Introduction
As more drivers in Singapore are making the switch to electric vehicles, one particular SUV is starting to stand out — the GAC AION V. With its bold design, spacious cabin, smooth quiet drive, and practical range, the AION V offers a driving experience that feels modern, comfortable, and well-suited for private hire work. For many drivers, choosing the right rental vehicle is not just about the outer appearance. It is about finding a car that is comfortable enough for the long hours on the road, efficient enough to help manage daily running costs, and practical enough to support a full day of driving without unnecessary hassle. Here’s a closer, driver-focused look at why this electric SUV is getting attention, and why it may be worth considering.
First Impressions — Bold, Futuristic, and Built for Comfort
From the outside, the AION V makes an instant impression with its sleek modern silhouette, striking LED lighting, panoramic sunroof, and bold 19-inch Y-shaped alloy wheels. Inspired by the Tyrannosaurus Rex, its sharp geometric lines and distinctive full-LED headlights and taillights create a premium, powerful presence on the road.
Step inside, and the AION V continues to impress with a spacious, airy cabin designed for everyday comfort. Premium soft leather seats, a supportive body-contouring structure, and a cushion layer up to 20mm thick help deliver a smooth, fatigue-free ride. Front dual massage seats and advanced 3D mesh ventilation technology add another layer of comfort, making long hours behind the wheel feel far less tiring.
With front dual massage seats that allows for both the driver and passenger to relax on the go. And advanced 3d mesh heat dissipation technology for superior seat ventilation, the AION V offers an exceptional experience for every journey.
Convenience is also taken up a notch with the AION V’s intelligent built-in refrigerator. With a 6.6L capacity, quiet operation, UV disinfection lamp, and three selectable cooling modes, it offers flexible temperature control from -15°C to 50°C, perfect for keeping drinks and snacks fresh on the go.
Practicality is just as impressive. The AION V offers 427 litres of versatile storage through its smart 3-layer storage structure, and when the rear seats are folded down, boot space expands to up to 978 litres. That means more than enough room for luggage, groceries, or daily essentials — even up to 4 pieces of 24-inch luggage plus a 1 piece 20-inch luggage.
To complete the experience, the AION V comes with a 9-speaker premium sound system for rich, high-resolution audio.
For passengers, it means a more comfortable ride. For private hire drivers, it means a more premium, practical, and less tiring workspace every day.
Inside, the AION V is packed with smart technology designed to make every drive easier and more enjoyable. A 14.6-inch 1080P high-resolution touchscreen powered by the Qualcomm SA8155P processor gives you seamless control over navigation, entertainment, and vehicle settings. Drivers also get 3D maps, real-time traffic updates, voice command functionality, online music access, and AION app connectivity to remotely locate the car or pre-cool the cabin before arrival.
Electric Performance— Range that keeps you on the road
For private hire drivers, range is everything — and the AION V is built to go the distance. With an impressive 485km driving range, it’s ready to handle a full day of city rides with fewer charging stops. The AION V delivers smooth acceleration, confident performance, and an easy, composed drive whether you’re in city traffic or cruising on the expressway.
And when you do need to recharge, the AION V keeps downtime short. With 3C fast charging, it can charge from 30% to 80% in just 16 minutes, adding up to 300km of range during a quick coffee break. That means less waiting, more driving, and greater peace of mind throughout the day.
Safety is our top priority and the AION V agrees.
The SUV comes with a Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating, a strong cabin built with high-strength steel and up to 72% aluminium alloy, and up to 11 impact-absorbing zones for added protection. It also features seven airbags, including large 2.3-metre curtain airbags that stay inflated for up to 6 seconds, helping to protect both drivers and passengers. Advanced braking tuning also ensures a smoother, more stable stop with less jerking and swaying.
For drivers, the AION V’s Advanced L2 Driver Assistance brings added support, safety, and peace of mind on the road, plus a multi-functional steering wheel that makes it easy to switch between audio, phone, cruise, and driving information, keeping every journey safer, smoother, and more convenient.
Ride Comfort— Smooth and Relaxed
One of the biggest advantages of driving an EV is the quiet cabin, and the AION V delivers exactly that. Without the usual engine noise of a petrol car, every trip feels calmer, and every journey more refined.
Its comfort-tuned suspensions help absorb bumps, keeping the cabin stable when on uneven roads. For drivers spending long hours behind the wheel, that smoother ride can make a real difference in reducing fatigue by the end of the day.
Choose from four driving modes to match your journey
Comfort Mode – Quicker accelerator response for a more dynamic drive, with reduced energy recovery for a smoother feel.
Sports Mode – Sharp, responsive acceleration for a more exhilarating drive, paired with Level 2 energy recovery to keep you powered up.
Economy Mode – Smooth and steady throttle response with high energy recovery, ideal for efficient long-distance driving.
Super Economy Mode – Maximises efficiency with reduced air-conditioning, smooth throttle response, maximum power recovery, and a steady 90 km/h speed limit — perfect for longer journeys where every kilometre counts.
