Not every unfamiliar new brand gains traction in the UK market these days, but some look more likely to succeed than others. AION seems to be going about establishing itself in the UK the right way and the AION V seems like a decent first stab at the current sales sweet spot in the EV market, that for aspirational mid-sized electric crossovers.
Thanks to the fundamental Toyota influence in this design, the engineering here is largely a known quantity. And all the key boxes seem to have been ticked in terms of drive range, cabin space, equipment, safety and warranty. But isn't AION arriving somewhat late to the party here? The brand thinks not, claiming to have watched and waited until the time was right. But is the product right too? It'll be interesting to see if you think so.
