AION i60 EV vs. EREV Buying Guide: Range, Fast Charging, and LiDAR Specs
The 2027 AION i60 offers two BEV range options, rated at 520 km and 700 km under the CLTC cycle, alongside an REEV version with a claimed 350 km pure electric range. For overseas buyers, the choice between the two powertrains should depend on local charging infrastructure, driving requirements and the exact vehicle configuration.
The REEV version combines electric driving with a range extender, offering more flexibility for buyers who regularly travel longer distances or operate in areas with limited charging infrastructure. Its claimed 1,738 km combined CLTC range is a useful reference, although actual mileage will depend on driving conditions and energy consumption.
Side-by-Side Spec Comparison
The table below summarizes the main specifications of the 2027 AION i60 BEV and REEV versions, making it easier to compare their powertrain layouts, battery capacities and charging performance.
| Specification | 2027 AION i60 BEV | 2027 AION i60 REEV |
|---|---|---|
| Powertrain | Battery Electric | Range-Extended Electric |
| Motor Power | 165 kW | 160 kW |
| CLTC Electric Range | 520 / 700 km | 350 km |
| CLTC Combined Range | — | 1,738 km |
| Battery Capacity | 56.68 / 77.65 kWh | 45.37 kWh |
| Fast Charging(30%–80% SOC) | Approx. 22 min | Approx. 15 min |
| LiDAR | Confirm by exact trim | Confirm by exact trim |
All range figures are based on China’s CLTC testing cycle. They should not be treated as equivalent to WLTP or EPA range ratings.
Specification Source: The specifications above are compiled from GAC’s published model information and publicly available configuration data. For the manufacturer’s official launch announcement and vehicle details, see GAC’s official 2027 AION i60 update. Actual equipment may vary by trim level and should be confirmed before ordering.
CLTC Range, Charging and Practical Considerations
The REEV version combines a 1.5L range extender with a 160 kW electric drive motor. Its 350 km CLTC electric range gives buyers more flexibility for daily driving, while the claimed 1,738 km combined CLTC range provides additional reassurance for longer journeys. Actual range and charging frequency will depend on driving distance, climate, road conditions and driving habits.
Driver Assistance and Storage: Key Differences Between Versions
Two specific engineering choices stand out on the i60:
- 192-Line LiDAR and Advanced Driver Assistance: The 2027 AION i60 incorporates a 192-line LiDAR system and an advanced driver-assistance solution developed using technology from WeRide’s L4 autonomous-driving research. According to WeRide, its WRD 3.0 system supports L2++ functions such as navigation assistance, remote parking, three-point turns and parking-space-to-parking-space assistance in supported environments.For overseas buyers, one point needs attention: advanced driving functions available in China may not work identically in other markets. Software support, mapping coverage, local regulations and vehicle configuration should all be checked before ordering.
- 66L Front Trunk on BEV Versions: Selected BEV configurations of the 2027 AION i60 offer a 66L front storage compartment, providing additional room for smaller items such as charging cables and everyday accessories. This feature should not be confused with the REEV configuration, where the front compartment layout is different. Buyers should confirm the storage configuration of the exact trim before placing an order.
192-Line LiDAR and Advanced Driver Assistance: The 2027 AION i60 incorporates a 192-line LiDAR system and an advanced driver-assistance solution developed using technology from WeRide’s L4 autonomous-driving research. WeRide’s WRD 3.0 announcement for the AION i60 provides further details about the system and its assisted-driving capabilities. The production system is classified as an L2++ driver-assistance solution, not an L4 autonomous-driving system.
What Should Overseas Buyers Check Before Ordering the AION i60?
For overseas dealers and vehicle importers, choosing between the BEV and REEV versions is only the first step. The exact configuration and its suitability for the destination market also need attention.
Before confirming an order, buyers should check the following:
- Charging Compatibility: Confirm that the vehicle’s charging connector and charging specifications match the standards used in the destination country.
- Driver-Assistance Functions: Check whether the selected configuration supports the expected ADAS features and whether relevant software functions are available in the destination market.
- Infotainment and Connectivity: Confirm language options, smartphone connectivity and the availability of connected services.
- Import Requirements: Review local vehicle certification, emissions requirements where applicable, customs documentation and registration rules.
- Vehicle Configuration: Confirm the battery capacity, powertrain, LiDAR equipment and other requested options against the actual vehicle specification sheet.
These checks are particularly important for wholesale orders, where differences between vehicle configurations can affect pricing, customer expectations and after-sales arrangements.
