Aion Electric Car Features Overview Built on GAC's second-generation electric platform, the Aion S has a 2750mm wheelbase. Styling is also more conservative, in line with the GAC-built Chinese-market Toyota Camry. The Aion S is the first car to use the latest generation of CATL lithium ion batteries, which have a power density of 170Wh/kg. Another first is the use of an e-axle system developed in conjunction with Japanese supplier Nidec integrating the motor, gearbox and inverter into one unit to reduce weight. The system weighs 87kg. The car's slippery 0.245 Cd helps to reduce power usage. TheAion S is equipped with the latest NCM 811 battery cells supplied by CATL. The total capacity is 58.8 kWh, which should be enough for 510 km (317 miles) under NEDC. In the real world, we would expect more than 350 km (218 miles) of range. In terms of interior,although the dashboard is largely digital, controls are not solely by one screen. Instead there is a 12.3in instrument display flowing into the 12.3in infotainment system screen. Voice integration allows control of functions such as climate, navigation and windows. There are also more traditional buttons to control the climate. Level two autonomous driving features include intelligent cruise control and smart parking assistance.
