Introduction to AION UT's Achievement

On September 2, 2026, Euro NCAP announced its safety ratings for the AION UT, an all-electric hatchback. This innovative vehicle has been awarded an impressive five-star rating, reflecting its exceptional safety features. This rating is applicable to all versions of the vehicle, whether designed for left or right-hand drive.

Overview of Euro NCAP's Evaluation Process

Euro NCAP's assessment for 2026 is built around a revised protocol that evaluates vehicle safety through four key stages: safe driving, accident prevention, protection during an accident, and post-accident safety. This comprehensive framework reviews how a vehicle assists the driver to avoid collisions, protects occupants and other road users during impact, and facilitates rescue operations post-collision.

AION UT's Performance Metrics

In this evaluation, the AION UT scored impressively across different safety metrics: 66% for safe driving, 74% for accident prevention, 91% for collision protection, and 88% for post-accident safety. These scores contributed to its ultimate five-star rating based on performance across these four crucial areas.

Collision Protection Ratings

The Euro NCAP review determined that all occupants of the AION UT received either good or adequate protection during the offset frontal collision tests. Two child dummies positioned in the rear seats also received maximum points for their protection.
In the full-width frontal collision assessment, protection levels were rated as good or satisfactory in most areas. Furthermore, the AION UT achieved top marks during side collision tests against poles and head-on impacts, thanks to the design of an innovative central airbag that minimizes contact between front seat occupants during side impacts.

Collision Prevention Technologies

Euro NCAP evaluated the vehicle’s collision avoidance systems, such as autonomous emergency braking and lane-keeping assist, across various scenarios involving other vehicles, motorcycles, pedestrians, and cyclists. The results highlighted that the AION UT's autonomous emergency braking system performed exceptionally well in many complex test scenarios.
The vehicle comes equipped with several standard features: an emergency lane-keeping assist system, a blind-spot monitoring system, and autonomous emergency braking functionality when reversing. Additionally, it includes technology designed to prevent accidents involving cyclists when opening doors.

Post-Collision Safety Considerations

Post-collision assessments included the vehicle's ability to provide crucial rescue information as well as the functionality of its eCall system and operation after being submerged in water. Impressively, it was noted that the AION UT’s side windows remain electrically operable for over two minutes following submersion, enhancing the chances of occupant rescue.

Conclusion

The AION UT not only stands out for its sleek design and electric capabilities but also leads in safety standards, as evidenced by its Euro NCAP five-star rating. This achievement reflects the commitment of GAC to prioritize safety and innovation in the automotive industry.
