Aion UT

Performance

The Aion UT has a maximum power of 150 kW (204 hp / 201 bhp) and a total torque of 210 Nm (155 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 7.3 seconds and reaches a top speed of 160 km/h (99 mph).

Battery, Range, and Charging

The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 60.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 58.0 kWh, providing a 2.0 kWh buffer (3.3%) for battery protection.

The Lithium-Ion battery utilizes LFP technology, which offers advantages and disadvantages compared to typical NCA/NMC batteries.

According to the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range is 430 km (267 miles), with an energy consumption rate of 13.5 kWh/100 km (3 mi/kWh).

For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.

The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 87 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 161 minutes, while a typical 10% to 80% charge takes about 48 minutes with an average charging speed of 50 kW.

Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 7% to 48%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 54 kW, with each charging session taking about 26 minutes and 23 seconds.

In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 20 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 10 hours and 58 minutes, needing six charging stops from 7% to 48%, totaling 158 minutes of charging time.

Onboard Charger

The standard onboard charger supports up to 11 kW for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging, allowing a full 0–100% charge in about 5 hours and 16 minutes with a standard home setup.
