The much-anticipated Aiways U6 has finally announced its starting price: RMB 219,900 (after subsidies).
Basic parameters
The Aiways U6 is positioned as a coupe SUV, with length, width, and height of 4,805/1,880/1,641 mm, and a wheelbase of 2,800 mm.
It is divided into two versions: the Play version and the Sound Experience Special Edition. Although both versions have the same price, the latter is limited to 2,666 units and comes with on-board microphones and customized appearance kits. In addition, the degree of freedom in selection will also be reduced, and the body color can only be chosen from Sunburst Yellow and Titan Green.
The Sound Experience Special Edition comes with customized appearance kits and on-board microphones.
Rich exterior colors
The Aiways U6 also offers up to 10 colors for the body, which is very suitable for the youth-oriented positioning of the Aiways U6.
The main color displayed at the press conference is Sunburst Yellow, which looks like a dark yellow rather than too bright.
The coupe-like exterior design brings advantages in terms of drag coefficient, and the Aiways U6 has a drag coefficient of 0.248, which is lower than that of comparable models. This number can help the Aiways U6 achieve longer range with the same battery capacity.
Cabin Configuration
The cabin of the Aiways U6 features a distinctive white-blue-red color scheme that gives it a sophisticated look.
The dashboard is equipped with an 8.2-inch instrument display and a 14.6-inch central touchscreen.
The audio system features a MaGnat acoustic system from Germany, which includes 9 speakers and 1 independent subwoofer, and is powered by an amplifier with 8 independent audio signals.
Hardware Specifications
As the second model under the Aiways brand, it is built on the independently developed MAS pure electric platform. The Aiways U6 Play version’s power battery comes in two capacities, 63 kWh and 72 kWh, which correspond to CLTC ranges of 505 km and 590 km, respectively. The Aiways U6 signature sound special edition is only available with a 63 kWh battery. The 72 kWh battery pack requires an additional 18,000 yuan for selection.
In terms of powertrain configuration, the Aiways U6 is equipped with a self-developed permanent magnet motor, with a peak power of 160 kW, peak torque of 315 N·m, and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 6.9 seconds.
The standard configuration of the Aiways U6 includes 22 functions of AI-Cruise intelligent driving assistance system, including SCC Super Cruise Control, CLC turn signal control and lane change, RPA remote parking assistance, and RC intelligent vehicle control.
Aiways U6 has optimized the white body specifically for weight reduction, with aluminum alloy materials accounting for more than 52% of the weight and reducing the white body by 50 kg compared to traditional steel body. Besides, with the use of octagonal cage body structure, it has a torsional stiffness of 30,000 N.m/deg.
In addition, the entire series is equipped with a heat pump air conditioning system, which alleviates energy consumption concerns in winter.
Finally
Besides, Aiways U6 offers various optional packages, such as seat upgrade packages, Mercedes-Benz tires, and intelligent selection packages in terms of functionality, as well as multiple color combinations for exterior and interior designs.
Overall, with a starting price of 219,900 yuan and matching the appearance and hardware configuration, we believe that it will give consumers who want to buy pure electric SUVs more reasons to hesitate within a price range of 200,000 to 250,000 yuan.
