Helsinki, Finland — September 30, 2025:
GAC Group has officially launched its AION V electric SUV in Finland, marking a pivotal moment in the company’s ambitious strategy to establish a strong presence in the European electric vehicle (EV) market. The launch, which took place on September 23, 2025, is the latest step in GAC’s European Market Plan, following recent entries into Poland and Portugal. Finland, with its commitment to sustainability and growing interest in clean energy, offers an ideal market for GAC to further expand its footprint in the Nordic region.
The AION V is poised to become a major contender in the European EV market, thanks to its advanced technology, impressive safety features, and affordability. A standout feature of the vehicle is its 2025 Euro NCAP five-star safety rating, which underscores GAC's commitment to providing safe, reliable, and environmentally-friendly vehicles. The SUV also offers a 510 km WLTP range, ensuring long-distance travel without the worry of range anxiety, a critical factor in a region like the Nordics where charging infrastructure is rapidly expanding.
Additionally, the AION V supports ultra-fast charging, with the ability to charge from 10% to 80% in just 24 minutes, which complements Finland's growing network of EV charging stations. With its spacious interior, featuring a 2,775-mm wheelbase and a 427-liter trunk, the AION V is well-suited for families and individuals alike, offering both comfort and practicality for various lifestyles.
One of the key selling points for Finnish consumers is the 8-year/160,000 km vehicle warranty and an 8-year/200,000 km battery warranty, which provide confidence in the long-term reliability of the vehicle and help to reduce the overall cost of ownership. These warranties, combined with GAC’s commitment to delivering high-quality, sustainable mobility solutions, make the AION V an attractive option in a competitive market.
This launch is a critical step for GAC in its efforts to reshape the European automotive landscape, especially as the company continues its collaboration with Inchcape, a global leader in automotive distribution and retail. The strategic partnership will allow GAC to leverage Inchcape’s extensive network in Europe, beginning with Finland and expanding to other countries across the continent. The partnership underscores the growing importance of international alliances as automakers race to secure their place in the rapidly-evolving EV sector.
GAC’s expansion into Finland also reflects a broader trend of increased investment in sustainable transportation across Europe. By 2028, GAC plans to have full market coverage across Europe, supported by an expanded service network and an increased focus on channel development and industrial integration. As GAC continues to push for greater access to clean, affordable transportation, it’s well-positioned to become a key player in electric mobility and to help accelerate Europe’s transition to a more sustainable future.
With its innovative technology, strong safety credentials, and affordable pricing, the AION V is set to play a significant role in the future of electric transportation in Finland and beyond. As GAC strengthens its presence across Europe, it is on track to deliver a distinctive mobility experience that appeals to European consumers’ growing demand for sustainable, high-performance vehicles.
