. The peak season is unlikely to see the explosive momentum of previous years. Under inventory competition, only automakers that have truly been tempered by the market and whose products continue to iterate can secure their own share of growth.
Just as the overall market faces pressure, new cars pile into the market, and industry involution intensifies, GAC Aion Hyptec's September report card once again stands out: terminal sales of 35,494 units, up 21.91% year-on-year, achieving positive growth against the trend for 7 consecutive months, once again confirming the systemic momentum released by the BU system reform. Rather than relying on short-term price-driven volume, it relies on value to penetrate the market. Supported by the multidimensional drivers of continuous evolution of major flagship products, successive new models, and incremental growth in overseas markets, it has carved out a stable upward growth curve in a car market where the sands are constantly being sifted.
Looking back at the September that just passed, multiple mainstay models continued to gain momentum. As a phenomenal "cultivated mega-hit," the Aion i60 reached a milestone: cumulative users exceeded 100,000 in less than a year on the market. In September, the 2027 model was officially refreshed and launched, putting "responsive upgrades" into practice, with orders exceeding 20,000 units. Based on real owner feedback, the new car completed multiple practical optimizations, such as moving the charging port to the rear and adding a new 66L front trunk for the front-drive version, implementing one by one the needs most loudly voiced by users. It also brings a comprehensive refresh of the "three major tech components," respectively equipped with two ace technologies: CATL batteries and Magazine Batteries; two black technologies: amorphous alloy electric drive and Huawei electric drive; and it further introduces L4-derived high-level intelligent driving, achieving a 200,000-yuan-class product experience at a 100,000-yuan-class price. Whether for daily commuting, picking up children, or weekend family road trips, large space, long range, and high safety are all maxed out. It is precisely this sincerity of continuous iteration that lets it stand firm as the preferred new energy SUV for Chinese families, breaking the "new car death valley" effect in which many new cars "burn brightly for a while and then fade."
The Aion N60, also one of the "60 Twin Stars," continues to shine on the national intelligent driving track. After winning both the preliminary and final championships at the Guiyang Intelligent Driving Competition, it once again took first place at the Shenyang stop, still breaking through against a field of 300,000-500,000-yuan-class high-end intelligent driving models. As young people's first national intelligent driving good car, it has already surpassed 20,000 users in less than 5 months on the market, and has won the 100,000-130,000-yuan lidar sales champion for 5 consecutive months, bringing lidar and L4-derived intelligent driving technology to the mainstream price range, so that young people do not have to spend a fortune to enjoy reliable and easy-to-use high-level intelligent driving.
The 2027 Aion RT, relying on GAC's self-developed amorphous alloy electric drive, set a Guinness record with an energy consumption result of 8.571kWh/100km. The core of this electric drive uses an amorphous alloy thin ribbon only 0.025mm thick. Jointly tackled by the Institute of Materials Science and Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Dongguan and GAC Group, it broke through mass-production manufacturing barriers and took the lead in achieving large-scale industrial application of the technology. The related manufacturing process has been included in the national Catalogue of Technologies Prohibited or Restricted from Export, and it won the only powertrain innovation technology award for global new energy vehicles in 2025. At present, this top-tier electric drive technology has also been rolled out simultaneously to mainstay models such as the Aion N60 and the 2027 i60, continuously fulfilling the original intention of technology for all.
Aimed at young groups who pursue driving control and love individual expression, the Ray series' first model, the Ray7, also made its interior debut and simultaneously opened its early-access plan. Users need only a 299-yuan intent deposit to lock in a full set of early-access benefits worth a total of 8,999 yuan. An RC Club (RayRacingClub) was also established to build an exclusive car-play circle for owners who love handling, and limited drift experience courses are being given away. With the support of four major highlights—super chassis, super three-electric system, super intelligence, and super high appearance—the Huawei DriveONE full-set drive-control integrated architecture, a pure rear-drive setup built with an aluminum hybrid front double-wishbone + rear five-link suspension, and WeRide's L4-derived intelligent driving are all in place. No trade-offs needed, all in one step. As soon as information about the Ray7 was released, it attracted a great deal of attention from young consumers, and in the future it will also become a new growth booster for the brand.
At the same time, the high-end market is also steadily expanding. As Hyptec's first sporty SUV, the Hyptec S600 is equipped with the only four-wheel-drive dual-chamber air suspension under 200,000 yuan, stable in corners and not bumpy over speed bumps. The Eagle Claw System 2.0 holds steady on slippery roads, and it can still climb long slopes even with low battery. Lidar is standard across the lineup, and the ADiGO GSD 3.0 intelligent driving assistance system better understands Chinese roads. With more than 140 standard features, high configuration and tough materials, it is a "fully loaded sporty SUV under 200,000 yuan." GAC Hyptec upholds the proposition of "intelligent enjoyment of life," accompanying the backbone of the era toward a higher-order life with taste, technology, and self-pleasing.
In addition to blossoming in multiple points across the domestic market, overseas markets have already become an important growth pole for GAC Aion Hyptec. Products continue to land in Singapore, Thailand, Colombia, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, with market rankings steadily among the top locally. Recently, in the Greek market, it took second place in the pure electric segment in July and third place in August. Products of Chinese intelligent manufacturing are continuously gaining recognition from overseas consumers, forming a growth pattern driven by both domestic and overseas markets.
Nowadays, the pace of new car launches is getting faster and faster, but some models' development cycles are getting shorter and shorter, and "quickly made cars" have sparked considerable discussion. For ordinary consumers, the biggest fear when choosing a car is not insufficient configuration, but unstable quality and a brand that does not last. At times like this, choosing a car that has been verified by time and has solid system capabilities is more important than chasing a temporary gimmick.
Behind GAC Aion Hyptec is GAC Group, backed by the state-owned enterprise system, with many after-sales outlets and stable parts supply; the core three-electric system is self-developed and self-produced, and it also jointly builds an ecosystem with technology giants; the reliability verified by 2 million users is indeed something ordinary automakers cannot match. In an era of great sifting, prioritizing reliable products tested by time and a large number of real users is the more rational approach to car buying.
The National Day holiday is here, and it is precisely a golden window for families to look at cars and trade in cars. GAC Aion Hyptec models are also ready with generous National Day car-purchase policies. Among them, GAC Aion has launched the car-purchase welfare campaign "Buy a good car on a good holiday, come to Aion for perfection," covering multiple models such as the i60, N60, RT, UT, and V Home, with up to tenfold benefits, including a trade-in subsidy of up to 8,000 yuan; for orders placed during the National Day Golden Week, there is also a lottery giveaway of ten thousand compulsory traffic insurance policies + shopping cards.
From October 1 to 7, GAC Hyptec launches the "National Day Buy Hyptec, Duo Benefits Draw Nonstop" full-line car-purchase welfare campaign, with a 100% winning rate, giving away large cash coupons for car purchases or iPhone Duo, and after multiple benefits are stacked, the comprehensive discount can reach up to 75,000 yuan. In addition, those who visit a store to test drive a GAC Aion Hyptec model in October can receive a "Good Things Come in Pairs" dried persimmon gift box, while supplies last.
Taking advantage of the strong sales momentum of Golden September and the added benefits of Silver October, this National Day holiday, it might be worth visiting an offline store to personally experience the product charm of GAC Aion Hyptec.
