The GAC Aion S Plus Is A Sleek Electric Sedan

[@martijnlafeber]

Most impressive that you can have a decent car with a 50kWh battery for only €20k.

[@peterpannemann4565]

With 9000€ gov. support it could become interesting again (maybe even more with the next government)

[@martijnlafeber]

@Toralf Hohberger Ich denke, vielleicht €27k? The $25k Xpeng P5 is 60% of the Model 3 RMB price in China, which translates to ~ €30k in Die Niederlande. So this one 10% cheaper? It's hard to say though.

[@JackoBanon1]

Ich in gerade beruflich in China und hier fahren endlos viele dieser Fahrzeuge rum. Ich saß auch schon häufig in Taxis dieser Marke. Also in meinen Augen ist es ein rundum gelungenes und gut verarbeitetes Auto.

[@chez-roybirchwood5617]

Agreed

[@jane7412]

"69.9 'nice' kWh battery pack" 6:29 niceeee, this is the content I'm looking for :)

[@noblecollins9549]

The design is sleek

[@mingyuhuang8944]

Gorgeous. Competition really does bring out the best of products. And China sure does have a competitive car market

[@dontran6061]

Deserves way more subscribers. The content is high quality!

[@planb1635]

This would surely challenge P5. I'm waiting for both of xpeng and aion to bring cars to my country.

[@gluttonousmaximus9048]

P5 came late actually. Aion S was launched in 2019 and this particular model is a facelift with extended range and new motor options; the series has been decently successful for a year now.

[@alessandropetta7795]

I must say this is beautiful, design wise. On top, this is a seriously aerodynamic car: could it be the best in its class? It would be interesting to know the real consumption of this car and how it compares to the Model 3 or the oder Ioniq.

[@kurtsigouin5199]

They did well on the taillight treatment and I do like that floating center console, does not sound like a great driver with those grabby brakes!

[@HDHQDIRECT]

I think the interior color was very nice....what were you looking for rainbows and unicorns?

[@ligametis]

Black and grey is very boring. Even white looks way better. Maybe some wood.

[@teofilol2666]

I like the driver seat that automatically move backward to receive the driver then move forward to the driving position after that.

[@cheuklungli547]

My Lexus had that too❤

[@bobc5730]

Way too much time spent reviewing design. How about more tests while driving ? You fell for the bright shiny object trick.

[@partrickw.gg.8541]

in the 1st gen aion s model there's an option called "creep" under the i-pedal setting. if you switched it off it would fully stop the car once the accelerate pedal is completely lifted. i think this option remains somewhere in the car menu

[@Wheelsboy]

Thank you for your comment, it’s entirely possible that the setting is available in this model as well, but we certainly didn’t find it.

[@AutomaticVII]

It's a weird thing to like, but that door closed with a nice, reassuring 'thud' at 3:14. :D

[@Wheelsboy]

Somewhere in Guangzhou there is an Aion engineer who spent hour upon hour tuning the sound of that door shutting, and they are very happy right now.

[@teofilol2666]

What more impressive is the driver seat that move backward while the door is opened to accommodate the driver, then move forward to the driving position after the door is closed.

[@josemanuel5749]

Please make a review of the FAW MK2 Volkswagen Jetta

[@heincarpenter]

I saw some misaligned body parts unfortunately. Didn't you notice?

[@andreseduardopluasa.8918]

Test the ZEEKR 001

[@ianpolo5673]

Very nice design. So sick of current trend of big grille, messy lines, cuts and angles...

[@saidkamron813]

👍🏼☝🏼

[@Reddylion]

Interesting

[@rivirueren3383]

What about the toyota izoa.. cuz its only available in china.. and I think it's worth it cause you can give an idea about toyota bev vehicles as toyota has no other ev cars anywhere in the world

[@partrickw.gg.8541]

The izoa in China has nothing much different than the C-HR. They slightly changed the design of the interior and exterior. Other stuff remains the same

[@goodboysady]

With these surging oil prices EV is the future

[@javierlezama1094]

⚡GAC Avión S Plus 😍🤩

[@kojo4480]

you really missed all the best features of the car including remote parking, unmanned parking, emotion reading, face ID, rain sensing windows, etc.

[@morrismak]

My goodness....US is really falling behind in the EV space

[@dave_riots]

Because it's ran by petroldollars.

[@adicahya]

Hi @wheelsboy Wondering the price you shows here. Is it after or before the Chinese government incentives?

[@Wheelsboy]

Good question, we always use the official, post-incentive prices for the electric cars we review.

[@Dzynerr]

Beautiful car.

[@123fourfive5]

What a stunner

[@omaralkayal7598]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@theguywithtwoeyes]

nice review. just one thing, you lose details on the black due to the amount of editing, contrast...

[@chomihai]

I thought it is the new prius:))

[@markuc]

Much nicer. And it's all electric

[@brkclk1990]

Aion S 580 Sahibiyim ve aracımı çok seviyorum Türkiye de bu arabaya sahip 4-5 kişiden biri olmakta ayrıcalık 😊 Kimin böyle bir dileği varsa Tanrı kabul etsin 🙏🏼

[@mehmetbilir2243]

Kanka bayadır kullanıyorsun galiba menzil nasıl gercekmi 500km ortalama teşekkürler hayırlı olsun 😊

[@brkclk1990]

@@mehmetbilir2243 çok teşekkürler daha iyisi sana nasip olsun, 460 km fakat kışın düşüyor, yazın ise 460 bulabiliyorsun eco yada i pedal modda daha üstüde olabiliyor

[@martinberglund8932]

Sad that the design was forgotten when they got to the back of the car. Otherwise, it is a super nice car!

[@sthembisomadlala6943]

Chinese cars are well priced

[@javierlezama1094]

$ 22.000 😱😳

[@Jannikheu]

Anyone knows something about the Aion V graphene battery? Is it already on the market or is it just hot air?

[@thewanderingrey8830]

Regardless of the performance, for some reason this is a FAR BETTER LOOKING car for me compared to the P5, of which I really dislike the front-side profile look.

[@filipesiegrist]

thanks for the vid

[@MrRemco1994]

Maybe it could be an idea to use a bit of b-roll of the other cars you mention in the review? It’s sometimes confusing which model is talked about as most are not very known by the Western public.

[@Wheelsboy]

We try to link to the video reviews of each car we mentioned (provided we have done a review). Sometimes we don’t link it when we first mention it, however, and we can see how it might be a bit confusing!

[@richiehale1545]

It doesn't look too bad looking forward from the rear three quarter view, but as with many BEVs, the front is unassuming and a bit of a let down. As there is no grill required, there is nothing to break up the the shape and draw your eye so it looks a bit odd, and as with many of the Chinese market BEVs, it looks under wheeled. I did notice that the fit and finish was a little off ( look at the passenger side boot shut when he's at the rear of the car), the body coloured strip in the rear light unit doesn't line up properly. The inside looks great though but as is noted, could do with a splash of colour and the panoramic roof makes the car seem more spacious with all the natural light entering the car. Not a bad job though

[@szaib12345]

Not sure if anyone else's notices but his microphone is really bad... or he speaks so softly that it barely picks up the audio... regardless great review

[@morrismak]

What watch were you sporting in the video. Looks nice! 🙂

[@Wheelsboy]

Thanks for asking, Ethan was rocking a Casio Illuminator World Time for this video.

[@Mhadyourfriend]

Their logo is a copy paste

[@Russkivol]

I know I should have been paying attention to the car, but, I was more interested in Ethan's hair. Let's be blunt--Chinese EV's tend to resemble each other and have similar mechanicals, so until they shake up design, I will focus on Ethan's hair.

[@markuc]

You are looking at the hair because the lack of the fanny pack... But Chinese EVs are as various as the come. There are similarities because these are all customer ready instead of early concepts.

[@Mpl3564]

Almost 480 cm long. Too large to my taste. A renault Zoe-like 4 meters is more than enough, thank you.

[@albettmwathi5729]

i love it

[@izwanhazimi9761]

Love your channel 👍👍👍😘😘😘🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾

[@mynewschannel3100]

Mmmm, 50 shades of grey interior not sexy...

[@watchout5508]

Does he?

[@cobaltblue2756]

Exterior is better than p5 imo, wojld you review byd qin

[@drew031127]

I'll take the Aion with LFP over the P5 with ternary.

[@Imperial_Dynamics]

wow the front design is amazing (the back not so much)

[@lukelarssen7072]

the aion is actually used by a lot of Uber drivers in China

[@Wheelsboy]

That’s true, and if you go to Guangzhou, you will also see a lot of Aions being used as taxis.

[@erich623]

Do you think there are 50 shades of grey inside this car?

[@ARMD9]

sick design

[@willemm]

the tailgate doesn't seem to quite fit on the right hand side - it is misaligned with the rear lights, and not by a small bit either...

[@MrHOREEE]

Waiting for All New GAC GS8

[@tahsin28]

Music too lound

[@tradingcardboss]

Another.great review - was the car colour Rose Gold ?

[@Wheelsboy]

Thank you! It was really more of a pink, but there were definitely hints of gold in certain lights. A genuinely great color when seen in person.

[@simonfang6478]

Good review. Tq Thks 👍

[@mister_jon_jon]

Nice, hope it comes to EU.

[@louisbeerreviews8964]

Not going to happen

[@rollandfok3413]

Maybe it will happen. Now it will take 2-3 months to order an AION S in China. It is said that their new factory will start in November, when the supply of cars will increase. Maybe they will go to the EU like XPENG and NIO one year later when their production capacity is enough. I heard that the MG4 sells for 26k pounds in Europe. Is this true?

[@alexxie6963]

The ubiquitous taxi

[@karanraj9237]

Very bad looking car

[@sideheos4318]

Genesis kinda taillights

[@DD-DD-DD]

It's hideous - like the first gen Saturns were

[@omaralkayal7598]

I feel it looks alright The rear end is like some of the new K series sedans from Kia it’s great

[@Checkmate025]

Sleek? The car looks like a concept from the 90s

[@brawales]

I can not understand, every single review this guy does he is always complaining about the cars, he is never happy with anything, so why does not him back to his country and do reviews about cars in his country? China is rocking in every single aways. Go China.

[@神成子]

Because cater to Western audiences, And only in this way can automobile manufacturers pay more attention to and improve their products，good for consumers

[@jubylam7108]

How ugly this seems a mixture of a 2021corrola and a saturn of the 90s and it's electric It has the triage of the shity but dam the Interior is nice.But paying 27000 dollars for that piece of shit with that amount of money I put together the car of my dreams and I have money left over.
