GAC Aion Y Plus EV can now be obtained in Malaysia at a much lower price than before. Made its debut at the Malaysia Autoshow 2024, the electric crossover SUV was the first GAC Aion product to be released on our shores.
At that time, the Y Plus Elite was priced at RM119,800 while the higher-end Y Plus Premium could be obtained for RM135,800. Now, you can get the EV for as low as RM95,000 according to GAC Aion Malaysia’s website, although its Facebook page lists a slightly higher figure at RM95,800.
Customers will be provided with a free portable EV charger, according to the promotional poster. Just like before, the EV still comes with an 8-year / 160,000km vehicle warranty alongside a separate 8-year / 200,000km warranty for its high-voltage battery, motor, and electric control.
GAC Aion Y Plus quick specs
Both GAC Aion Y Plus variants come standard with a 150kW (201hp) electric motor that also produces 225Nm of torque. The EV can go from 0 to 100km/h in 8.5 seconds, although its official maximum speed was not mentioned in the specs sheet for the Malaysian market.
Both variants are powered by a 63.2kWh LFP battery pack, which allows them to deliver up to 490km of range, although this figure is based on a more lenient NEDC standard. Under the WLTP standard, the range is rated much lower at 430km.
The Y Plus in Malaysia also features a 6.6kW onboard AC charger and can support DC charging of up to 80kW. This EV is also one of the very few models that are able to utilise EVC’s Autocharge feature, which allows Aion Y Plus owners to simply plug and charge their vehicle at selected JomCharge chargers without using any app.
Customers who choose the Y Plus Premium variant also get to enjoy additional features such as 3.3kW Vehicle-to-Load (V2L), power tailgate, auto-dimming rearview mirror, wireless smartphone charger, powered driver’s seat with ventilation, rear seat central armrest, and music mode for its ambient lighting. The Premium variant also has Level 2 ADAS capabilities, while the Elite variant is limited to traditional cruise control settings.
You can now get GAC Aion Y Plus EV for under RM100,000
