430 km range for less than 250,000 kroner

The entry-level model with a range of 320 km becomes even cheaper: 229,900 kroner. The goal is clearly to compete with rivals on price.

Sulland Group’s import company, Electric Way, announced in August that it plans to import a Chinese car brand to Norway: GAC.

GAC was founded in 1997 and is headquartered in Guangzhou, China. The group has produced over 30 million vehicles, but the model it is bringing to the Norwegian market is manufactured in Europe, targeting European customers.

All in on Aion Ut

The Norwegian importer Electric Way already sells the Voyah, Dongfeng brands, as well as the off-roader M Hero in the country.

So now they’re giving it a shot with another new brand, GAC, and today they’ve released the prices for their first model, aptly named Ut, or Aion Ut.

Or AION UT, as the company likes to write it with all caps.

We got a test drive of the car over the weekend, and a more in-depth article with a video reviewing it will be available here on elbil.no later this week.

Competing with rivals

The prices are public starting today, and they’re quite surprisingly high:

The luxury version of the Aion Ut starts at 249,900 kroner, and this is likely the most relevant model for people in the north, as it’s only 20,000 kroner more expensive than the entry-level City model with a range of 320 km.

The Luxury model features a 60 kWT LFP battery and an WLTP range of 430 kilometers. It is approximately 60,000 kroner cheaper than a comparable MG4 and over 140,000 kroner cheaper than the Toyota Urban Cruiser, both of which have roughly the same range.

Other direct competitors include the ID.3 Neo, which is 75,000 kroner more expensive, and the ID. Polo with the largest battery pack, which is actually only 27,000 kroner more costly.

So it’s certainly worth seeing to what extent Norwegian buyers are willing to embrace a new Chinese brand over a familiar and trusted one, but the trend — whether you like it or not — is that more and more people are doing so.

Both the extensive list of features (which you can learn more about in the test drive article/video coming later this week), the solid eight-year/160,000-kilometer new car warranty, and its excellent score in Euro NCAP safety tests indicate that this newcomer is well-positioned to succeed strongly in the Norwegian market going forward.
