On November 1, GAC Aion announced that the Haobo Aion BU achieved sales of 42,357 vehicles in October, maintaining positive growth against the trend for eight consecutive months. Official data show that the sales volume increased by 56.79% year-on-year and 19.33% month-on-month. This news was released by GAC Aion on November 1 and became a concentrated reflection of the brand's market performance for the month.
From a background perspective, the Haobo Aion BU has achieved positive growth for eight consecutive months, and October sales achieved both year-on-year and month-on-month growth. With monthly sales of 42,357 vehicles, year-on-year growth exceeded 50%, and month-on-month growth was close to 20%. The consecutive positive growth and the year-on-year and month-on-month data together constitute the core information of the brand's October sales.
Official sources also stated that the Aion Ray7 will be officially launched on November 12 at the Shanghai Yangtze River Delta International Esports Culture Center. The car had previously opened pre-sales on October 17, with a pre-sale price starting at 128,800 yuan. The announcement of the launch time and pre-sale arrangements makes Ray7 an important product for GAC Aion in the next stage.
Pre-sale information shows that Ray7 offers pricing for five variants: the 530 Rear-Wheel-Drive Driving Fun Edition at 128,800 yuan; the 530 Rear-Wheel-Drive LiDAR Edition at 138,800 yuan; the 702 Rear-Wheel-Drive Driving Fun CATL Edition at 138,800 yuan; the 702 Rear-Wheel-Drive LiDAR CATL Edition at 148,800 yuan; and the 702 Rear-Wheel-Drive EMB LiDAR CATL Edition at 158,800 yuan. The price range covers 128,800 yuan to 158,800 yuan, with different versions differentiated in range and configuration.
In terms of body dimensions, the Ray7 measures 4960Γ1900Γ1455 mm in length, width and height, with a wheelbase of 2920 mm. The cabin is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295P cockpit chip and a 15.6-inch 2.5K high-definition central control screen, supporting full coverage of smartphone-vehicle connectivity. These configuration details were announced during the pre-sale stage and constitute an important part of the new car's product information.
In terms of power, the car is equipped with Huawei DriveONE multi-in-one electric drive, combined with Aion's all-new thermal management system and a 28-in-1 thermal management module. Official data show that its CLTC electricity consumption per 100 km is 9.7 kWh, and CLTC pure electric range exceeds 700 km. The relevant parameters have become one of the focal points of Ray7 during the pre-sale stage.
Against the backdrop of October sales increasing by 56.79% year-on-year, the launch of Ray7 will further enrich GAC Aion's product matrix. Whether the new car can continue the brand's growth momentum will depend on market feedback after launch. GAC Aion has clearly defined the launch time and location of the new car, and subsequent performance remains to be observed.
