GAC NE, Guangzhou Auto’s New Energy brand for the Chinese market and an intended Tesla competitor, has announced the sales launch of the Aion V. This new crossover will feature a ternary lithium battery pack and Huawei’s 5G + V2X intelligent communication system.

The Aion V has angular lines and a low roof, both being contrasts to what other EV makers in this size segment, such as Geely and Tesla, already offer or plan to offer. Inside, there is a fully digital dashboard, the obligatory two-spoke steering wheel which so many vehicles now feature, and seating for five occupants.
