"Headline-grabbing prices usually come with conditions. In this case, the Aion’s low price applies if the buyer is willing to wait up to four months for the seller to secure the certificate of entitlement (COE)."

Need to wait for 4mth. 4mth later COE upz, maybe the dealer will ask chiu topup ai mai, or jitao cancel and refund

when it is too cheap ......

Review from SGcarmart

The ES can be described as the cheapest brand new sedan that we can get in the market today. However its features is more of shouting out to fleet operators than actual consumers.

The exterior and interior has nothing to boast of, safe and honest without signs of any design inspiration from German cars, it is something to be applauded.

Sitting down in the driver's seat, the 2 thick spoke steering wheel shouts out 80s Crown taxi. The analog dials looks like it shared the same vendor as the MG5. The 7" Infotainment is in need of help from AliExpress ASAP.

The rear space while enormous, doesn't comes with a split fold and rear armrest but we don't use it 99% of the time. Trunk is also spacious.

Driving it is quite relaxing and rather light on the foot as it still can pull better than the factory figure of 12s 0-100kmh. The steering is responsive and ride on the slightly firm side of things.

The indicated range of 400 km per charge is all right for a city like Singapore. Otherwise think twice if you often go to places beyond JB.

Overall as a consumer, I will still mind even if it's 20k cheaper than Y plus reason being to have a EV being associated with simplicity is weird.

Interesting, they also make EV for Toyota and Honda.

GAC-Toyota iA5​

[edit]
The GAC-Toyota iA5 is rebadged variant of the Aion S with different front and rear ends and a slightly changed interior and will be sold exclusively at Toyota Leahead dealerships.[12][13] It is the third model in the Leahead lineup after the i1 Toyota Vitz-based subcompact hatchback and the iX4 Trumpchi GS4-based compact SUV.

GAC-Honda EA6​

[edit]
The GAC-Honda EA6 is rebadged variant of the Aion S. The EA6 produces the same 135 kW (184 HP, 300 N • m), and is equipped with the same battery of 58.8 kWh, capable of a range of 460 km (286 mi) (NEDC). The EA6 is 32 mm (1.3 in) longer than the Aion S.[14]

I am trying to decipher the warranty.

Vehicle Warranty​

From the date of registration, your AION vehicle is covered against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 8 Years/160,000km (whichever comes first) excluding wear and tear parts.

It is strongly advised that you always bring your vehicle to qualified workshops such as the VINCAR EV Aftersales Centre for servicing at recommended service intervals - First 5,000km/3 months (whichever comes first) and Every 10,000km/6 months (whichever comes first)

Means every 5000 or 10000 depending on model bah. I always service my cars every 6 months since mileage is very low

This model is very well tested and trusted in china. Super reliable.
It's used widely every city in china as their Taxi/DiDi/网约车。

If I need a second car, I would no doubt buy this EV.

first is BYD, second is this Aion. How come SG still cannot make EV car?
