Battery Capacity: 61.54 kWh
The GAC Aion Y is powered by GAC's proprietary "Magazine Battery" technology, featuring Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) chemistry. This 61.54 kWh pack is engineered with high-temperature resistance and a specialized layout to enhance safety and energy density. In the Nepali market, this battery setup allows the vehicle to achieve a range of approximately 500 km under NEDC testing conditions, making it highly competitive for both city commutes and long-distance travel.
Max Power: 100 kW (134 bhp / 136 PS)
Equipped with a Front-Mounted Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM), the Aion Y delivers a consistent 100 kW of power. While the Aion Y Plus variants in international markets sometimes feature a 150 kW motor, the standard Aion Y configuration emphasizes efficiency and smooth power delivery, providing ample performance for a compact electric SUV without compromising battery longevity.
Max Torque: 225 Nm
As is characteristic of electric powertrains, the Aion Y provides 225 Nm of instantaneous torque. This allows for effortless overtaking and a punchy response from a standstill. The torque is managed through an intelligent electronic control system that prevents wheel spin while ensuring the vehicle feels agile in stop-and-go urban traffic.
0-100 km/h Time: 7.9 Seconds
Despite its boxy, practical shape, the Aion Y boasts an impressive acceleration time of 7.9 seconds to reach 100 km/h. This performance is largely attributed to the GEP 2.0 (GAC Electric Platform) dedicated EV architecture, which optimizes weight distribution and motor efficiency to provide a surprisingly sporty feel.
Top Speed: 150 km/h
The vehicle is electronically limited to a top speed of 150 km/h. This limit is set to preserve battery efficiency and motor health, as high-speed cruising in EVs significantly increases energy consumption. The 150 km/h threshold is more than sufficient for highway regulations in most regions including Nepal's expressways.
