On September 29, Aeon V, the first model under Beijing Hyundai's high-end new energy brand Aeon, was officially launched, with 5 versions, a limited-time benefit price of 99,900 to 131,900 yuan, and deliveries starting immediately. To be honest, I was stunned when I saw this price. A B+ segment pure electric coupe with a length of 4900mm and a wheelbase of 2900mm, selling for under 100,000, was something unimaginable two years ago.
Aeon V's pricing strategy is very direct. Compared with several popular competitors at the same level - XPeng MONA M03 starts at 119,800 yuan, Nissan N7 has a limited-time price starting at 109,900 yuan - Aeon V is directly about 10,000 yuan lower than them. And this is not an A-segment car engaging in a price war; with a length of 4900mm and a wheelbase of 2900mm, at this price point it really counts as "punching above its class."
The benefits brought by the larger size are tangible. Rear legroom is 1019mm, the trunk is 465L, and there are 26 storage spaces throughout the car. In addition, the front seats can be folded flat with one touch to form a "beach chair mode," which is completely sufficient for daily family use. Put simply, what this car wants to do is: give you B-segment space at an A-segment price.
If price is the knock-on-the-door brick, then the benefit policy is the card Aeon V really wants to play. Lifetime warranty for the entire vehicle including the three electric components, the only one in its class. Most competitors on the market offer a 4-to-5-year or 120,000-kilometer warranty, while Aeon V directly gives lifetime warranty to the first non-operating owner. There are also two backstops: if battery degradation exceeds 30%, within 8 years or 160,000 kilometers it is replaced rather than repaired; if the battery catches fire and is scrapped due to quality problems, one burned battery is compensated with one.
This calculation is actually not hard to make. What a lifetime warranty solves has never been the question of whether the car can be driven, but whether anyone will still take care of you ten years later. At the 100,000-yuan level, a manufacturer being willing to bear after-sales costs over the long term is valuable in itself.
In terms of the infotainment system, the entire lineup comes standard with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295P chip and a 27-inch 4K large screen. The system integrates ERNIE Bot and Doubao dual AI large models and supports four-zone voice recognition. This set of hardware on a car starting at the 100,000-yuan level is indeed a class above.
In terms of intelligent driving, Aeon V is equipped with an L2+ system jointly developed with Momenta. The hardware setup is 1 millimeter-wave radar, 7 high-definition cameras, and 12 ultrasonic radars, supporting highway navigation and full-scenario automatic parking. The higher trim also has urban memory navigation. But one reminder: the entry version only has basic L2 assisted driving, and Momenta's advanced intelligent driving is only available if you choose the Max+ version.
In terms of power, the 540 version is equipped with a 140kW motor, while the 650 version is upgraded to 168kW, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration of 7.8 seconds. This result is indeed on the conservative side compared with pure electric competitors in 2026, but it is completely sufficient for daily commuting and mid-range overtaking. The entire lineup coming standard with an 800V high-voltage platform is a highlight, with 30% to 80% fast charging taking about 20 minutes, so there is no need to worry about charging efficiency.
How to choose among the five versions? If the budget is limited, choose the 540 Pro Pioneer Edition (99,900 yuan). The 8295 chip, 27-inch large screen, 800V platform, and lifetime warranty are all there, and the core experience is not compromised; only intelligent driving and comfort configurations have been reduced.
If you value intelligent driving, choose the 540 Max+ High-End Intelligent Driving Edition (119,900 yuan). Spending 10,000 yuan more than the standard version gets you the Momenta advanced intelligent driving system and the complete safety upgrade package (19-inch wheels, electric tailgate, 9 airbags), making it the most cost-effective choice among the five cars.
If you often drive long distances, choose the 650 Max Long-Range Standard Edition (121,900 yuan). The 66.8kWh large battery brings 650km of range, and the 168kW high-power motor. Spending 2,000 yuan more for 110km of range and stronger power is a very worthwhile deal.
If the budget is sufficient, go straight to the top trim 650 Max+ Long-Range High-End Intelligent Driving Edition (131,900 yuan), getting long range and full intelligent driving in one step.
Car Review Agency: Aeon V is a car with a very clear goal. It does not try to go head-to-head with domestic competitors on acceleration performance, but instead chooses another path - using B+ segment dimensions, the quality-control foundation of a joint venture brand, and the after-sales commitment of a lifetime warranty to attack the 100,000-yuan pure electric sedan market. If you value space and long-term vehicle ownership protection, and have no obsession with extreme acceleration, this car is worth sitting in at the store. If you place an order before the end of October, you can still enjoy the benefit of a free upgrade, so if you are interested, you can go learn about it early.
