July 28, 2026, Aion July 28, 2026, GAC Aion enters its tenth year, has cumulatively gained 2 million users, and releases the all-new Ray vehicle series, with the first model of the series, Ray 7, making its debut.

Standing at the crossroads of the brand's tenth anniversary, on one side is a new starting point of having cumulatively gained 2 million users, and on the other side is the main force in new energy vehicle consumption—the young user group.

Sales speak for themselves, with C-end users accounting for 81%.

July is the traditional off-season for the auto market, and many companies are under sales pressure. Hyper Aion BU terminal sales reached 34,987 units, a year-on-year increase of 31.74%, and achieved five consecutive months of double-digit year-on-year growth.

One noteworthy figure is that in the first half of 2026, the brand's C-end users accounted for 81%. Among them, users aged 26-35 accounted for 42% of Aion i60; the young group aged 25-35 accounted for 79.8% of Aion N60.

In the new energy track, very few brands can develop steadily for many years, and Aion, with long-termism, has not only become a participant in the industry, but also a leader. Through a series of full-chain renewal actions such as BU-based organizational structure reform, dual-brand revitalization, the IPD system, and the IPMS full-process management system, it has given the brand the underlying logic of growth momentum and truly achieved healthy growth led by C-end users.

In making new energy vehicles, core technology is the source of power.

As one of the first new energy brands, Aion determined from its founding in 2017 that EV+ICV technology must be fully self-developed across the stack. Since then, it has taken the lead in building the world's first new energy vehicle lighthouse factory, and in the three-electric field has pioneered hardcore technologies such as a dedicated pure electric platform, magazine battery, and Quark electric drive; in the field of intelligent driving assistance, it has completed coverage of L2-L4 level technologies.

On the tenth anniversary of the Aion brand, traversing the cycle of the automotive industry, under major backgrounds such as the decline in subsidies, the surge in battery costs, the chip and algorithm battle, and the price melee, Aion has been able to maintain its technical foundation and brand strategy focus at every stage, standing out in round after round of industry elimination contests.

Over the past nine years, GAC Aion has traversed the automotive industry cycle, and under major backgrounds such as the decline in subsidies, the surge in battery costs, the chip and algorithm battle, and the price melee, it has been able to maintain its technical foundation and brand strategy focus, standing out in round after round of industry elimination contests.

First, look at the hot-selling blockbuster—Aion i60, positioned as a "good car for the people," pursuing technology inclusiveness. It brings down GAC's Xingyuan range-extender technology, previously exclusive to the 200,000-yuan class, achieving sales of over 10,000 units and rising to second place on the A-segment SUV sales chart.

Next, look at the high-spec hit Aion N60. Priced in the 100,000-yuan class, it still manages to make lidar standard across the entire lineup and also provides an intelligent driving assistance system with the same algorithm as WeRide's L4-level Robotaxi. Now, if you want to choose a pure electric SUV with a budget between 100,000 and 150,000 yuan and also want lidar, you absolutely cannot avoid it; it directly leads the segment. Moreover, young users account for nearly 80% of N60. When it comes to brand rejuvenation, no one can compete with it.

Even more noteworthy are the lifetime warranty for the three electric components and the pioneering "three responsibilities." These sincerely offered after-sales service policies are the greatest support and commitment to users.

EV Circle Observation:

Ray is light, a free, vibrant, and young attitude toward life, and also a new masterpiece that lights up the brand. Standing at a new starting point in its tenth year, GAC Aion sets off with the all-new Ray vehicle series aimed at young people, entering the pure electric coupe track, building cars that better understand young people, and also completing the brand's product matrix.

Hyper Aion, with a youth-oriented offensive, fights for victory in the second half of new energy.
