About Aion

Aion is owned by GAC Group, one of China’s biggest car manufacturers. While GAC is not yet a household name in Britain, it is a major global player and has been expanding rapidly outside China in recent years.

The brand’s UK operation is being handled by Aion Auto UK, a joint venture between GAC and Jameel Motors. Former Volvo UK boss Jon Wakefield has been appointed managing director, underlining that this is being treated as a serious long-term launch rather than a tentative trial.

Aion’s first UK models are set to be the Aion V electric SUV and the Aion UT electric hatchback. The V is expected to be the first to arrive and will sit in the hugely important mid-size family EV class, while the smaller UT is intended to broaden the line-up with a more affordable hatchback option.

UK-spec details are still being finalised, but Aion has already said it will back its cars with an eight-year warranty that includes servicing, roadside assistance and MOTs. The company has also put customer support infrastructure in place, including UK warehousing and a wider European parts hub, which should help reassure buyers concerned about aftersales support from a brand that’s new to Britain.
