Aion V

One-third of GAC's three-pronged attack on the Australian market is the Aion V, a RAV4-sized electric SUV at a sharp price.

Chinese automaker GAC has launched in Australia with two SUVs and an MPV, with prices starting from less than $26k before on-road costs.

There's another Chinese brand launching in Australia, and its mid-size electric SUV will take on rivals from MG, BYD, Deepal, Geely, Leapmotor and Xpeng.

GAC will launch with three models – including a pair of SUVs and a people mover – when it officially arrives in Australia next month.

The GAC Aion V is the first electric model from the newly launched Chinese brand in Australia, and it brings with it some Toyota magic.
