NEW EV BENCHMARK: THE GAC AION UT BRINGS BIG CAR ENERGY TO THE PHILIPPINES THIS MAY 2026

GAC International Philippines is set to energize the local electric vehicle market with the arrival of the all-new GAC AION UT this May 2026. Designed as a stylish and practical battery-electric hatchback, the AION UT combines youthful character, smart technology, and an unexpectedly spacious cabin into a compact yet versatile package. Tailored for trend-conscious Filipino motorists, the newest addition to GAC’s growing EV lineup aims to redefine expectations in the hatchback segment by delivering what the brand describes as “big car energy” in an urban-friendly footprint.

Inspired by European art and fashion, the AION UT adopts GAC’s distinctive “Milanese Aesthetics” design philosophy, giving the vehicle a playful yet sophisticated identity. Signature “winky-eye” headlights, smooth body lines, and a carefully curated color palette help the EV stand out in both city streets and lifestyle destinations. Already gaining strong attention in markets such as Australia, Thailand, Europe, and Latin America, the AION UT is rapidly becoming one of GAC’s most talked-about global electric vehicles thanks to its blend of design, practicality, and smart functionality.

Despite its compact exterior dimensions, the five-seater AION UT offers an airy and flexible cabin experience typically associated with larger vehicles. Built around a class-leading 2,750mm wheelbase, the hatchback maximizes interior space for passengers and cargo alike. Flat-folding rear seats and a versatile luggage area enhance its adaptability for everyday errands, weekend road trips, sports equipment, and urban lifestyles. Complementing its practicality is GAC’s advanced “Magazine Battery” technology, a high-strength steel body structure, and fast-charging capability that can charge the battery from 30% to 80% in approximately 24 minutes.

The AION UT will be offered locally in Champs-Elysees Beige, Emerald Green, Rococo White, Seine Silver, and a two-tone Rococo White with Emerald Green finish. Customers may now visit GAC dealerships nationwide to inquire and place pre-reservations ahead of the vehicle’s official launch. Backed by GAC Philippines’ nationwide dealership network, dedicated parts warehouse, and comprehensive aftersales support, the AION UT also benefits from an 8-year or 160,000-kilometer EV warranty, plus an 8-year or 200,000-kilometer warranty for its core electric systems, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to delivering a worry-free EV ownership experience for Filipino drivers.
