On November 7, GAC Indonesia held the AION i60 launch event in Jakarta. In attendance were Andrew Nasuri, Board Member of Indomobil Group; Andry Ciu, CEO of GAC Indonesia; Santiko Wardoyo, CEO of Indonesian dealer PT Indomobil Wahana Trada; Shane Ling, Product General Manager of Hyptec Aion BU; Masato Katsumata, CTO of GAC International; and Andi Wang, COO of GAC International Indonesia. Together with local media, partners and customer representatives, they witnessed the debut of the AION i60 in Southeast Asia — the first time the model enters the regional market in a right-hand-drive configuration.
As a key step in GAC Group's deepening presence in Indonesia, the launch of the AION i60 not only enriches GAC's local new energy product matrix but also reflects its long-term approach of rooting in the market and growing together. The model is already locally assembled in Indonesia, and alongside product introduction, GAC is further participating in Indonesia's automotive manufacturing ecosystem and industrial system. For GAC, Indonesia is both an important strategic market and a key pivot for demonstrating its product, manufacturing and service capabilities to right-hand-drive markets across Southeast Asia.
At the event, GAC presented the development philosophy behind the AION i60. Masato Katsumata noted that GAC's understanding of vehicle quality goes beyond technology and specifications alone — it runs through engineering development, material selection and the user's full-lifecycle experience. The AION i60 unifies comfort, safety and reliability in one vehicle, responding to user needs through engineering prowess and meticulous attention to detail. Indonesia is a strategic market for GAC, and the company will continue to grow with local consumers through product and service innovation.

This development philosophy is embodied in the theme of "GAC Listens." At its core is listening carefully to user needs — understanding the genuine expectations of local markets and consumers — and using that listening to continuously refine products and services. Andry Ciu noted that different mobility scenarios call for different needs, and every consumer has their own expectations of a vehicle. By continuously listening to users and gaining insight into local needs, GAC has brought these varied requirements together into the AION i60 — an "all-around” vehicle designed to deliver not just a driving experience, but comfort, peace of mind and confidence throughout the entire journey.

In terms of market performance, the AION i60 has already built a solid user base in China. Monthly sales have exceeded 10,000 units for ten consecutive months, with cumulative deliveries reaching 100,000 units within 11 months of launch. In China Automotive Quality Research, it ranks among the top in categories including comfort, ease of use and driving experience. These insights provide a reference point for the AION i60's entry into Southeast Asia, helping GAC more precisely understand regional users' practical needs for space, comfort, safety and reliability.
Centered on the slogan "Made for E-quality," created specifically for this launch and the AION i60, the vehicle's product strength is built on four core pillars: design, comfort, safety and reliability. The slogan emphasizes dedication to the highest standards of electric vehicle quality, bringing safe, reliable and comfortable EV quality to users. In terms of design, the vehicle measures 4,685 mm in length, 1,854 mm in width and 1,660 mm in height, with a 2,775 mm wheelbase — optimizing cabin space while maintaining the proportions and dynamic stance of a modern SUV. In terms of comfort, the effective cabin length exceeds three meters, with rear legroom of 1,037 mm and headroom of 1,020 mm. Seats use eight layers of cushioning material, with the front seats offering eight-point massage, ventilation, heating, power adjustment and memory function; the rear seatbacks recline to a maximum of 137 degrees with stepless 20-degree adjustment. The cabin also features an integrated refrigerator, and a spare tire comes as standard, addressing practical needs for both daily commuting and long-distance travel. Trunk capacity is 658 L, expanding to 1,876 L with the rear seats folded. A 15.6-inch 2.5K-resolution display runs the ADiGO 6.0 system and offers scene modes including Nap Mode and Pet Mode.
In terms of safety, the AION i60 adopts a cage body structure with 72% high-strength steel, while the core cabin structure uses 1,500 MPa hot-stamped steel, equipped with six airbags and GAC Magazine Battery 2.0 technology. The battery has passed rigorous tests including water immersion, bottom impact and sharp-object penetration. The vehicle also features 15 L2-level ADAS functions, including adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, forward collision warning, blind spot detection, lane departure warning and rear cross-traffic alert — providing comprehensive protection from body structure to active safety.
Exterior and interior details of the AION i60
In terms of reliability, the AION i60 is powered by a 75-kWh battery with NEDC range of over 602 km. 3C fast charging can replenish from 30% to 70% in approximately 15 minutes under specific test conditions. Based on GAC's internal testing parameters, the battery supports 3,000 charge cycles, equivalent to approximately 1.5 million km of driving. The combination of battery technology, safety systems and charging efficiency forms the foundation of GAC's reliable EVs for modern mobility needs.
Beyond the product itself, GAC Indonesia is simultaneously building its after-sales and service system — covering battery, motor and vehicle warranties, roadside assistance, mobile service and energy replenishment support to ensure long-term ownership. According to plans, GAC Indonesia will launch a series of Drive Experience test drive events in November and showcase the AION i60 at the 2026 GAIKINDO Jakarta Auto Week, giving media and the public a more direct experience of the vehicle's capabilities.
Starting from Indonesia, the right-hand-drive debut of the AION i60 is more than a regional introduction of a new vehicle — it is a concentrated demonstration of GAC's progress in localized manufacturing, product adaptation and service system building across Southeast Asia. Looking ahead, GAC will continue to listen to users through "GAC Listens," gain insight into local needs, and create synergy across design, comfort, safety and reliability, delivering electric mobility solutions that better fit real-world scenarios for consumers in Indonesia and Southeast Asia, while participating in the high-quality development of the regional automotive industry through long-term commitment.
