AION N60 Deep Review: A 100,000-RMB Full-Lidar SUV — Who Should Buy It?

Design: Boxier SUV Stance, MPV-Like Space Logic

The AION N60 is a compact all-electric SUV from AION — and it's important to clarify: it's an SUV, not an MPV. Yet its design language prioritizes space efficiency: dimensions are 4615 × 1883 × 1673 mm (L×W×H), with a 2775-mm wheelbase. Combined with near-vertical rear styling and wide C-pillars, it delivers exceptional longitudinal and lateral cabin depth — exceeding typical rivals.

Rear headroom stands out thanks to MPV-inspired cabin proportions; seatback recline reaches up to 137 degrees. Additional features include a recessed 69L storage bin, 50W wireless charging pad, and optional 6.6L vehicle-mounted refrigerator — all enhancing practicality for family trips. Though standard trunk volume isn't disclosed, expandable capacity reaches 1947 L — ideal for weekend camping or grocery runs.

Powertrain: Tiered Range, Lower Trims Gain Acceleration Edge

Priced from RMB 109,800 to RMB 129,800, the N60 offers three variants with CLTC all-electric ranges of 410 km, 510 km, and 610 km. Notably, battery capacity increases with range — but so does curb weight. As a result, both the 410-km and 510-km trims achieve 0–100 km/h in 7.9 seconds — faster than the top-tier 610-km version (whose acceleration figure remains unannounced).

All models feature an amorphous alloy silicon carbide motor, claimed by the automaker to deliver up to 99% motor efficiency. In real-world testing, our team drove 196.5 km, recording a combined energy consumption of 14.7 kWh/100 km — solidly above average for this price bracket. 

Intelligence: Entry-Level Trim Includes Full Lidar Suite

The AION N60's biggest differentiator? Full-lidar + 4D mm radar hardware comes standard across all trims — no hardware downgrades based on configuration. This is exceptionally rare in the sub-RMB-100,000 all-electric segment. Its ADAS system leverages the WeRide end-to-end large model and includes NDA full-scenario assisted driving — covering highways, urban streets, and rural roads.

A recent third full-scenario OTA update added off-vehicle parking assist, remote parking-out assist, P-gear direct NDA activation, three-point U-turns, and navigation-free roaming parking search. The system automatically identifies and parks into narrow, curved, or dead-end spaces — and supports memory parking across up to 3 km, spanning multiple floors. For novice drivers, those prone to parking anxiety, or commuters navigating complex traffic, this hardware redundancy and algorithmic maturity meaningfully lowers the usability barrier.

Pricing & Configuration: Range Is the Only Differentiator — Comfort & Intelligence Fully Standardized

The three trims differ solely in CLTC range (410/510/610 km); everything else is identical: zero-gravity front passenger seat, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8650 chip, 15.6-inch 2.5K central touchscreen, heated/ventilated/massaging front seats, and panoramic sunroof — all standard. That means you get lidar + NDA + zero-gravity seat starting at RMB 109,800.

First owners receive lifetime warranty coverage for the powertrain (battery, motor, e-axle) plus a 4-year/150,000-km comprehensive vehicle warranty — offering long-term cost advantages for ride-hailing drivers or frequent urban commuters.

Verdict: Precisely Matched to Three User Profiles — Two Scenarios Warrant Caution

The AION N60 isn't an all-rounder — it's a pragmatic, scenario-focused choice:

• Profile One: Multi-member families with daily commuting + weekend suburban outings. Cabin space utilization, flexible storage, and whole-family comfort are non-negotiable;
• Profile Two: New drivers or those with limited situational awareness. Full-lidar + NDA significantly reduces stress during parking and in complex road environments;
• Profile Three: Part-time ride-hailing or TownCar fleet operators. Lifetime powertrain warranty + low energy consumption + premium seating boosts both operational economics and passenger satisfaction.

Conversely, if you take over three inter-provincial road trips annually, require light off-road capability, or have a strict RMB-100,000 budget focused purely on lowest possible sticker price, the AION N60 isn't your best fit. It's ideal for buyers with RMB 100,000–130,000 budgets who prioritize interior practicality, ride comfort, advanced driver assistance — and don't demand maximum-range extremes.
