GuangzhouJune 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The global sales momentum of the AION UT added another impressive milestone in May 2026—GAC AION UT achieved monthly sales of 3,331 units, a 60% increase month-over-month, making it the fastest-growing model in the Chinese brand electric hatchback segment, showcasing its global blockbuster potential.
Since its debut in 2025, the AION UT has rapidly swept across Southeast Asia, South America, Oceania, and Europe. From Thailand and Indonesia to Singapore and Uruguay, from Australia to Milan, its global footprint has continued to expand over the past year, consistently ranking among the top in its segment in multiple countries.
This strong sales performance stems from the product’s solid capabilities. Designed by the Milan Design Center, the AION UT features a digital cube aesthetic paired with a stylish large hatchback, creating a trendsetting icon. Its 2750mm ultra-long wheelbase delivers a class-above interior space. The magazine battery 2.0 technology maintains a “zero spontaneous combustion” record, while 24-minute fast charging and V2L external discharge cover all-scenario needs. With its all-around performance, the UT has won authoritative awards such as “Most Valuable Electric Vehicle” at the Bangkok Motor Show, “Best Compact Electric Vehicle” in Mexico, and “CAR OF THE YEAR 2026 Best Five-Door Electric Small Hatchback” in Thailand, earning unanimous praise from global media and users.
Beyond product strength, the AION UT has also leveraged cross-industry marketing in the sports and entertainment sectors, collaborating with football superstar Luis Suárez and Hong Kong pop singer Zhang Yuchen to deeply engage with younger demographics. This reinforces its positioning as a “global new era trendsetter,” solidifying the “Chinese brand global blockbuster car” label in consumers’ minds.
The rapid growth of the AION UT carries profound significance for the accelerated implementation of GAC’s “One GAC 2.0” strategy. From product exports to ecosystem exports, the AION UT is driving high-quality Chinese new energy vehicles to the world. As GAC approaches the major milestone of 30 million vehicles produced, the AION UT, with its “fastest-growing” momentum, writes a resounding chapter in GAC’s globalization journey.
