GAC Aion V in Portugal: Price from €29,990, 510 km Range and Full Specs
Published: 16/06/2026
The GAC Aion V has landed in Portugal — and it makes a hard case to ignore
China is home to the world's fourth-largest carmaker, and until recently almost no one in Portugal knew it by name. GAC is already here, under the Aion brand, with its first model: a C-segment electric family SUV offering 510 km of WLTP range, 180 kW charging and eight years of warranty included. The GAC Aion V enters a market already crowded with Chinese rivals, but it arrives with a launch price few can match.
It is represented in Portugal by Grupo JAP, which means an established service network from day one — a detail that matters when you are buying an unfamiliar new brand.
GAC Aion V Portugal price: from €36,888 to a launch deal
The Aion V's recommended price starts at €36,888. But the launch campaign changes the conversation entirely: €29,990 + VAT for fleet and business buyers, putting this family electric SUV under the psychological €30,000 line in a segment where most European rivals ask for well over €40,000.
To put that in context: the VW ID.4, Skoda Enyaq and Tesla Model Y all start clearly higher. The Aion V delivers a bigger, better-equipped car than the price suggests. It is the same playbook Hyundai and Kia ran two decades ago — come in with a lot for a little, and build trust from there.
There is also the Portuguese tax advantage. As a fully electric car, the Aion V is exempt from ISV (the vehicle purchase tax) and benefits from reduced IUC (annual road tax), on top of company-car perks. That makes the real cost of ownership lower than the sticker suggests.
Aion V range and charging: 510 km and 24 minutes
The battery is a 75.3 kWh CATL LFP unit — the most robust and safe chemistry on the market, and one that tolerates frequent charges to 100%. It translates into 510 km WLTP, enough to cover Lisbon to Porto with a comfortable margin to spare.
On DC fast charging, the Aion V accepts up to 180 kW. In practice:
- 10-80% in about 24 minutes
- 30-80% in about 18 minutes
A coffee stop at an A1 service area is enough to top up for the rest of the journey without stress. A heat pump is standard, which helps preserve range in winter — something many cheaper EVs leave out.
These are honest figures. They are not the best in the class — the Renault Scenic reaches 381 miles and the Skoda Elroq 85 hits 372 — but the Aion V makes up ground elsewhere, mainly on price and equipment.

What you get inside
The Aion V does not skimp on standard equipment. It comes with a 14.6-inch central touchscreen, an 8.8-inch digital driver display, a full-length panoramic roof, heated and ventilated front seats, heated reclining rear seats, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless phone charging and a nine-speaker sound system.
Rear space is among the best at this price — limo-like legroom, a flat floor and generously reclining backrests. The boot sits at 500 litres (472 with the seats up), plenty for weekend family logistics.
There are two honest catches. Nearly every control lives inside the touchscreen — including climate, with no physical buttons — which distracts while driving. And there is no glovebox. These are compromises worth testing before you sign.
8-year warranty: the argument that disarms doubt
The biggest hurdle for any Chinese brand in Portugal is not the product — it is trust. Aion tackles that head-on with its "Great 8 Promise", included as standard:
- 8 years / 100,000 miles vehicle warranty
- 8 years / 125,000 miles battery warranty (with a 70% state-of-health threshold)
- 8 years of roadside assistance, servicing and inspections included
All of it transfers to the next owner, is tied to the car itself, and is estimated to save around €2,900 over the eight years versus paying for everything separately. For anyone hesitant about a new brand, this safety net changes the equation — and helps resale too.
Aion V vs BYD Atto 3 and MG: how it stacks up
The Aion V steps into a busy battlefield. Its direct Chinese rivals are the BYD Atto 3, the MG S5 and the Leapmotor B10; on the European side, the VW ID.4, the Skoda Elroq/Enyaq and the Tesla Model Y.
Against the BYD Atto 3, the Aion V is bigger, roomier in the back and offers more range (510 km versus the Atto 3's more modest figures), though the Atto 3 has slightly more power. Against the MG S5, the Aion V plays its standard-equipment and eight-year-warranty cards. And against the Europeans, the argument is simple: price. You get more car for less money.
It is not the sharpest electric SUV to drive nor the longest-legged on range. But for a family that wants space, equipment, honest range and eight years of peace of mind, the Aion V makes a serious case — and a launch deal under €30,000 + VAT makes it hard to turn down.
