London, 10 September 2026 – The all-new AION UT electric compact hatchback arrives at AION Auto UK dealerships across the UK this weekend with a pair of tempting launch offers.
For the September launch month only, the distinctive, spacious B-segment newcomer will be available with a PCP offer from £349 per month with 0% APR through AION Financial Services*. This offer is available with a customer deposit of £1,949, which includes an AION deposit contribution of £500 for all retail customers who take a test drive and place an order for the AION UT this month.
The AION UT is the brand’s second model to arrive in the UK, following the launch of the AION V electric SUV in the spring, and continues to deliver on its commitment to set new standards for British car buyers and owners.
Priced from £28,950 OTR, the AION UT supermini offers the interior space, range, quality and features typically associated with larger vehicles at a much higher price point.
Its generous interior provides a compelling combination of segment-busting space, technology, style, and convenience.
A class-leading 268-mile range (WLTP Combined) comes as standard, with 30–80% rapid charging in 24 minutes.
The AION UT’s chassis has been tuned specifically for the UK, delivering a playful, connected and composed ride.
And it is supported by the industry-leading ‘AION Great 8 Promise’, providing an eight-year warranty, eight years of servicing, eight years’ roadside assistance and MOT until the car is eight years old – all tied to the VIN and fully transferable to future owners.
Jon Wakefield, Managing Director, AION Auto UK, said: “We’re kicking off our AION UT sales with a pair of hugely attractive offers for this September launch month. Its class-leading space, quality, range and features puts it head and shoulders above the competition, and the finance offers make it fantastic value for our first customers placing their orders before the end of September.”
As AION continues to develop its UK retail network, customers will have nationwide access to servicing, maintenance and repair through a partnership with the AA, including its network of accredited workshops and more than 140 mobile service technicians.
Notes: * Subject to finance approval and applicable terms and conditions. Figures quoted are based on a 48-month / 6,000-miles-per-year PCP agreement.
