On September 15, Zeng Yuqun, Chairman and CEO of CATL, drew attention by supporting the soon-to-be-released AION RT facelift model through a personal video. The AION RT facelift model boasts a range of up to 650 kilometers.

The AION RT facelift model has achieved several technological breakthroughs, particularly in the areas of battery and motor. As the only model in its class equipped with CATL batteries as standard, the AION RT facelift model excels in range performance. The new model features the third-generation silicon carbide motor, with chip costs three times that of its class’s IGBT chips.

In terms of market positioning, the AION RT facelift model targets the family car market, retaining the spacious advantage of its predecessor while offering comprehensive upgrades in intelligence, comfort, and safety.
As more automakers enter the pure electric vehicle market, consumers’ demands for vehicle range, intelligence levels, and cost-effectiveness continue to rise. With its 650-kilometer long range and CATL’s battery technology, the AION RT facelift model holds a certain advantage in the market.
The AION RT facelift model is set to be officially launched on September 22. The support from Zeng Yuqun and the introduction of a “mysterious gift” add intrigue and appeal to the AION RT facelift model’s launch.
