AION Electric Lease Deals UK

It is no longer uncommon to see brand new vehicle entrants to the UK’s leasing market. As we pass through 2026, the nature and variety of vehicles are changing so rapidly, that we couldn’t even begin to predict the future of transport and branding.

The new AION group, which is the electric car division of GAC, will be the latest in a long list of Chinese entrants to join the UK. Forming a joint venture with Jameel Motors, the AION brand is promising to bring higher standards and quality to the EV market. As the company suggests “AION isn’t chasing trends – it’s driving a new standard. One that’s built to last"

Why choose to lease an AION EV? 

The group are not new to vehicle innovation, manufacturing and delivery. With over 70 years of auto making experience, 200,000 electric vehicles produced per year and countless awards, this Guangzhou based manufacturer have an already stellar reputation in China, where it operates as both AION and Hyptec. By 2021, the group had amassed 1 million vehicle sales in China. In 2023, it was recorded as the 3rd biggest electric vehicle brand after Tesla and BYD. To coin a phrase – this is not their first rodeo in battery electric vehicles.

As at 2026 the AION brand is looking to take on the UK’s automotive market with ambition and professionalism. Guided by an experienced senior leadership team and with a UK-based parts hub, the AION brand is truly committed to quality. Their “Great 8” promise underpins all of this – 8 Year Warranty / 8 Year Servicing / 8 Year Roadside Assistance / 8 Year MOT are standard with this brand. The battery will also benefit from an 8-year (or 100,000 mile) warranty too. Could you ask for any more?

How expensive is an AION Electric lease?

At the time of writing (May 2026) there are two options confirmed for the UK including – 1) AION UT from £25,000 this will be their cheaper hatchback / urban crossover; and 2) AION V from £36,450 this will be the family-friendly SUV option.

We expect the AION brand to be a cost-effective and affordable vehicle solution for the UK leasing market. With prices ranging from £175 - £400, specification and contract dependent, this will be a robust addition for most personal and business contract hire customers. When you consider the Great 8 Promise, you have most of the underlying costs of ownership covered too.
