Aion Indonesia has unveiled the Aion V at the Indonesia International Motor Show 2025, with two variants set to go on sale in the Archipelago this year. Announced by Aion Indonesia Chief Executive Officer Andry Ciu, the Aion V Exclusive will be priced at IDR449 million (approx. RM122k) and the Aion V Luxury will be priced at IDR489 million (approx RM133k).
The Aion V will be locally assembled in Indonesia, at GAC’s new manufacturing facility in Cikampek, Karawang Regency, West Java. The facility has a production capacity of 50,000 units annually, with assembly of the Aion V to begin in March 2025, followed by customer deliveries soon after.
The Aion V is a C-segment EV SUV by GAC Motor’s EV arm. Billed as the marque’s “first global strategic model”, the Aion V sports a “tough-looking, powerful” exterior aesthetic paired to a “refined interior style”, and is set to compete against the likes of the BYD Atto 3, Neta X, and Proton eMAS 7’s chinese cousin, the Geely EX5, in Indonesia.
Both the Exclusive and Luxury variants of the Aion V are powered by a single motor on the front axle, but the motor’s output differ between them. The Exclusive variant has a total output of 184 hp (135 kW), while the Luxury variant has 204 hp (150 kW) and 240 Nm of torque.
However, due to the difference in battery sizes (64.5 kWh on Exclusive, 75.3 kWh on Luxury), both boast an identical 0-100 km/h sprint time of 7.9 seconds. GAC Indonesia quotes an EV range of 505 km for the Exclusive variant, and 602 km on the Luxury, both based on the NEDC test cycle. The batteries are based on the lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry.
DC charging is supported at up to 180 kW, taking approximately 16 minutes to go from 30-80%. The company did not disclose AC charging information, but does mention that the Aion V will support vehicle-to-load (V2L) capabilities of up to 3.3 kW to power external electronic appliances.
