With a budget of 150,000 to buy a car, how should you choose? There are still many popular models on the market, but if you want to choose a pure electric model, I will definitely recommend the Aion RT to everyone, because the Aion RT not only has the excellent qualities of an electric vehicle, but also has an extremely high range achievement rate, making up for the shortcomings of electric vehicles and becoming a pure electric model without range anxiety. In addition, the vehicle also achieves "technology equality," equipped with an advanced intelligent driving system featuring lidar, supporting mapless NDA, and standardly equipped with navigational assisted driving on urban roads and highways, with an intelligent level far exceeding that of models in the same class.
In terms of exterior design, the Aion RT, with its unique "Raptor Gaze" headlight design, successfully captured the hearts of young consumers and was given the nickname "Big-Eyed Little Pamei." The distinctive "Velociraptor" headlight design adds a sense of grandeur and dignity to the vehicle. The body proportions follow the golden ratio, creating a harmonious and moving beauty. The side lines are simple and smooth, and thanks to the application of G4 curvature design, the body is fuller and rounder. The roof design is equally ingenious, and the Y0-line shape reduces wind resistance while ensuring that rear passengers have ample headroom. In addition, the Aion RT also carefully considers wind resistance factors in its design, successfully achieving an ultra-low drag coefficient of 0.208Cd, demonstrating its dual accomplishments in design aesthetics and practical performance.
In terms of the interior, the AION RT offers a variety of interior color schemes, including beige-black two-tone, brown-black two-tone, and pure black, meeting consumers' needs for personalized customization. The two-spoke multifunction steering wheel is simple and elegant in design and integrates multiple convenient control functions, making the driver more adept during driving. The column-mounted gear shifter design not only makes the center console layout cleaner and more orderly, but also improves space utilization efficiency. High-frequency contact areas such as the center armrest, instrument panel, and four door trim panels are all wrapped in high-quality soft leather, with a delicate and comfortable feel. The layered front passenger instrument panel also meets users' needs for applying makeup in the car. Various cosmetics can be easily placed, and with the vanity mirror with fill light, makeup can be touched up anytime and anywhere, which is very thoughtful.
In creating an intelligent cockpit, the AION RT is equipped with a rich array of smart devices, including an 8.88-inch instrument panel, a 14.6-inch central control large screen, and the ADiGO 5.0 intelligent system. Through vehicle-machine interconnection, users can easily achieve seamless connection with smartphones, whether for calls, navigation, or other operations, all with ease. These intelligent configurations are not merely for showing off technology, but are truly integrated into every scenario of daily driving. For example, functions such as navigation, music playback, and intelligent voice assistant can all be completed through the large screen or voice commands, improving convenience and safety during driving. In addition, the central control large screen also supports running various mobile apps and AAA games, making leisure time during the journey richer and more colorful. The car is also equipped with a 5.1-channel audio system composed of 11 high-fidelity speakers, bringing users an immersive auditory experience.
In terms of intelligent driving, the AION RT integrates cutting-edge lidar technology and as many as 27 high-precision perception components, and is equipped with the high-performance NVIDIA Orin-X chip. The AION RT not only supports the advanced mapless NDA high-level intelligent driving solution, but can also handle complex road environments with ease, quickly identifying and avoiding various obstacles, thereby safeguarding driving safety in all directions. In terms of functional configuration, the AION RT is equipped with 7 active safety warning functions, an active braking system, lane keeping assist, lane centering control, panoramic view, memory parking, automatic parking, and other convenient functions, which not only relieve driver fatigue but also make every trip full of relaxation and pleasure.
In terms of space, the AION RT has a length of 4865mm and a wheelbase of 2775mm. Front-row headroom and legroom both exceed 1 meter, rear-row headroom reaches as much as 940mm, legroom reaches 943mm, seat height is 320mm, and hip angle is close to 95°. This space performance is outstanding among competitors in the same class. For example, with my height of 176cm and weight of 140 jin, sitting in the rear row, both headroom and legroom are very ample. The seat structure also conforms to ergonomic design, and the front and rear seats are filled with double-layer high-density foam, providing excellent support and wrap. In terms of functions, the front seats support electric adjustment, heating, and ventilation. Whether in winter or summer, the air conditioning can be turned on remotely through the app, so you can feel a comfortable environment as soon as you get in the car.
In terms of range, the AION RT is built on the AEP 3.0 pure electric platform and offers two range versions, 520km and 650km, equipped with 55.1kWh and 68.1kWh 2.0 magazine batteries, respectively. Power consumption per 100 kilometers is only 11.7kWh, ranking among the top in its class. The vehicle also has an ultra-low drag coefficient of 0.208Cd, further reducing energy consumption. At the same time, the vehicle is also equipped with 400V fast charging technology, with a fast charging time of only 18 minutes. This means that the 520-kilometer range version can add about 160 kilometers of range after charging for 10 minutes, while the 650-kilometer range version can add about 200 kilometers of range after charging for 10 minutes.
In addition, during actual range testing, the range achievement rate tested by many media outlets exceeded 98%, and some individual media even achieved actual test results exceeding 100%. Such a range achievement rate undoubtedly eliminates consumers' worries about range anxiety. We also conducted an urban range test on the vehicle. Starting from the store with 275km displayed on the instrument panel, the driving route included urban roads and national highways. When returning to the store, the total driving mileage was 76km, and the displayed range at that time was 201km. From the data, it seems there may even be a suspicion of reverse overstatement, which also proves that the Aion RT's range is highly realistic. Driving out is also relatively reassuring.
The Aion RT has also introduced a fallback policy. If you buy a car in January, but your region has not introduced a national subsidy even by April, the Aion brand will provide cash subsidies according to the 2024 standard. This "fallback" policy means users do not have to worry about losing out on their purchase and can buy a car with confidence before the national subsidy comes out. In addition, the Aion RT also provides a 3,000-yuan insurance subsidy, plus manufacturer subsidies, allowing consumers to get the "Big-Eyed Little Pamei" for 100,000 and the lidar version for 130,000.
Let us make a summary. The Aion RT is relatively novel and fashionable in design, spacious and comfortable in space, intelligent and safe in configuration, and most importantly, it has long range, fast charging, and an extremely high range achievement rate. Its range accuracy is even more accurate than that of fuel vehicles, so there is no need to worry about driving long distances. Because I am in the north, I did not previously recommend that northern friends buy pure electric models, but the Aion RT makes me feel "very sweet," and northern friends can also buy it directly.
