2025 GAC AION V detailed in full 

UPDATE, 18/11/2025: GAC Australia has announced a starting price of $42,590 plus on-road costs for its two-pronged AION V line-up and confirmed the electric medium SUV will be backed by an eight-year factory warranty.

That impressive starting price applies to the entry-level Premium variant and inflates to $44,590 when referring to the loaded Luxury.

As for the warranty, the vehicle itself is covered for eight years (unlimited kilometres) while the battery is covered for eight years/200,000km – whichever comes first.

The full specifications of both AION V variants can be found in the original article from October 31 below.

Incoming Chinese challenger GAC has announced the full specification details of its first locally offered model ahead of the national release next month. 

The 2025 GAC AION V will arrive in the second half of November as yet another antagonist for the Tesla Model Y, and will therefore also cross swords with models like the XPeng G6, BYD Sealion 7, Kia EV5, Geely EX5 and Leapmotor C10 EV. 

Both variants share a common single-motor battery-electric powertrain based around a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery and a 400V architecture. 

The entry-level Premium is loaded with equipment and technology like PVC upholstery, heated, cooled and power-adjustable front seats with memory function, auto-dimming rearview mirror, heated rear seats, dual-zone climate control, a heat pump, powered tailgate, ambient lighting, an 8.8-inch digital cockpit, 14.6-inch touchscreen, sat-nav, smartphone mirroring and a nine-speaker sound system. 

The Luxury builds on this with leather and PVC upholstery, massaging front seats, second-row tray table and a chilled centre storage bin. 

Both variants roll on 19-inch alloys as standard and come with a wealth of active safety gear: adaptive cruise control system, automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, traffic sign recognition, lane departure warning, emergency lane keeping assist, lane departure prevention, blind spot detection, rear crossing traffic alert and rear collision warning. 

We don’t know yet how much the AION V will cost of what warranty it will be backed with, but we also don’t have too long to find out since GAC Australia will officially launch in less than four weeks.

Odds are the AION V Premium will start somewhere in the low-to-mid $50,000 bracket as per its competitor set.
