For under 120,000 yuan, the Aion RT achieved sales of 11,811 units in its first month on the market. It features hidden door handles, offers two range versions of 520 kilometers and 650 kilometers, supports a 400V high-voltage fast-charging platform, and has a range achievement rate of over 95%. Let's take a closer look together.
The Aion RT adopts the family's latest design style, with an overall rounded and smooth shape, and is called the "Big-Eye Little Pamela." The front-end design is inspired by the eyes of a velociraptor, using a three-dimensional, rounded headlight design that, combined with the daytime running lights, appears lively and elegant. This design not only enhances the vehicle's visual impact but also improves its recognizability.
The body proportions are well balanced, and the fastback shape is smooth and elegant. The roofline extends from the front to the rear, forming a natural water-drop form, further reducing the drag coefficient to 0.208Cd and improving driving efficiency. In addition, the side body design uses hidden door handles and black cladding, further simplifying the body lines and making the whole vehicle clean and generous.
The rear adopts a through-type taillight design. The taillights are narrow, long, and flat, enhancing nighttime recognizability and echoing the front-end design.
The Aion RT also offers a variety of body color choices, including fashionable tones such as Moonlight Purple, Sea Firefly Gray, and Electric Blue.
The interior is equipped with a floating central control screen and a LCD instrument panel, measuring 14.6 inches and 8.8 inches respectively, and supports four-zone interaction. The central control screen is equipped with the ADiGo 5.0 intelligent cockpit system, supporting online connectivity, online navigation, voice recognition, continuous dialogue, and mobile phone connectivity. It has a variety of built-in third-party APP applications, such as popular apps like Kuaishou and Xiaohongshu, and can even run 3A games, meeting the needs of different users. It supports multiple languages and personalized scene switching, adapting to the usage habits of global users. It is worth mentioning that high-frequency contact areas, including the center armrest, instrument panel, and four door trim panels, are all wrapped in 100% soft leather, avoiding a plastic feel and cheapness.
The Aion RT also performs outstandingly in interior space design. Rear legroom exceeds 940 millimeters. Taking my height of 1.75 meters as an example, there is about one fist and one finger of headroom left in the front row, making the space spacious. The seats use butterfly-style wraparound seats, with relatively strong support and wrapping. At the same time, the seats are also filled with dual-layer high-density foam. The seat height reaches 320mm, and the hip angle is close to 95°, greatly improving comfort.
The trunk volume reaches 540 liters, with a large opening and a low threshold, making it convenient to load and retrieve luggage. The trunk can hold 6 20-inch suitcases and 2 24-inch suitcases.
The Aion RT is equipped with a 126-line lidar and an NVIDIA Orin-X chip, with computing power as high as 254TOPS, supporting map-free advanced intelligent driving functions. The vehicle can achieve autonomous driving assistance functions in complex urban environments, such as automatic car-following and lane changing. At the same time, this model also supports an intelligent driving mode with "no high-precision map," with a scene coverage rate of 99%, which means safe driving can be achieved even without a high-precision map.
The Aion RT's range performance is excellent, with a maximum pure electric range of 650 kilometers, and in actual tests, the range achievement rate reached 98%. The main reason the Aion RT can achieve such a high range achievement rate is technical support from the following aspects:
Silicon carbide chip: The Aion RT adopts silicon carbide technology, improving electronic control efficiency to 99.85%, resulting in power consumption of only 11.7kWh per 100 kilometers. This high-efficiency electronic control system reduces energy loss, thereby improving range capability.
Battery management system: The Aion RT is equipped with an advanced battery management system, optimizing the thermal management, energy recovery, and intelligent charging strategy of the battery pack, ensuring the stability and safety of the battery in various environments.
Lightweight design and aerodynamic optimization: By reducing vehicle weight and optimizing aerodynamic design, the Aion RT reduces wind resistance and energy consumption during driving, further improving range.
Intelligent charging technology: The Aion RT supports 3C fast-charging technology, taking only 18 minutes to charge from 30% to 80%, greatly shortening charging time and improving user convenience.
Overall, the Aion RT stands out among models in the same class, with a range achievement rate of over 95%, support for a 400V fast-charging platform, a long range of 650km, and a guide price range of 119,800-165,800 yuan.
