Driving through the busy streets of Manila can feel like a daily hell of a marathon. Between heavy traffic and narrow alleys, local drivers need a reliable ride. Fortunately, the all-new GAC AION UT brings a clever mix of compact agility and big-car practicality to the road.
Building a Two-Car EV Garage
Switching to electric mobility completely transformed daily life for Caloocan entrepreneurs Menchie and Christopher Galang. Managing a busy photo and videography business alongside family routines, they wanted a smarter way to beat rising fuel prices. After exploring various options, they fell in place with the GAC AION UT.
The performance is really impressive, and the space inside is incredible; it easily accommodates all our bulky photo and video gear,”
shared Christopher Galang.
The advanced driving assistance and parking features bring so much convenience to our everyday trips.”
Soon enough, smooth handling on steep inclines and handy Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capabilities made their first purchase a game-changer. Weekly fuel costs plummeted from PHP 4,000, prompting them to sell an underutilized gas vehicle and buy a second AION UT just two months later.
We realized we were constantly competing over who got to take the AION UT for the day because it was just so comfortable and economical to drive, Buying the second one just two months later was the most logical step for our family and our business.”
recalled Menchie Galang.
Big Car Energy for Local Roads
Beyond the specs, this hatchback is designed to maximize interior comfort. By pushing wheels out to the corners, it delivers a lounge-inspired cabin with a massive 440-liter boot for gear and groceries.
Furthermore, it tackles local road realities with ease. An ultra-tight turning radius helps in crowded spaces, while waterproof battery protection handles monsoon floods effortlessly. Plus, smart app features and a solid 400 km driving range cut daily running costs by up to 75 percent.
Global Safety and Ownership Support
Safety remains a top priority for every journey. Specifically, the vehicle earned a five-star ANCAP rating and a five-star Euro NCAP rating, anchored by a robust “Dragon-Bone” steel frame and a 7-airbag system.
Right now, the GAC AION UT Elite is available at an introductory price of PHP 998,000 until December 31, 2026. Moreover, every purchase comes with robust warranties, including an 8-year or 160,000 km basic warranty and an 8-year or 200,000 km coverage for the traction battery.
