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 kilometres (400 mi).[4]

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 (520 MJ) battery. The battery uses silicon sponge technology in its anode.[5]

Hycan 007

[edit]

In April 2019, GAC and Nio announced they would form a joint venture electric vehicle brand called Hycan.[10]

Hycan later revealed the 007, an Aion LX with redesigned front/rear ends, interior, and wheels which also has a range of 399 miles (642 km), 26 miles (42 km) more than the LX 80D Max's (top trim level) which only has a range of 373 miles (600 km).[11][12][13]

The Hycan 007 is a mid-size electric Sport utility vehicle produced since April 2020.

On 20 May 2019, Hycan revealed the 007 concept, an Aion LX (produced by GAC New Energy) with a redesigned front and rear end, interior, and wheel design.[14] The production model was yet to be revealed and multiple teasers were shown before the upcoming revealing.[15]

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).[16][17]

The 007 is available in three trim levels, Base, Plus, and Top. The Base trim level has a 73 kWh (260 MJ) battery pack with a NEDC range of 523 km (325 mi) and a 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) acceleration time of 8.2 seconds, while the higher-level Plus and Top trims both have a 93 kWh (330 MJ) battery with a NEDC range of up to 643 km (400 mi) and a 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) acceleration time of 7.9 seconds.[18]
