The 2026 new energy elimination race has already reached a white-hot stage. In the first half of the year, passenger vehicle retail sales fell by 20%, more than 20 new energy vehicle companies exited the market, and 850,000 car owners are holding "orphan EVs," stuck in a predicament of invalid warranties, discontinued parts supply, and stalled intelligent functions. Nowadays, when ordinary people buy a car, they no longer only look at range, price, and features. Whether the brand can survive industry cycles, operate stably for ten years, and provide lifetime after-sales support is the core concern hidden in everyone's mind.
In the off-season month of July, the overall auto market was under pressure, yet one brand delivered a countertrend result: Hyptec AION's July terminal sales reached 34,987 units, up 31.74% year-on-year and up 3.87% month-on-month, maintaining double-digit year-on-year growth for 5 consecutive months. More importantly, the brand has completely completed a rewrite of its growth logic. In the first half of 2026, the proportion of private C-end users directly climbed to 81%. The once-rigid "ride-hailing label" has long been torn apart by the real orders of tens of millions of families and young car owners.
The underlying growth logic has been restructured, with C-end becoming the growth foundation
Many people still have fixed old impressions of AION, but a set of authoritative data directly breaks the stereotypical bias: today, the total sales of early operating mainstay models such as AION S and AION Y in June were less than 3,000 units, while the brand's total sales did not fall but rose instead, with growth coming entirely from private household and young individual users. The root of this transformation is the comprehensive reform of the Hyptec AION BU system, the renewal of the dual brands, and the implementation of the full-process IPD/IPMS management system, connecting the entire chain of R&D, production, sales, and service.
Two blockbuster models provide solid proof of recognition in the private market:
✅AION i60 | A family-oriented cultivated blockbuster A-class new energy SUV benchmark, with monthly sales steadily exceeding 10,000 units, and users aged 26-35 accounting for 42%. It continuously iterates in response to the real needs of multiple children, long-distance travel, and commuting in China. Equipped with exclusive 200,000-yuan-class range-extender technology, large space, low energy consumption, and high safety, it has become the preferred family car for countless young Chinese families.
✅AION N60 | A benchmark for popularizing intelligent driving in the 100,000-150,000 yuan range. It is rare in the industry to directly bring L4 same-origin lidar intelligent driving down to the 100,000-150,000 yuan price range, with standard WeRide Robotaxi same-origin algorithms, and perception capabilities in rain, fog, nighttime, and narrow urban roads far exceeding pure vision models at the same price. Young users aged 25-35 account for 79.8%, directly taking the sales crown in its segment.
To put it bluntly here: a truly national good car that can continue to sell well never relies on low-price dumping, but stands completely in the user's perspective, turning the rigid needs of family mobility and young people's intelligent travel into every single configuration. Behind the countertrend rise: AION's growth secret has completely shifted to C-end private users!
Entering its tenth year, surviving the industry's great waves, and giving car owners the confidence for long-term vehicle use
In 2018, there were as many as more than 480 domestic new energy vehicle manufacturers. After ten years of waves washing away the sand, very few independent brands can smoothly reach their tenth year and maintain positive growth. On July 28, AION officially entered its tenth year, having earned the trust of 2 million car owners cumulatively. Standing at a new starting point, it launched the all-new Ray vehicle series, with the first model Ray7 unveiled simultaneously, positioned as "young people's first super pure electric car."
Ray means "light," targeting the core consumer group of today's new energy market — young people — completing the brand's youthful sedan matrix, opening a second growth curve, escaping the involution of the existing household stock market, and seizing incremental young consumer demand. As the opening work of the all-new vehicle series, Ray7 focuses on four core advantages: ultra-high-appearance design, exclusive super chassis, self-developed super three-electric system, and full-stack self-developed super intelligence. It is not an "appearance facelift with reduced features" car, but satisfies young people's dual needs for performance, intelligence, and personalized emotional value from the underlying technology.
Many consumers worry: niche new forces shine for two or three years and then stop production, and lifetime warranties and intelligent OTA all become empty talk. But AION is backed by GAC's complete state-owned enterprise industrial chain, possesses the world's first new energy lighthouse factory, a hundred-billion-level self-developed supply chain, and a complete self-developed three-electric system. Nearly ten years of stable operation is visible assurance. Short-term sales explosions are easy; surviving a complete industry cycle is difficult. AION has experienced multiple rounds of industry storms including subsidy reductions, soaring raw material prices, and continuous price wars, yet still maintains consecutive months of positive year-on-year growth. This long-termism is the reassurance for all car owners.
Rejecting the youth-oriented feature-cut trap, full-stack self-development achieves inclusive technology
There is a common problem in the industry now: when brands make low-priced young models, the first thing they do is cut lidar, advanced intelligent driving, and high-spec three-electric core configurations, falling into the vicious cycle of "youth-oriented = reduced features and low price." Hyptec AION uses ten years of self-development accumulation to break this strange cycle, and it is also a core competitiveness difficult for the industry to replicate:
✅Full-chain self-development barriers: self-built Yinpai battery factory, self-developed magazine safety battery, Quark high-efficiency electric drive, GEP exclusive pure electric platform, and independent implementation of L2 to L4 full-tier intelligent driving technology;
✅Scale cost advantage: the mass production scale of 2 million users continuously dilutes R&D and manufacturing costs, without needing to compress pricing by cutting configurations;
✅Technology deployment without discrimination: 300,000-yuan-class high-end lidar intelligent driving and long-range three-electric systems are fully deployed to the mainstream 100,000-200,000 yuan price range, so entry-level models can also enjoy top-tier technology.
Hyptec and AION have a clear division of labor between the two brands, with the same original aspiration on two tracks: Hyptec focuses on "Living Empowered," deeply cultivating high-end quality mobility; AION upholds "Easy Life," creating national good cars that everyone can afford. Regardless of price level, high-end technology is not locked to top trims. Inclusiveness is the true meaning of technology.
Backed by the reputation of 2 million car owners, hardcore service eliminates all vehicle-use concerns
After ten years of accumulation, nearly 2 million real car owners have built solid quality reputation: a large number of owners have driven hundreds of thousands or even millions of kilometers without major repairs, and after years of use, battery health still remains above 80%. Not only are the products reliable, but industry-benchmark service commitments are all transparently implemented:
✅ Lifetime warranty for the three-electric system across all models;
✅ Industry-first "three responsibilities" backing policy: official compensation for three-electric spontaneous combustion, excessive battery degradation, and intelligent parking accidents;
✅ Exclusive extra commitment for AION i60: compensation of three times for fire damage warranty promise, with public rules and no hidden tricks.
The all-domain user operations system is implemented simultaneously: user carnival nights, Smart Travel China national tour, AED Guardian Public Welfare Alliance, cross-border sports event collaborations, and the "Yuexiang Recommender" partner program, fully connecting owner services across the entire cycle from buying a car and using a car to community life, truly achieving mutual empathy between the brand and users.
Nine years of accumulation, ten years toward the new. In this cruel new energy elimination race, only brands that can survive, continue to grow, and adhere to long-termism are worthy of consumers' confident trust. Hyptec AION relied on BU reform to complete its C-end transformation, used the two blockbusters i60 and N60 to secure a firm footing in the household and young segment tracks, launched the all-new Ray vehicle series upon entering its tenth year to open the young incremental market, achieved inclusive technology through full-stack self-development, and provided long-term vehicle-use protection backed by the complete industrial chain of a state-owned enterprise. Tearing off fixed labels, taking user needs as the core, and steadily rising through cycles — this is the entire value behind the 31.74% countertrend growth in the off-season month of July.
