The GAC AION V is a compact-to-mid-size electric SUV positioned as the practical family flagship of the AION range in Pakistan. Its upright shape, squared wheel arches, roof rails and distinctive lighting give it a rugged visual character, while the smooth front treatment identifies it as a purpose-built EV. The 4,605 mm length is manageable in city traffic, but a 2,775 mm wheelbase creates a noticeably spacious cabin. Rear passengers benefit from a wide seating area and a backrest that can recline by up to 137 degrees, making the vehicle especially appealing for families and buyers who regularly travel with adults in the second row.
The Pakistan-market AION V uses a front-mounted electric motor producing 100 kW and 240 Nm. It is not designed as a performance SUV; instead, the powertrain focuses on quiet response, smooth progress and predictable front-wheel-drive behaviour. The instant low-speed torque is useful in urban traffic, while the 160 km/h listed top speed is sufficient for legal motorway travel. The 64.5 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery uses GAC Magazine Battery technology, with official range figures of 520 km NEDC and 435 km WLTP.
Charging capability is a major advantage. The AION V supports 6.6 kW AC charging and up to 150 kW DC charging. GAC lists a 24-minute 10–80 percent fast-charge time when a compatible high-output charger and favourable battery conditions are available. In Pakistan, actual charging speed will depend on the public station's power, connector condition, battery temperature and other vehicles sharing the site. Home charging remains the most dependable ownership arrangement, so buyers should plan for a dedicated circuit, proper earthing and a suitable wall charger before delivery.
The cabin combines comfort with extensive technology. The official local leaflet lists a 14.6-inch infotainment display, an 8.88-inch digital cluster, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless phone charging, nine speakers, intelligent ambient lighting and dual-zone automatic climate control. The driver receives a powered, heated, ventilated and memory seat, while the passenger seat is also powered. Artificial-leather upholstery, an electrochromic mirror, a panoramic sunroof and an electric tailgate reinforce the model's premium positioning.
Safety equipment is one of the AION V's strongest buyer benefits. The Pakistan specification lists seven airbags, front and rear parking sensors, a surround-view camera and a broad assistance package including adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot detection, door-opening warning and rear cross-traffic functions. The model also carries a five-star Euro NCAP rating for the matching generation, giving buyers a recognised reference for adult and child occupant protection.
The rear luggage area provides approximately 427 litres with the seats upright and up to 978 litres when expanded, supporting shopping, family travel and outdoor equipment. A roof-rack loading capability adds further versatility. For Pakistan, the main limitations are the still-developing fast-charging network, modest 6.6 kW home-charging rate, the cost of replacement 19-inch tyres and uncertain long-term resale values. At its current ex-factory positioning, the AION V offers a compelling mix of range, cabin space, safety and equipment for buyers ready to manage EV charging responsibly.
