I really like it. If only the safety stuff was easier to live with... Subscribe here: youtube.com/@therightcar?sub_confirmation=1
The new GAC Aion UT is a software update away from excellence.
This is a compelling small EV, with a price tag starting at just $30,990 drive-away (AUD) for the launch period, and there are other deal sweeteners, too.
That's for a car with 430km WLTP rated EV range - the best you can get for that kind of cash if you're buying new - and it has LOADS of features, too.
But there are some issues. Nothing that can't be fixed, but it really, really needs to be fixed.

I am aiming to review every new car on the market that people actually buy, to help new-car customers like you, or curious car enthusiasts (maybe also like you) get the right steer when it comes to choosing a new set of wheels.
If you're looking for a car for yourself, monitoring the market and hunting for the latest info, or even if you've just bought your new car and you're looking to see what experts like me think about it, The Right Car will offer you something of value.
