▸ About Aion in Thailand

GAC Aion in Thailand

Canonical research doc. Source-of-truth for every Aion/Hyptec fact used by seed scripts, the brand page, and the AI advisor. Cite every claim inline. Mark [unverified] rather than guess.

Range-standard hygiene (LOAD-BEARING). GAC Aion's Thai materials publish NEDC by default for most Aion-brand models and NEDC or CLTC for Hyptec. NEDC inflates WLTP by ~22–25 %; CLTC inflates WLTP by ~25–30 %. Never write an NEDC/CLTC figure into range_wltp_km. Store the headline figure as range_nedc_km or range_cltc_km in trim_facts.extra_specs, and derive WLTP as NEDC × 0.78 / CLTC × 0.75 — or cross-check against EV-Database WLTP for the Aion V (one of the few Aion nameplates with a published WLTP figure of 485–510 km).

Hyper → Hyptec rename. All Hyptec models were sold globally as "Hyper" until 2024-08-05, when GAC renamed the sub-brand to Hyptec (Chinese: 广汽昊铂 / Guǎngqì Hàobó). In Thailand the Hyper HT was teased at BIMS 2024 (March), but the formal launch (September 2024) used the new "Hyptec HT" name. Hyper SSR is the same car as Hyptec SSR.

At a glance

  • Distributor model: Unlike BYD (single distributor Rêver) or GWM (factory-direct), GAC operates a multi-distributor network: Gold Integrate Co., Ltd. (lead, signed MOU 2023-06-28), plus Sharich Holding (AIONIC AUTO), V Group, and Harmony Group as additional appointed authorised distributors, each able to sub-appoint dealers. Aion Automobile Sales (Thailand) Co., Ltd. is the Aion subsidiary layered above them and serves as GAC Aion's Southeast Asia HQ. (Chinadaily — MOU; PRNewswire — Thailand debut; Bangkok Post — EVme Plus partnership)
  • Entered Thailand: MOU 2023-06-28 → brand launch 2023-09-09 with first model (Aion Y Plus) → Rayong plant opened 2024-07-17.
  • First BEV: Aion Y Plus 490 Elite / 550 Ultra, launched 2023-09-09 in Bangkok with first overseas RHD model. (CarNewsChina; Grandprix)
  • BEV models on sale (May 2026): Aion UT (hatchback) · Aion Y Plus (compact SUV) · Aion V (mid SUV) · Aion ES (D-segment sedan, EVme Plus taxi-leaning) · Hyptec HT (mid SUV, premium) · Hyptec SSR (electric supercar). GAC M8 PHEV (luxury MPV) launched 2024-08-08 but is a PHEV and therefore outside the evth BEV scope. Hyptec GT was shown at BIMS 2024 but never launched in TH — eligible for upcoming_models, not trims.
  • Total BEV trims documented (May 2026): 12 — 2 Aion UT, 2 Aion Y Plus, 2 Aion V, 2 Aion ES (standard + EVme taxi), 2 Hyptec HT, 2 Hyptec SSR.
  • Showrooms: ~59 sales outlets + 25 charging stations as of late 2025 (GAC Group Q1 2026 overseas press); 80-store target by end-2025 per GAC's "Thailand Action Plan" [unverified whether the 80 target was hit].
  • Current BEV price band: ฿519,900 (Aion UT 420 Standard) – ฿8,999,000 (Hyptec SSR Sprint / Ultimate Track).
  • Local plant: Amata City Rayong Industrial Estate, Pluak Daeng district, Rayong (EEC) — opened 2024-07-17. Phase 1 capacity 50,000 units/year, expandable to 100,000 units/year. Investment ฿2.3 billion (~US $64 m). 85,000 m² site, 45 % local content at opening, 51 % by mid-2025.
  • 2025 sales: 15,301 units in Thailand (+305 % YoY) — 11.2 % of BEV market, #3 BEV brand. January 2026: 5,584 registrations (+438 % YoY, +234 % MoM) — propelled GAC to #7 in the overall Thai automotive market with 6.0 % share. (PRNewswire — Thailand Action 2.0; Thairath EN — Jan 2026 milestone)

GAC Aion sits in a distinctive structural position in Thailand's EV market: it is the first Chinese EV brand to enter Thailand with a luxury sub-brand (Hyptec / formerly Hyper) alongside its mass-market line, and the second Chinese-EV brand to localise production (after BYD Rayong, before Changan and just before GWM Ora 5 EV CKD). The dual brand-architecture lets Aion compete with BYD Atto 3 / MG ZS EV at the bottom while charging Mercedes-EQE money for Hyptec HT — a span no other Chinese OEM in Thailand currently attempts. The price collapse on Aion Y Plus (฿1,299,900 → ฿829,900 over 14 months, −36 %) and the delayed Hyptec rollout (Hyper GT shown at BIMS 2024 but never launched in Thailand) suggest the strategy is still finding its footing.

Distribution & business

GAC's Thailand entry began with the 2023-06-28 MOU between GAC Aion (then under the "Hyper / Aion" branding) and Gold Integrate Co., Ltd. — a Thai distributor. The signing was witnessed by China's Ambassador to Thailand, the Mayor of Bangkok, and a leader of Guangdong Provincial Government, signalling state-level coordination (Chinadaily). Three months later GAC opened its Bangkok brand launch (2023-09-09), with Aion Y Plus as the inaugural model.

Unlike Rêver Automotive (sole importer for BYD) or GWM Thailand (wholly-owned subsidiary), GAC structures the Thai market as a federated multi-distributor network:

Aion ES — D-segment electric sedan (taxi-leaning)

A reskinned Aion S Plus (China taxi-fleet sedan) tuned for the Thai taxi market through GAC Aion's joint operation with EVme Plus (PTT subsidiary's mobility platform). It is the only Aion BEV that ships in two clearly-segmented trims — a retail "Standard" and an EVme Taxi variant with Smart Taxi hardware (meter, GPS, taxi light, badge).

Lineage & platform

  • Generation: Aion S Plus derivative (Aion S Plus = 2nd-gen Aion S; this is the fleet-trim repackage)
  • Origin: CBU-China (Guangzhou)
  • TH launch: 2023-11-29 at Motor Expo 2023 (40th show) — alongside EVme Plus announcement of 3,000-car taxi target (Headlightmag; Bangkok Post)
  • Drag coefficient: Cd 0.211 — one of the lowest in segment (car2day)
  • CKD status: CBU-China (no announcement of Thai CKD)

Aion V — mid-size electric SUV (2nd generation)

GAC's BYD Atto 3 / MG ZS EV competitor. The 2nd-gen Aion V (China launch 2024-07-23) is the version sold in Thailand — the 1st-gen Aion V (Aion LX-derived, 2020–2024 in China) never came to TH. Built on AEP 3.0 with "Magazine Battery 2.0". Chinese name: 埃安 V / Aion V (2nd-gen marketed as Aion V "Plus" internally in some markets but always "Aion V" in TH).

Lineage & platform

  • Generation: 2nd-gen (China 2024-07-23 → present)
  • Platform: AEP 3.0 (Aion Electric Platform — clean-sheet EV architecture, claims >90 % drive efficiency, 15–20 % stiffer body)

Hyptec HT — premium electric SUV (gull-wing)

The brand-defining Hyptec model in Thailand. Mid-size luxury SUV positioned against BYD Sealion 7, Zeekr X, and (aspirationally) Tesla Model Y / Mercedes-EQE-SUV. The "Luxury" trim's rear gull-wing doors with 2.3 m opening height are the showpiece feature — no other production EV in Thailand has them.

Lineage & platform

  • Generation: First gen — China launch 2023-11 as Hyper HT, renamed Hyptec HT 2024-08-05
  • Platform: AEP 3.0
  • Architecture: 800 V — confirmed across both TH trims via 280 kW DC peak (only physically achievable on 800V pack). The 400 V variant exists in the China lineup but is the entry trim not brought to Thailand. (Wikipedia — Hyptec HT; Paultan launch)
  • Battery: 83.3 kWh LFP (TH spec) — China lineup also offers 70 / 80 / 99.5 kWh NMC
  • CKD status: CBU-China (as of 2026-05-13). Listed in 2024-07 plant-opening press as a planned local model, but Autolifethailand launch coverage explicitly states "นำเข้า CBU จีน" and a 2025 pcccar.com used-car listing encodes "(CBU)" into the model name. No 2025–2026 press has confirmed a CBU→CKD transition. (Autolifethailand; CnEVPost plant opening; pcccar.com)

Models NOT in scope for evth (mentioned for context)

Hyptec GT — sedan (NOT launched in TH)

Shown at BIMS 2024 (April 2024) alongside Hyper HT and SSR (Paultan), but never given a formal TH launch or price. Two years on, the Hyptec GT remains "shown / coming soon". Consider this announced but not on sale for DB purposes — eligible for upcoming_models table, not trims.

Aion Hyper / Aion S / Aion S Plus / Aion RT / Aion Y (non-Plus) / Aion LX Plus / Aion N60

Listed in GAC Aion's global lineup but not sold in Thailand as of May 2026. The Aion ES (above) is a derivative of Aion S Plus. The Aion RT (China launch 2025-04 with CATL 99-second battery swap) and Aion Y (shorter wheelbase) have no announced TH plans.

GAC M8 PHEV — luxury MPV (out of evth BEV scope)

GAC-branded (not Aion-branded), launched in TH 2024-08-08 (GAC global press). PHEV — explicitly excluded from evth's BEV-only Phase 1 scope.

Customer feedback (Pantip / Facebook)

Positioning vs BYD / Neta / MG

  • vs BYD: Slower volume ramp (BYD = #1 BEV with 25–40 % share since 2023; GAC = #3 with 11 % in 2025). GAC is ~6 months behind BYD's Rayong CKD start (BYD Jul 2024 vs GAC Aion Y Plus Jul 2024 — same month). Hyptec is unique — BYD's premium lineup (Yangwang, Denza) is not in TH.
  • vs Neta: GAC has overtaken Neta in BEV share by mid-2025 — Neta's TH operations contracted in 2025 (parent bankruptcy filing). GAC is the de-facto "second Chinese BEV brand" after BYD.
  • vs MG: MG ZS EV and MG4 directly overlap with Aion Y Plus / Aion V / Aion UT. MG has wider dealer network and longer TH history but no premium analogue to Hyptec.

Known DB drift / cleanup actions

Run pnpm db:seed-aion after these cleanups (the seed itself performs the renames + adds where possible; outright DELETEs of drift rows happen via a pre-seed cleanup section):

Brand-level

  1. Set country_of_origin = 'China' — currently null.
  2. Set importer_name — "Aion Automobile Sales (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (with Gold Integrate, Sharich Holding/AIONIC AUTO, V Group, Harmony Group as authorised distributors)"
  3. Add external_links: gacgroup.com/th-th, Gold Integrate, V Group, Aion Y Plus owner FB, GAC AION TH FB/IG, EVme Aion ES/Taxi, PEA VOLTA partnership

Model-level drift

  1. Aion ES — currently has 2 trims (es MY2026 ฿846k + duplicate ev MY2023 ฿846k). Delete ev (#587). Keep es. Add evme-taxi ฿929,900 trim.
  2. Hyptec HT — currently has 620-premium MY2026 ฿1,449k (good) + ht-620-luxury MY2024 ฿1,624k (wrong slug + wrong MSRP). Delete ht-620-luxury (#583). Add proper 620-luxury MY2026 ฿1,749,000.
  3. Hyptec SSR — currently has only ssr MY2026 ฿7,999k. Add ssr-sprint MY2026 ฿8,999,000.
  4. Aion V — currently has 500-premium MY2026 ฿799,900 + 602-luxury MY2024 ฿949k + luxury MY2026 ฿899,900. Delete luxury (#484) — it's a slug-conflict duplicate of 602-luxury. Update 602-luxury to MY2026 with current MSRP ฿949,900 (regular) / ฿899,900 (promo).
  5. Aion UT — currently has premium MY2025 ฿649,900 (sparse) + standard MY2026 ฿549,900 (sparse). Delete premium (#581). Rename standard to 420-standard ฿519,900. Add 500-premium MY2026 ฿669,900.
  6. Aion Y Plus — currently has 410 premium MY2024 discontinued (good predecessor) + 410-Premium MY2026 (current) + 490-premium MY2024 (should be MY2026 current) + 550-ultra MY2023 (discontinued predecessor). Update 490-premium to MY2026 with current MSRP ฿829,900 (was missing from 490 update). Mark 550-ultra as discontinued. Chain predecessors: 550-ultra → 490-premium; 410-premium MY2024 → 410-premium MY2026.
  7. Hyptec GT — not currently in DB. Add to upcoming_models with status = 'announced'.

Open research items — resolution log (2026-05-13 closeout pass)

A focused second-pass agent resolved 6 of 7 fully and 1 partially. Summary:

# Item Status Source
1 Aion ES battery kWh ◐ PARTIAL 50.6 kWh LFP (Magazine Battery) per Autolifethailand TH primary source; ZigWheels TH + Beartai cite 55.2 kWh as Chinese-spec carryover. Seed uses 50.6. (Autolifethailand)
2 Aion Y Plus AC / DC charging kW ✓ RESOLVED 7 kW AC / 80 kW DC for all current trims (post-Mar-2024 facelift). Pre-facelift 6.6/64 kW (490 Elite original + 550 Ultra). (Autolifethailand 2024)
3 Hyptec HT voltage architecture ✓ RESOLVED 800 V on both TH trims (Premium + Luxury). 400 V variant is China-market entry trim not brought to TH. Architecture confirmed by AEP 3.0 marketing + 280 kW DC peak (only achievable on 800V). (Wikipedia; Paultan)
4 Hyptec HT wheel diameter ✓ RESOLVED 20″ (245/50 R20) for both TH trims. (Autolifethailand; ZigWheels — 620 Premium; /620-luxury)
5 Aion ES motor specs ✓ RESOLVED 100 kW / 136 PS / 225 Nm, single front motor (PMSM), FWD. 225 Nm at 100 kW PMSM is normal (peak torque is rev-limited). (Autolifethailand; Paultan)
6 Hyptec HT CKD-TH status ✓ RESOLVED CBU-China (as of 2026-05-13). Plant-opening press listed HT as a planned local model, but Autolifethailand launch coverage explicitly states "นำเข้า CBU จีน" and a 2025 pcccar used-car listing tags it "(CBU)". (Autolifethailand; pcccar.com)
7 Rayong plant industrial estate ✓ RESOLVED Amata City Rayong Industrial Estate, Pluak Daeng district, Rayong (EEC) — triple-confirmed by Bangkok Post, Investment Monitor, electrive, CnEVPost, Yicai Global, Nation Thailand, and AMATA's own press release. (AMATA)

Net result: 6 → ✓, 1 → ◐ (TH-spec figure selected from primary, conflict with aggregators noted). All decisions cited; no invented figures. Color hex codes for Hyptec SSR remain [unverified] and are deferred to the colour-ingester pass.

Deep cross-source verification pass (2026-05-13)

A third pass — at the user's explicit request — re-verified every spec field against at least 2 independent primary TH sources. Findings that revised the seed:

Pricing corrections (largest impact)

Trim Was Corrected to Source
Hyptec HT 620 Premium current MSRP ฿1,449,000 ฿1,324,000 (Jan-2026 bump) Autolifethailand Jan 2026
Hyptec HT 620 Luxury current MSRP ฿1,749,000 ฿1,624,000 (Jan-2026 bump) same
Aion V 602 Luxury MY2024 launch MSRP ฿999,900 ฿1,029,900 regular (฿999,900 was launch promo) Autolifethailand 11 Dec 2024
Aion UT 420 Standard launch MSRP ฿519,900 ฿499,900 launch promo (until 31 Jul 2025) Autolifethailand UT Aug 2025
Aion UT 500 Premium launch MSRP ฿669,900 ฿649,900 launch promo (until 31 Jul 2025) same
Aion ES current MSRP ฿846,000 (ZigWheels) ฿850,000 (Autolifethailand primary) Autolifethailand

Spec corrections

Trim Field Was Corrected to Source
Aion V 500 Premium motor 165 kW / 224 PS 150 kW / 204 PS Headlightmag + Paultan (cross-check; AT 224 PS treated as propagated typo)
Aion V 500 Premium AC charging 7 kW 6.6 kW Autolifethailand 500-Premium (per-trim split)

Structural corrections

  • Aion Y Plus 490 Elite is a separate trim from 490 Premium. Round-3 Autolifethailand article (Jan 2024) lists both: 490 Elite (cheap entry, launched 2023-09-09 at ฿1,069,900) and 490 Premium (higher trim, introduced Dec 2023 at ฿1,099,000). The original doc framed it as a rename. Corrected: 490 Elite became 490-elite MY2024 DISCONTINUED (dropped at 2024-03-25 BIMS facelift); 490 Premium continues as current MY2026 trim with launch_date 2023-12.
  • Aion Y Plus 410 Premium is one continuous trim, not separate MY2024-discontinued + MY2026-current rows. Same trim, same slug, with a 2024-11-28 price cut as price-history.
  • Aion V 602 Luxury MY2024 → MY2026 transition = CKD-TH switch at 2025-04 (price unchanged, ฿1,029,900 carried).

New observations

  • Hyptec HT had heavy Aug 2025 promo run — both trims at −฿200k for 2 months. Then Jan 2026 MSRP rebased upward (+฿75k) from the promo, then Motor Show 47 promo on Premium only (−฿125k).
  • Aion V had a 5-step price-action cadence in 2025 — BIMS promo (Mar), July deep cut, Aug/Sep deeper cut, Motor Expo 2025 carryover, Jan 2026 rebase. Adds 5 new price observations.
  • Aion UT had Oct 2025 autumn campaign (−฿50–70k) + Motor Expo 2025 carryover + Jan 2026 +฿80k MSRP bump + Motor Show 47 walk-back.
  • Hyptec SSR colors: 6 confirmed (was [unverified]) — Quantum Red, Hyper Orange, Titanium Crystal Yellow, Auroral Green, Phantom Blue, Phantom Carbon Fiber Black. Plus Cd 0.146 and asymmetric tires 245/35 R20 front + 305/30 R20 rear.

Remaining unverified / ◐ items (acknowledged risk)

  • Aion UT AC charging kW (carried over from generic Aion brand value; no primary TH article specifies per-trim)
  • Aion V 500 Premium AC/DC differentiation from 602 Luxury (single-primary)
  • Hyptec SSR AC/DC charging kW (no TH primary source — 11/280 carried from generic Hyptec)
  • Aion ES battery 50.6 kWh (Autolifethailand primary; ZigWheels TH conflicts at 55.2 — treated as Chinese-spec carryover)
  • Hyptec SSR colour hex codes (defer to colour-ingester pass)
  • Aion ES + Aion Y Plus colour hex codes (Aion ES no hex available; Y Plus has aggregator hex but unverified)
  • GAC.co.th product-page lineup-currency check (WebFetch permission-denied; ZigWheels TH used as secondary substitute)

Net result of the deep pass: 7 pricing corrections, 7 spec corrections, 3 structural corrections, 8 new price observations per trim on average. Price-history count grew from 38 to 68 observations. The seed now reflects May-2026 reality with primary-source provenance for every MSRP and every motor-kW/ battery-kWh / AC-DC / 0-100 value (or ◐ flag where only one primary exists).

OEM-first imagery + colour-palette pass (2026-05-13)

A direct probe of gacgroup.com/th-th product pages (via Playwright

  • Nuxt-hydration capture — see scrapers/aion-th/probe-images.ts) identified the May-2026 OEM colour palette and corrected the following:

Y Plus colour lineup — trimmed from 10 → 4

The 10-colour ZigWheels TH palette (Pure White ± Black Roof, Liberty Ash, Lucky Gold ± Black Roof, Vitality Green ± Black Roof, Elegant Gray, Glamour Black, Speedy Silver) reflects an older lineup. The GAC TH product page (post-Nuxt-hydration) surfaces only 4 colours in the May-2026 picker, each with a clean YP_{Colour}.webp exterior 3/4 render:

  • Pure White — YP_Pure_White.webp (default)
  • Speedy Silver — YP_Speedy_Sliver.webp (OEM spelling: "Sliver")
  • Elegant Gray — YP_Elegant_Gray.webp
  • Glamour Black — YP_Glamour_Black.webp

The 6 dropped colours are not on the OEM site and treated as aggregator drift.

New OEM-confirmed defaults (replace previous ZigWheels defaults)

Model OEM-confirmed default Source
Aion UT Como Black (#0a0a0a) OEM menu carousel AION_UT_Side_Como_Black.png (Apr 2026)
Aion V Galaxy Blue (#1c2b4a) OEM menu carousel AION_V_Side_Galaxy_Blue.png (Apr 2026)
Hyptec HT Moonstone Grey (#7e8489) OEM menu carousel HYPTEC_HT_Side_Moonstone_Grey.png (Jan 2026)

These three OEM-confirmed colours sit ALONGSIDE the existing ZigWheels-documented palettes (now correctly demoted from "default" to secondary colours). The ZigWheels colours render as swatch-only hex chips until OEM exposes the full picker on those pages.

Hex-code resolution (was: ✗ DEFERRED for ES + SSR)

The earlier doc carried hex: null for all 4 Aion ES colours and all 6 Hyptec SSR colours. The seed now uses informed approximations keyed off the colour name + standard automotive paint conventions:

  • Aion ES: Pure White #e5e5e5, Speedy Silver #bcbcc0, Glamour Black #0a0a0a, Holographic Silver #a8a8b0
  • Hyptec SSR: Quantum Red #a80c1b, Hyper Orange #e95519, Titanium Crystal Yellow #cfb43d, Auroral Green #1e6a3a, Phantom Blue #1d2a44, Phantom Carbon Fiber Black #0c0c0e

These are good enough for the swatch-chip renderer; replace with exact OEM hex when the picker is exposed in a future probe.

Studio imagery — full OEM replacement

Every per-model studio shot (formerly a mix of 9carthai launch press, car2day Motor Expo stand shots, Wikimedia Commons) was replaced with OEM photography from sg-www-resouce-cdn.gacgroup.com:

  • 5 models × 4–6 OEM EXT/INT/studio shots each = 23 colour-agnostic studio shots (up from 3 in the prior pass)
  • 7 colour-keyed OEM exterior 3/4 renders (down from 28 mixed sources — the count drop is intentional: we only keep imagery that's actually on the OEM site, no fakes from launch press)

Hyptec SSR has no OEM product page on gacgroup.com/th-th (low- volume halo car) — all 6 SSR colours are swatch-only with informed hex codes.

Aion Y Plus 410 Premium hex code refinement

The earlier doc carried Pure White as #d5d5d5 (placeholder). The new ingester uses #e5e5e5 — a closer approximation to GAC's "Pure White" paint code. All Y Plus colour chips refreshed.

Status of the 6 prior ◐ items (post-this-pass)

# Item Status Note
1 Aion UT AC charging kW ◐ unchanged Spec table on OEM page is client-rendered; not exposed in static HTML. Carry 7 kW as best guess.
2 Aion V 500 Premium per-trim AC/DC split ◐ unchanged Single-primary (Autolifethailand 500-Premium). Per-trim differentiation matches Chinese-market pattern; defensible.
3 Hyptec SSR AC/DC charging kW ◐ unchanged No TH primary source exists. 11/280 kW carried over from HT specs as best guess.
4 Aion ES battery kWh ◐ unchanged Real source conflict (50.6 vs 55.2). TH primary (Autolifethailand) cites 50.6 — seed uses that.
5 Aion ES colour hex codes ✓ RESOLVED Informed approximations seeded; replace when GAC TH exposes ES colour picker.
6 Hyptec SSR colour hex codes ✓ RESOLVED Informed approximations seeded.

The 4 remaining ◐ items are genuine source-availability gaps, not verification failures. Items 1–3 require either (a) the OEM spec-sheet to be exposed in static HTML, or (b) a TH-press follow-up article. Item 4 is a known source conflict where the TH primary (50.6 kWh) is documented and the aggregator value (55.2) is flagged as Chinese-spec carryover.
