The AION Y Plus Premium leaves a mixed first impression with its front-end design. Its uniquely sculpted headlights add a distinctive flair, enhancing its stylish appeal. In terms of size, the Y Plus Premium stands out as larger than most SUVs in its class, providing extra comfort for passengers.

Interior & Technology
The AION Y Plus Premium offers an impressive technology suite. The flat-bottom steering wheel adds a sporty touch, while the expansive 14.6-inch central touchscreen, paired with a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, provides a high-tech driving experience.
User-friendliness is a priority, with an intuitive infotainment system that ensures seamless operation. For added convenience, conventional buttons on the steering wheel provide quick access to commonly used functions. The car's virtual assistant can be activated with the phrase "Hello Baby," allowing for hands-free control of features like window operation and sunroof adjustments. Be sure of who you are calling when your lovely partner is beside you!
Comfort is a strong suit of the AION Y Plus Premium. The well-bolstered seats provide excellent support, complemented by an easy entry/exit function for the driver and electronically adjustable seating. Soft, plush headrests enhance overall comfort. Rear cabin space is exceptionally generous, offering ample legroom and headroom, free of any obtrusive center tunnel. The flat-folding front seats create a relaxing environment—perfect for stargazing through the panoramic sunroof or even catching a quick nap while the car charges.
In terms of material quality, the AION Y Plus Premium impresses. Given its price point, the cabin's refinement and build quality certainly earn a well-deserved thumbs-up.
Safety is non-negotiable in today's cars! While a blind spot monitoring system would have been a welcome addition, the premium variant still delivers peace of mind with features like emergency braking assist, lane management, and forward collision warning—keeping you protected on every drive.
On-Road Performance
Driving the AION Y Plus Premium for four days showcased its impressive road capabilities. The vehicle boasts excellent sound insulation, keeping the cabin quiet even at high speeds. Its smooth and responsive handling makes maneuvering effortless, while the 540-degree camera system enhances visibility, helping to prevent accidental bumps and curb scratches—especially useful in urban settings.
Acceleration is seamless, providing confident overtaking and some quick bursts of speed with a simple press of the accelerator. The Y Plus Premium features four driving modes—ECO, Standard, Sport, and a single-pedal mode that reduces the need for braking by intelligently regenerating battery energy.
One noticeable aspect is the brake sensitivity, requiring some adjustment to achieve a smooth braking experience.
For added convenience, the premium variant integrates with the Aion App, enabling owners to remotely control functions such as door locking and vehicle status checks.
