Aion LX Fuel Cell

On 28 July 2020 at the GAC Tech Day event, GAC presented a fuel cell version of the Aion LX with a different grille from that of the electric version for hydrogen technology testing purposes.[3] The Aion LX Fuel Cell has a fueling time of 3–5 minutes and a NEDC range exceeding 650 km.[4]

Aion LX Plus

Unveiled in November 2021, the Aion LX Plus is an updated variant of the all-electric Aion LX which is slightly longer, features a different styling (taking design cues from the smaller Aion V Plus) and is equipped with a 144.4 kWh battery capable of 1008 km of range on the NEDC cycle. The battery uses silicon sponge technology in its anode.[5]

Hycan 007

In April 2019, GAC and Nio announced they would form a joint venture electric vehicle brand called Hycan.[9] On 20 May 2019, Hycan revealed the 007 concept, which is an Aion LX with a redesigned front and rear end, interior, and wheel design.[10][11]

On 27 December 2019, the largely unchanged production Hycan 007 was revealed and went on pre-sale before being officially listed for sale in the Chinese market in April 2020 at a starting price of 262,000 Chinese yuan (US$37,343).[12][13]

The 007 is available in three trim levels, Base, Plus, and Top. The Base trim level has a 73 kWh battery pack with a NEDC range of 523 km and a 0 - 100 km/h acceleration time of 8.2 seconds, while the higher-level Plus and Top trims both have a 93 kWh battery with a NEDC range of up to 643 km and a 0 - 100 km/h acceleration time of 7.9 seconds.[14] The top version has 26 mi more range than the LX's top trim level, which only has a range of 373 mi.[15]
