History
History of the Aion Hyper GT
The Hyper GT (sold under the premium Hyper brand, which became Hyptec) is a sporty mid-size electric sedan unveiled in late 2022. It embodies Aion's move upmarket, with refined design and advanced aerodynamics, its announced 0.19 Cd drag coefficient ranking among the lowest of any production car. Positioned against rivals such as the Tesla Model 3, it targets a younger clientele sensitive to performance and style. It illustrates Aion's ambition to move beyond the utilitarian image of its first models. Like an electric sport sedan, it rides on large-diameter wheels fitted with wide, high-performance tires; in Quebec, such a vehicle would absolutely require dedicated winter tires to compensate for the demanding traction of a powerful electric rear-wheel-drive car.
Technology
Technologies, engines and platforms
An electric sedan on the AEP 3.0 platform; the single-motor version produces about 250 kW (434 Nm), 0-100 km/h in about 4.9 s, with a roughly 80 kWh battery for an announced range of up to 710 km (Chinese cycle). Aerodynamics of 0.19 Cd and advanced driving assistance.
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.
