AION warranty covers the majority of the car systems and components for eight years / 100,000 miles
Part of the ‘AION Great 8 Promise’, which also includes eight years’ servicing, eight years’ breakdown cover and MOT until the car is eight years old
Industry-leading aftersales offering predicted to save AION drivers over £2,900 and is transferable between owners

London, 10 June 2026 – With the launch of the AION V electric family SUV, AION Auto UK, the latest Chinese brand to launch in the UK, is raising the bar for effortless car ownership by introducing the country’s most robust and reassuring new car warranty.

For new car buyers who prioritise long-term reliability, repair costs and ownership certainty, AION’s warranty proposition provides reassurance beyond the offerings of its competitors, with extensive coverage of all components and transparency around any limitations.

The vehicle, power battery and powertrain warranties align with established UK consumer protection standards and industry best practice. As with all warranties, exclusions apply where defects arise because of misuse, accidental damage, overloading or issues directly resulting from work carried out by a non-authorised AION repair centre.

Vehicle Warranty
Unless the owner has breached the warranty terms - for example, by using the car for organised motorsport – the Vehicle Warranty covers the AION product for up to eight years or 100,000 miles, subject to confirmation of a manufacturing defect.

AION’s anti-perforation warranty covers the vehicle for eight years, with unlimited mileage.

AION also clearly outlines the limitations under its warranty period. Brake pads, brake discs, wiper blades, air conditioner filters, fuses, light bulbs, general relay and key fob batteries are covered for six months or 6,000 miles. Tyres and the 12V battery are covered for 12 months or 12,000 miles. And paint is covered for three years with unlimited mileage.

Power Battery Warranty
This covers the vehicle battery for eight years or 125,000 miles, whichever is sooner, with a State of Health (SOH) threshold of 70%.

Powertrain Warranty
The vehicle powertrain is covered for eight years, or 100,000 miles and includes the motor, reduction gear, charger-box interconnection, EVC controller, inverter, DCDC converter and the connection of high-voltage cables.

AION Great 8 Promise
AION Auto UK has introduced the warranty as part of its AION Great 8 Promise, an effortless ownership package that also includes eight years of servicing, eight years of breakdown assistance and MOT cover until the car is eight years old. The brand estimates that the proposition, which is included as standard with all AION cars regardless of how they are acquired, will save drivers over £2,900* through the course of the first eight years of the car’s life.

“There is lots of noise around Chinese cars at the moment, and it can be confusing for buyers to know who to trust. We are driving a new standard as we launch the AION V to customers, and a key part of that is complete transparency around the AION Great 8 Promise, including our warranty,” said Jon Wakefield, Managing Director of AION Auto UK.

“With AION, eight-year cover really does mean eight years. There will be no nasty surprises for our customers, and if any remedial work is needed, the parts are already in the country to get them back on the road as soon as possible,” he concluded.

Spare parts warranty
Before its first cars went on sale, AION Auto UK had already partnered with DHL to open its own, fully stocked parts warehouse in Bury St Edmunds, ensuring 24-hour supply across the UK.

The AION spare parts warranty applies to AION genuine spare parts purchased from, supplied by or fitted by an AION Authorised Dealer or Authorised Repairer. This means that any parts replaced under the vehicle warranty are covered for the duration of the AION Great 8 Promise.

Any parts purchased by the customer are covered for two years from the date of purchase and with unlimited mileage. Spare parts for the vehicle battery or drive units are covered for four years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first.

“Parts availability and repair costs significantly influence the car insurance industry’s assessment of risk,” explained Ben Hurford, Aftersales Director at AION Auto UK. “Some early adopters of Chinese vehicles struggled to get insurance cover, and we made sure to learn from their experience and make sure AION owners did not experience the same problems. Before launching in the UK, we spent nearly a year working with Thatcham Research to optimise the AION V in terms of repairability and insurability and to make insurance premiums as competitive as possible.”

Thatcham Research’s insurance ratings assess vehicle risk, ensuring data is available to enable accurate underwriting decisions. These ratings are based on damage and repair costs, performance, safety, and security features.

The new AION V electric family SUV has been awarded a group 32 insurance rating, one of the lowest among new entrant brands in this segment.

Notes to Editors:
The warranty covers the following for eight years or 100,000 miles, whichever is sooner:

Infotainment and multimedia systems
Electric drive system components
On-board charging systems
Vehicle control modules and electronic systems
Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system components
Steering and suspension components
Body and interior components
Safety and driver assistance systems
Electrical systems and associated vehicle electronics
Factory-fitted equipment supplied as part of the original vehicle specification
