Starting January 1, 2024, or the New Year's Day just passed, GAC AION has officially announced a recommended retail price adjustment for the popular AION Y Plus 490 Premium model in Thailand, reducing the price by more than 100,000 Baht from the regular price of 1,099,900 Baht to just 995,900 Baht (customers who book the car within 2023 will also receive this discount). GAC AION is the first brand to offer a New Year gift discount to customers during the New Year period, which has garnered significant attention from the media and consumers.

Meanwhile, GAC AION's success has been remarkable. On December 28, GAC AION broke the record for automotive sales growth with over 480,000 units sold in 2023, an increase of more than 77% year-on-year.

The rapid growth and overwhelming sales of GAC AION have driven us to continuously innovate in technology over the years. With a robust network of research and development centers across various countries, effective organizational cost control, and a strong supply chain system, along with a world-class environmentally friendly smart car manufacturing plant and high-quality, efficient production methods, GAC AION is ready to advance to the next level.

Thai media believes that “the official recommended retail price adjustment by GAC AION this time will significantly enhance the competitiveness of the AION Y Plus 490 Premium in the market, making it the most valuable electric SUV priced at 1 million Baht, especially with the promotional adjustments for electric vehicles that may force some competing brands to raise their prices.”

This price adjustment has received a very positive response from Thai consumers, with one customer stating, “The price reduction by GAC AION not only targets new users but also covers customers who booked in 2023. This price adjustment makes customers feel very secure, and we are looking forward to the overwhelming sales of the AION Y Plus 490 Premium.”

GAC AION thanks all the trust and support from Thai consumers and millions of others worldwide. GAC AION's main mission is to create high-quality electric vehicles that meet the diverse lifestyles of consumers globally. In 2024, GAC AION will continue to implement its investment strategy in Thailand.

Currently, GAC AION is fully committed to developing production, sales, and service systems in Thailand. GAC AION has established a factory in Thailand, located in the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) project area in Rayong, with a total investment of 2.3 billion Baht. The construction of the GAC AION electric vehicle manufacturing plant in Thailand will be divided into two phases, with the first phase having a production capacity of 20,000 units per year and the second phase increasing to 50,000 units. The first phase is expected to be completed in July this year.

Reports indicate that in 2024, GAC AION will launch several new vehicle models into the market. With the opening of the new factory and continuous product launches, GAC AION will offer a wider range of vehicle options to Thai consumers and provide modern green transportation solutions to create a better life together with AI.
