GuangzhouMay 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In April this year, global sales of the AION V surged 179% year-over-year, maintaining a strong growth momentum. Currently, the AION V has been launched in multiple countries and regions worldwide, including Hong Kong (China), Thailand, Singapore, and Australia, with plans to enter markets such as the UK, Spain, and France next. The AION V’s sustained popularity in global markets stems from its superior product quality and solid user reputation.
This outstanding reputation has been fully validated in authoritative research. In the 2026 China New Energy Vehicle Product Appeal Index Study (NEV-APEAL) released by J.D. Power, a globally leading consumer insights and market research firm, the AION V ranked first in the compact pure electric SUV segment with an impressive score of 837 points. The study focuses on real-world driving experiences within 2 to 6 months of vehicle purchase, measuring owners’ perceptions and satisfaction with new energy vehicle product appeal across dimensions such as driving, charging, and intelligence. Behind this high score lies the genuine affection and recognition of AION V owners.
As a “new rugged smart driving SUV,” the AION V offers class-leading spaciousness, comfortable luxury features, and a wealth of intelligent configurations. In terms of charging, it adopts 400V + 3C fast-charging technology, compatible with 99% of global charging stations.
Safety has always been the most solid foundation of the AION V. The body is designed to five-star safety standards, equipped with the ultra-safe Magazine Battery 2.0 technology, and features a class-leading 2.3-meter ultra-long side curtain airbag. It has earned dual five-star top safety ratings from both Euro NCAP and Australia’s ANCAP.
With its comprehensive product strengths, the AION V has also garnered high praise from professional media and consumers in multiple overseas markets. In Australia, it was shortlisted for the “2026 Best Electric Vehicle Under A$60,000” by authoritative media outlet Drive; in Southeast Asia, it won awards such as Singapore’s “2025 A-Segment Electric SUV” and Indonesia’s “Most Popular Electric Vehicle.” This series of accolades is the best testament to the AION V’s global capabilities.
From sales growth to authoritative awards, from ultimate safety to global reputation, the AION V is steadily becoming a benchmark for Chinese intelligent electric SUVs on the world stage.
