The AION i60 has made its first South-east Asian right-hand-drive debut in Indonesia, with pre-bookings open from 7 to 19 November 2026 at Rp99,000. GAC introduced the electric SUV in Jakarta on Saturday as the regional first market, and the official AION Indonesia product page lists a 75 kWh battery, a claimed 602 km NEDC range, 150 kW, 210 Nm and dimensions of 4,685 x 1,854 x 1,660 mm.
CEO Andry Ciu told Antara the Rp99,000 figure is not the vehicle’s price but the pre-order fee, and that the official price will be revealed at Gaikindo Auto Week. Indonesian coverage describes a “Rp500 jutaan” band — the 500-million-rupiah class — which is a media estimate, not an OTR sticker.
What is the AION i60?
The AION i60 is a GAC AION electric SUV that Indonesia is receiving first in right-hand-drive form for South-east Asia. Launch coverage from LensaUtama, Okezone and Antara describes local assembly at PT National Assemblers in Cikampek and positions the model as an “all-rounder” crossover, highlighting an in-cabin fridge and a spare tyre.
Launch reports quote more than 3 metres of effective cabin length, 1,037 mm of second-row legroom, 1,020 mm of headroom and a 658-litre boot, or 1,876 litres folded. Front seats get eight-point massage, ventilation, heating, electric adjustment and memory; the rear backrest reclines up to 137 degrees, with stepless 20-degree adjustment, on eight-layer padding. Infotainment is a 15.6-inch 2.5K ADiGO 6.0 screen. LensaUtama reports more than 10,000 China sales for 10 consecutive months and 100,000 deliveries in 11 months since launch.
What are the AION i60 battery, range and charging claims?
The official Indonesia page lists a 75 kWh battery, 602 km of claimed NEDC range, 150 kW and 210 Nm. Launch coverage repeats a claim of more than 602 km NEDC and says 3C charging can take the pack from 30% to 70% in about 15 minutes under stated test conditions. Those are manufacturer claims, not independent test results.
GAC also claims the battery can support up to 3,000 charge cycles, or about 1.5 million kilometres, on internal test parameters. That durability line should stay labelled as an internal-test claim. The same reports say Magazine Battery 2.0 was developed with soak, underbody-impact and penetration tests.
Coverage cites a cage-type body with 72% high-strength steel, including 1,500 MPa hot-formed steel in the core cabin, plus six airbags and 15 Level 2 ADAS features, including adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, blind-spot detection, lane-departure warning and rear cross-traffic alert. Launch reports list a 2,775 mm wheelbase, absent from the official specification table.
How much does the AION i60 cost in Indonesia?
There is no official Indonesia list price yet. Andry Ciu said the Rp99,000 charge is only the booking fee and that the official price will be announced at Gaikindo Auto Week. Okezone’s 7 November report put the SUV in the Rp500 million class while repeating that an exact official price had not been announced.
Converted at about 1 Indonesian rupiah to 0.00519 Indian rupee on 8 November 2026, Rp500 million is roughly Rs 25.9 lakh. That is an estimate from the “Rp500 jutaan” phrase, not a rupee price and not a prediction of the Gaikindo sticker.
Bookings run through official GAC Indonesia dealers from 7 to 19 November 2026, with deliveries targeted from December 2026 and possible free-upgrade offers under the programme’s terms. Masato Katsumata, CTO of GAC International, said the i60 aims to combine comfort, safety and reliability. Ciu, as paraphrased by LensaUtama, said it was developed through a “GAC Listens” approach.
How does the AION i60 compare with the BYD Sealion 7?
The AION i60 is not headed for India, but it is close in size to the BYD Sealion 7, which has crossed 5,000 Indian deliveries. The i60 is shorter and narrower and claims a longer NEDC range from a 75 kWh pack, using official Indonesia figures and published Sealion 7 specifications.
| Item | AION i60 (Indonesia) | BYD Sealion 7 (India) |
|---|---|---|
| Length x width x height | 4,685 x 1,854 x 1,660 mm | 4,830 x 1,925 x 1,620 mm |
| Wheelbase | 2,775 mm (launch coverage) | 2,930 mm |
| Battery | 75 kWh | 71.8 kWh Dynamic; 82.56 kWh Premium/Performance |
| Claimed range | 602 km NEDC | 520 km / 567 km NEDC |
| Peak output | 150 kW / 210 Nm | Performance: 390 kW / 690 Nm |
| Boot | 658 L; 1,876 L seats folded | 500 L (published spec listing) |
| Price status | Official OTR due at Gaikindo Auto Week; media cite a Rp500 million-class band | Dynamic from Rs 41.90 lakh introductory, ex-showroom |
The i60 is 145 mm shorter and 71 mm narrower than the Sealion 7, 40 mm taller, and rides a 155 mm shorter wheelbase. Its 75 kWh pack sits between the Sealion 7’s two battery sizes, and the higher NEDC claim remains a test-cycle figure rather than real-world range.
A rough conversion of the Rp500 million-class media band, about Rs 25.9 lakh, also sits well below the Sealion 7 Dynamic’s Rs 41.90 lakh introductory ex-showroom price. Different taxes and specification mean that gap is not an India comparison.
What warranty and booking terms come with the AION i60?
Launch coverage lists an 8-year/200,000 km battery and motor warranty, an 8-year/160,000 km vehicle warranty, and free servicing for 3 years or 60,000 km, including labour and parts. Other extras include 8-year roadside assistance, mobile service within 40 km, a free home charger excluding installation, and two years of infotainment data at 2 GB a month.
| Ownership item | Term reported at the Indonesia launch |
|---|---|
| Battery and motor warranty | 8 years / 200,000 km |
| Vehicle warranty | 8 years / 160,000 km |
| Free scheduled maintenance | 3 years / 60,000 km, labour and parts included |
| Roadside assistance | 8 years |
| RSA onward transport | Grab, up to 40 km, maximum Rp300,000 |
| Mobile service | Free within 40 km |
| Home charger | Free, excluding installation, in launch coverage |
| Infotainment data | 2 years at 2 GB a month |
| Pre-booking | Rp99,000, 7-19 November 2026 |
| Targeted first deliveries | From December 2026 for that booking window |
Roadside assistance includes Grab onward transport of up to 40 km, capped at Rp300,000. The official page states a general 8-year/160,000 km vehicle warranty and mentions a complimentary 7 kW wall-charger installation, while listing free-service programmes for other AION and Hyptec models rather than the i60. Confirm the i60-specific terms in writing at a dealer.
Is the AION i60 coming to India?
No India launch, price or homologation plan has been announced for the AION i60. Indonesia is the first right-hand-drive market in South-east Asia, which is useful context for anyone watching other RHD countries, but it is not a substitute for an Indian product plan.
Other Chinese groups are probing right-hand-drive markets differently, including the iCAUR Australia rollout for JSW-linked nameplates. The Mini Cooper Electric second-gen launch is another imported-EV comparison, in a different size and price class.
CarBike Insight Analysis
The AION i60 Indonesia launch is stronger on hardware disclosure than on price honesty. A 75 kWh electric SUV with a 602 km NEDC claim, a 658-litre boot, a spare tyre and an 8-year battery warranty is a clearly sketched product. A media “Rp500 million-class” label is not a substitute for the Gaikindo sticker Andry Ciu has promised.
Our view: the Rp99,000 booking, open through 19 November 2026, is a place-holder rather than a discount on the car. Wait for the official OTR price, the variant split and dealer-written warranty paperwork at Gaikindo Auto Week before treating the claimed range advantage or the lower media price band as settled.
