Fantastic EV which offers more value than many competitors despite the lower pri... `

Premium version has a few improvements over the Standard version, here are the ones that matter. Electric adjustment for front passenger seat, ventilated driver seat, centre headrest for rear bench. If you can live without these, get the Standard version and save 10k. What I like: Nearly everything, I will mention some of them here. Aion app works well to show battery status, can also operate aircon or lock/unlock functions. Shows location of car. Screen is responsive and quite intuitive most of the time. Auto Hold when stopped. Large screens with good info. In built navigation works well. Gear stalk on right side of steering wheel. Comfortably soft head rest. Ventilated driver seat! Wireless charging pad for phone. Smooth acceleration and braking, feels very natural. No engine noise or vibration during idling or driving. Powerful acceleration available when moving off, and even at highway speeds. All 4 door handles pop out automatically when the car key is nearby, can enter from any door. No need start/stop button, can just drive off once in gear. Auto lock when walking away from car. Radical appearance, easy to find car in carpark. Super spacious rear with enormous leg room and completely flat floor. Rear aircon! Large windows provide good visibility and lots of natural light. 360 camera views are useful when trying to position the car neatly in the parking lot. Realistic range seems to be 400 km, which is good. What I dislike: Stock tire can be better, not Chao Yang branded. Limited tire choices with the 18 inch rims on the Premium. Tire size is 215/50 R18 which is not common. Side mirror adjustment is done through the screen which takes a few more steps. Turning radius slightly larger than Nissan Qashqai. What is lacking (not dislike): Blind spot monitor Steering wheel reach adjustment (now can only adjust higher or lower) Better floor mats (stock ones are like plastic trays that you find in taxis for easy cleanup) Memory function for driver seat and side mirror settings. Apple Carplay is wired.

A fresh perspective from the usual SUV EV `

The traditional mainstay in this segment, B class and 2 series may have better branding but the uniqueness of this car should give people a reason to consider. First, the exterior may divide people into wondering if it should be a SUV or MPV. To me it doesn't matter when I entered the car. Nothing shouts cheap even though there are some hard plastic lying around. To me, I'd prefer fabrics for the seats like Citroen than leather to add in more character. The space is really humongous. I even thought that a double decker bed is possible inside this car. A secret wishlist would be probably to have more rear overhang to accommodate 2 more seats. Driving wise, it may be not that explosive moving off compared to it's EV peers but for city driving, it should be adequate. Handling has nothing to be mentioned for a vehicle with such a squarish proportion. Overall I hope that this vehicle will sell well because it deserves to and maybe a possibility to add 2 more seats in future versions?

The Family EV made by GAC with Honda-Toyota Know-how `

As Honda enthusiast since my first Honda in 1989, I have observed GAC as Honda's partner in China since 1997. The first model that they built was the 1997 Honda Accord and since then GAC Honda has always been a reference point whenever I wanted to see what Honda was doing with their version of the Civic, Accord, CR-V and Odyssey in China. I was very intrigued by the Y plus when I learn that Vincar was planning to launch the GAC AION model late last year. The slightly odd looking impression soon turned into admiration for what GAC Design is trying to convey in the design. With the big interior room, I was quickly reminded by the Honda design principle - "Man Maximum, Machine Minimum". For as long as I had a Honda, this is one aspect of Honda that I have always liked, from my 1997 Honda CR-V to the Honda Stream in 2008, priority has been given to the people space. The rear legroom was so impressive that my better half immediately sanctioned my interest to own the AION Y plus. Our kids are grown up but my mother needed help to get into the stationwagon that I am currently driving. The height of the rear bench also makes moving my mother into the Y plus from the wheelchair a much lesser effort compared to my current drive. The wheelchair fits nicely into the boot. I have tested a few other models before I decided to buy the Y plus. Needless to say, the competitive price was also one factor. The other winner is the power delivery. Compared to another EV that has a lot of motor torque (310Nm), the Y plus has just 225Nm that makes the drive and pickup just much smoother. Surprisingly, even though both are rated at 100kW, I felt that the AION Y plus accelerates quicker and more smoothly. At my age, the smoothness of the EV powertrain clinched the deal.

Test Drive `

Getting into the car, you can feel clean look and spaciousness. Some EV centre console is complicated with lots of buttons. As for the second row, it's too spacious, it's comfy for passages but kind of wasted space, it should have a sliding seat forwarding. The seating backrest has only 1 position, during driver brake for a stop, back passage might fall forward.. Although it's a rear torsion beam but it's comfy as feedback.
