GAC Aion Y Plus Malaysia pricing, colourways, warranty

WTCA has officially confirmed that Aion Y Plus is available in two variants for our market. Here’s the pricing for each of them:

• Aion Y Plus Elite: RM119,800
• Aion Y Plus Premium: RM135,800

Customers can obtain the new EV with a total of 35 colour combinations. This is because the Aion Y Plus has 7 colour options alongside 5 different interior colours.

The Aion Y Plus is protected by an 8-year / 160,000km warranty just for the vehicle alone. The EV’s high-voltage battery, drive motor, and electric control are also covered by a separate 8-year / 200,000km warranty.

Deliveries will begin in June starting with the Y Plus Elite while the higher-end Premium version will be delivered to customers starting from July.

Meanwhile, the first 200 customers will receive a free 7kW home wall box charger and RM1,000 JomCharge charging credits. At the same time, customers can choose between two accessories packs which come in the form of an Outdoor Adventure Lifestyle Set and a “Me-Time” Mobile Theatre set.

GAC Aion Y Plus Malaysia quick specs

Regardless of the variant that you choose, the Aion Y Plus in Malaysia comes standard with a 150kW (201hp) electric motor that also produces 225Nm of torque. WTCA also confirmed that the Malaysian variant has 0-100km/h timing of 8.5 seconds.

Both variants have also been equipped with a 63.2kWh battery pack. In terms of range, GAC Aion claimed that the Aion Y Plus is able to deliver up to 490km of range although this figure is based on a more lenient NEDC standard. Under the WLTP standard, the rated range is much lower at 430km.

Aion Y Plus in Malaysia is also equipped with a 6.6kW onboard AC charger and can support DC charging of up to 80kW. It is also the latest EV in the market that can support EVC’s Autocharge feature which allows Aion Y Plus owners to simply plug and charge their vehicle at selected JomCharge chargers without using any app.

Divers find remains of Finnish WWII plane that was shot down by Moscow with a US diplomat aboard
The World War II mystery of what happened to a Finnish passenger plane after it was shot down over the Baltic Sea by Soviet bombers appears to finally be solved more than eight decades later. The plane was carrying American and French diplomatic couriers in June 1940 when it was downed just days before Moscow annexed the Baltic states. All nine people on board the plane were killed, including the two-member Finnish crew and the seven passengers — an American diplomat, two French, two Germans, a Swede and a dual Estonian-Finnish national.
