Post-90s generation is known for their distinctive personalities, and this applies to how they approach life and family as well. When it comes to taking care of their children, they always prioritize making their kids happy while also ensuring that they don’t neglect themselves. They believe in the idea that a 3-year-old child should not be able to overpower a 30-year-old, so for them, a perfect stroller is one that can both take care of the child and be stylish enough for a day out. This is exactly what the Aion AION S MAX, the stroller we are experiencing today, offers for them.
In terms of appearance, the AION S MAX inherits the excellent genes of the previous AION S, and can even be said to be “the icing on the cake”. The front face of the AION S MAX adopts a split-type headlight design, with four light strips radiating from the center of the front face, and is equipped with a large closed front face, which is full of technological sense and highly recognizable. At the same time, the front bumper has been upgraded to further enhance the overall vehicle’s recognition.
On the side of the car, the body profile and lines of AION S MAX are consistent with AION S Plus, with a dynamic and smooth waistline design, the overall streamlined body still has a very rounded feeling. The rear part of the car adopts a through-type taillight, with the “AION” letter logo in the middle, distinct layers. Paired with the flowing ripple taillights, it achieves a good unity with the front face.
In addition, the hub also adopts a brand-new style, full of sportiness, but it is matched with the Senkei tires, which are indeed more niche. In terms of size, the length, width, and height of the AION S MAX are 4863mm*1890mm*1515mm, with a wheelbase of 2760mm, ensuring a spacious seating space inside the car.
From the overall design style, the AION S MAX presents a clean and sporty look, which is very in line with the visual perception of pure electric vehicles. This design is very appealing to the independent but low-key nature of the “post-90s” generation.
The spacious and flat trunk space of AION S MAX can easily accommodate the luggage of a family, such as clothes for adults and children, commonly used tents for travel, and folding tables and chairs, enhancing its practicality.
Unlike the AION S PLUS, the AION S MAX has significantly improved seat functionality. The AION S MAX adds a flat mode, where the front seats can be folded down to seamlessly connect with the rear seats, creating a lying chair mode, increasing the possibility of using more interior space, such as taking a nap or traveling with children.
In terms of technology, the AION S MAX is equipped with voice control for the car, allowing users to control the air conditioning, audio system, windows, and seat ventilation with their voice, providing more convenience and safety for travel.
In terms of intelligent driving assistance, the two high-end models of AION S MAX are equipped with L2 level driving assistance functions, including automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assistance, and other functions to ensure the safety of passengers and children during travel. The 70 Star Edition model offers optional upgrades, but the model we experienced that day only had the basic cruise control function.
The AION S MAX features the latest ADiGo 4.5 smart entertainment system from GAC, which provides children with music, movies, games, and other entertainment content during the journey, making the trip more enjoyable. At the same time, you can also use smart devices to play educational content, providing learning opportunities for children.
As a smart car, essential skills include support for mobile phone projection and Bluetooth connection, allowing content from your phone to be displayed on the central control screen, making it easy for you and your children to share media content. For female drivers, features such as automatic parking in the AION S MAX are definitely a bonus for travel, making parking more convenient and efficient.
As for power and endurance, the AION S MAX is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous drive motor across the entire lineup. Except for the top-of-the-line model, the maximum power of all other models is 150 kilowatts, with an official acceleration time of 7.5 seconds per hundred kilometers. The top-of-the-line 80 Star Edition model has a maximum power of 180 kilowatts, with an official acceleration time of 6.7 seconds per hundred kilometers. This acceleration can easily handle carrying children and also satisfy the self-needs of the “post-90s” trendy parents.
In terms of endurance, in order to save car owners from the hassle of frequent charging and to meet the needs of long-distance outings, AION S MAX has the strongest 610km pure electric endurance in its class, allowing the vehicle to be suitable for commuting to and from work as well as for long-distance outings. In addition, all models support fast charging, and some models also support external power output. In terms of the chassis, AION S MAX uses a torsion beam non-independent suspension for the entire series. Although it is the most basic torsion beam suspension, it does not adopt a single-layer open design, and it also has perforations to reduce torsion, which can increase the stability of the vehicle body in extreme conditions. At the same time, it also has a design with reinforced stabilizer bars.
Guangqi Aion AION S MAX has undergone a comprehensive upgrade in the four major areas of intelligent MAX, appearance MAX, endurance MAX, and comfort MAX, with stronger product capabilities. The class-leading 610km pure electric endurance makes the vehicle meet various needs for urban commuting and long-distance travel. In addition, the starting price of 149,900 yuan (21070$) is also very attractive, coupled with rich configurations, providing a richer choice for the smart travel of “post-90s” trendy dads and hot moms.
