Vehicle model
Aion Aion S
The Aion S is the brand's first model, unveiled in November 2018 at the Guangzhou Auto Show. It is a mid-size electric sedan (about 4.76 m long), designed first for the Chinese market, where it became widely used in taxi and ride-hailing fleets thanks to its affordable price and decent range. It targets customers looking for a practical, spacious, and economical everyday electric vehicle rather than a sports car. Several variants (S Plus, S Max) have broadened the lineup with varied batteries and ranges. On the tire and wheel side, the Aion S uses fitments typical of an electric sedan of its size, namely wheels of about 17 to 18 inches; in Quebec, a dedicated set of winter tires would be essential to safely face snow and ice.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les Aion sont des berlines compactes à intermédiaires (Aion S) et des VUS compacts (Aion Y) montés généralement sur des jantes de 17 à 19 pouces, comme la plupart des électriques de leur segment. Comme tout véhicule électrique, leur couple instantané et leur poids supplémentaire (batterie) sollicitent davantage les pneus, d'où l'intérêt de pneus à faible résistance au roulement pour préserver l'autonomie. Au Québec, les pneus d'hiver homologués sont obligatoires du 1er décembre au 15 mars; un jeu hiver dédié, idéalement sur jantes en acier ou en alliage abordables, protège les jantes d'origine du sel et du calcium. Faute de dimensions officielles confirmées localement, validez toujours l'entraxe et le diamètre exacts sur la plaque ou le manuel.
