Pay attention to and often read the tram lab punch card to think about new energy insights
The basic quality is good, but unfortunately I didn't try the essence.

Entering 2022, the endurance of many electric vehicles has run to 1000km, and the first model on the market is GAC Aion LX Plus, which has a CLTC cruising range of up to 1008km.
However, this time we test drive a more expensive version, that is, the sub-low version priced at 329,600 yuan - the 80D flagship version, clTC cruising range of 600km.
Without the two big selling points of 1000+km endurance and lidar, what are the highlights of this car?
Click on the video and test drive together
Not convenient to watch videos? That's okay, the provincial assistant has prepared the main content of this video for you:
1. Appearance
The AION LX Plus has made minor changes to the AION LX, mainly with a new front bumper, a new front and rear logo and transparent shell through taillights. Although the changes are not large, the whole car is obviously younger and more low-lying.
2. Interior
AION LX Plus is equipped with a standard electric adjustment steering wheel, electric lifting gear lever and main driver welcome function, when getting on the car, the main driver seat slowly recedes, the steering wheel slowly rises, leaving enough space for the car, after stepping on the brake pedal, the knob stop bar is slowly raised, and the sense of ceremony is full.
AION LX Plus's carriage workmanship materials are worthy of its price, ergonomic design is also more reasonable, the steering wheel supports up and down, front and rear large angle adjustment, the main seat is standard with knee rest, but the high-gloss black piano paint material used around the barrier is easier to scratch and fingerprint.
3. Space
As a medium-sized pure electric SUV with a wheelbase of more than 2 meters 9, the rear space of the AION LX Plus naturally does not need to worry, the legroom is abundant, and the head space is not cramped. What's more, its rear seat ride feels very good, the backrest supports multi-level angle adjustment, can be adjusted to a very lying state, and the cushion is long enough to sit naturally.
Starting from the 80D version, the right seats of the AION LX Plus rear are equipped with leg rests, although limited by the longitudinal space in the car, even if the front seats are adjusted to the front, people over 170cm tall cannot straighten their legs in the rear seat, but they can adjust the leg rest to about 45 °, and the feeling and honor of riding are still quite good.
However, it is necessary to complain that the rear leg rest adjustment button and the boss button are placed in the lower right of the seat, and when the right rear door is closed, it is inconvenient to adjust. If you can change these 3 buttons to the door panel or the B-pillar, the experience will be better.
In terms of the tail compartment, limited by the walking back shape, the available height of the tail box has been affected, but the tail compartment space is still relatively regular, and there are two large storage compartments on both sides, and the rear backrest angle adjustment function is also conducive to expanding the tail box space.
It is worth mentioning that the AION LX Plus is one of the few pure electric models on the market with spare tires, except for the minimum, other configurations have spare tires.
4. Intelligent
As an independent brand of new energy vehicles, AION LX Plus the entire car series still has many highlights in terms of intelligence, full speed domain ACC, lane change assist, automatic parking, remote control parking and active safety configuration are the standard of the whole series, high-end models will also be equipped with lidar, which can achieve navigation assistance driving functions similar to Tesla NOA and higher-level urban auxiliary driving functions.
However, since we got a test car this time, the vehicle machine and the auxiliary driving function are not the final form, so this part of the experience can only be supplemented later.
5. Dynamics
The 80D version of the test drive is equipped with dual motors front and rear, with a maximum power of 360kW and a maximum torque of 700 Nm, with an official zero hundred score of 3.9s. This level of power is certainly more than enough for everyday use, and even if tuned to ECO mode, high-speed overtaking is very easy. And the electric gate is relatively linear, even in the sport mode, the power is also very well controlled.
Except for the I-PEDAL single pedal mode and eco+ super energy saving mode (forced on I-PEDAL), the other driving modes of the AION LX Plus will not have a strong kinetic energy recovery force, which is more friendly to users who are accustomed to driving fuel vehicles.
AION LX Plus has three adjustable steering forces of lightness, comfort and sport, and the sense of steering communication is strengthened in turn to adapt to the needs of different people. Under the 3 steering forces, the damping can be uniform, and the steering feel is good.
AION LX Plus chassis to cope with complex road surfaces and speed bumps appear very calm, the chassis can be well isolated, filter out the bumps of the road surface, at the same time it also has a good sound insulation, with a strong sense of high-grade. However, when walking on a good road, the chassis of the AION LX Plus will have some strange tremors, and it is necessary to get the production car later to confirm whether this problem is the cause of the test car.
The first test drive AION LX Plus, it gave me a good first impression, but unfortunately, this time I did not experience its performance in terms of intelligence, nor did I have the opportunity to test the actual endurance of the 1008km version, and I felt that I did not try the "essence" of this car series. I look forward to the opportunity to get the mass production car in the future and do more in-depth evaluation content.
