Mounted above the floating centre console is a 14.6-inch touchscreen which comes as standard on all models. Unlike models from Aion’s Chinese compatriots, the UT’s infotainment system doesn’t slide or rotate, but it is paired with a digital instrument cluster which we expect will be able to display live mapping, alongside the usual speedometer info.
Building on the premium focus is a long list of standard equipment which includes a heated steering wheel and seats, a 360-degree camera system and 17-inch alloy wheels. An optional Premium Pack adds a wireless phone charger, ventilated front seats, power-folding mirrors, a powered bootlid and a panoramic sunroof.
How much will the Aion UT cost?
Aion is yet to release exact pricing for the UT, nor has it confirmed a specific date in September for sales to start. We are told, however, that pricing will get underway for less than £30,000 – which will make it more expensive than its supermini rivals, but keenly priced against the likes of the Ford Puma Gen-E. First deliveries will arrive in October.
To sweeten the deal, Aion is offering the UT with its ‘Great 8 Promise’ cover. This includes eight years’ worth of warranty, servicing, roadside assistance and MoTs. Aion says the coverage is tied to the car, rather than the original buyer, meaning the benefits continue if the vehicle is sold on within the stated period.
