Aion V Car Review: Winter Testing Showcases Reliability and Comfort

The 2024 Winter testing of the Aion V has been performed in two different zones, low-temperature and cold-weather zones. The test aimed to evaluate the car's performance in winter conditions, focusing on three key areas: range, energy consumption, and charging times.

Test Vehicle

The vehicle tested was the Aion V, which is equipped with a 62.27kWh lithium battery pack, front-wheel drive electric motor, and achieved an official combined cycle range of approximately 520 kilometers.

Low-Temperature Testing Zone

Continued Progress

In the low-temperature testing zone, the car underwent testing in extreme cold weather conditions. The temperature ranged from -25°C to -20°C during the tests and reached a maximum speed of 50% and below during the trial.

The Aion V performed commendably, achieving an average driving range of 259.6 km with a success rate of 49.9%.

Cooling System Testing

During low-temperature testing, the cooling system functioned effectively to maintain the air conditioning at a temperature range from 22°C to 17°C.

Additionally, we conducted outside charging tests for Aion V, which involved replenishing its battery capacity remotely using hood-mounted charging equipment, with a time of 110 minutes to recharge the full capacity and 36 minutes to reach 30-80% charge. The power output began at an initial maximum level and rose slowly, eventually reaching around 60 kW.

Energy Consumption

In addition, Aion V achieved a low driving energy consumption value of 27.15 kWh/100 km during low-temperature testing.

Finally, we turned our attention to high-temperature air conditioning tests on the test route in low-temperature testing zones. With the heating system working at maximum capacity and highest fan speed for two hours, the temperatures increased by approximately 38.9°C within the specified time frame of 20 minutes.

Charging Station

The car completed a comprehensive range of performance assessments:

• Achieved an average 58-minute recharge rate when charging up to 100% capacity;
• Successfully reached an average of 80 kW power level for extended recharging.

Low-Temperature Testing and Result

Our comprehensive testing in the low-temperature zone included maintaining temperatures throughout the majority of our drive within a warm range, while all three critical temperature ranges remained stable: 22°C to 17°C, 13°C to 8°C.
