In terms of appearance, the Aion UT electric car is similar to the BYD Dolphin. However, it has smaller headlights.

It is also equipped with unique Daytime Running Lights (DRL), strengthening the Aion UT's identity.

The fascia of this electric car appears minimalist, with an emblem bearing the name Aion in the front center area.

However, there is a sporty feel it aims to show through the use of 17-inch dual-tone wheels.

Consumers can also choose unique two-tone color combinations such as Velvet Red/White and Emerald Green/White on the highest trim, the Premium.

Moving to the Aion UT's interior, the dashboard and center console are clean without the presence of physical buttons. Like most EVs, vehicle feature controls are delegated to the head unit.

The head unit on the Aion UT measures 14.6 inches. Inside, there are various settings ranging from the AC to the windows.

Speaking of the powertrain, the Aion UT is available with two battery options, namely a 44.1 kWh Lithium Ferro Phosphate (LFP) (Standard type) and a 60 kWh (Premium variant). 

Each offers a range of up to 400 km and 500 km on a single charge.
