Aion LX

Aion LX: Which Version Should You Buy?

The Aion LX range offers four electric versions within a single generation: LX 60 AT, LX 70 AT, LX 80 AT, and LX 80D AT. All have an Automatic gearbox, but their outputs, drivetrains, and kerb weights separate them into three clear choices.

The Aion LX range offers four electric versions within a single generation: LX 60 AT, LX 70 AT, LX 80 AT, and LX 80D AT. All have an Automatic gearbox, but their outputs, drivetrains, and kerb weights separate them into three clear choices. LX 60 AT and LX 70 AT share the same 186 hp, 350 Nm, FWD configuration and 1,900 kg kerb weight, so the supplied specifications do not establish a mechanical reason to prefer one over the other. LX 80 AT increases output to 204 hp while retaining 350 Nm and FWD. LX 80D AT is the performance-oriented alternative, with 408 hp, 700 Nm, and AWD.

Aion LX generations and versions

The Aion LX has one generation in the supplied catalogue data. The 1 generation entered production in August 2019 and has no recorded end date. It uses an SUV 5-doors body and contains four versions: LX 60 AT, LX 70 AT, LX 80 AT, and LX 80D AT.

There is therefore no comparison between different Aion LX generations to make. The data also records no restyling as a separate stage and provides no specification for an Aion LX Plus, Aion LX Plus 1000km version, Aion LX Plus 2022, or Aion LX fuel cell. Those names should not be treated as substitutes for any of the four catalogue versions below.

Aion LX engine and drivetrain specs

Every Aion LX version listed here is Electro-powered and uses a 1-speed Automatic gearbox. Displacement, cylinder count, cylinder layout, and boost are not measured for every version.

Power per litre cannot be calculated because displacement is not measured. Weight per horsepower is more useful with the available figures: LX 60 AT and LX 70 AT each carry about 10.22 kg per hp, LX 80 AT carries 10.00 kg per hp, and LX 80D AT carries about 5.34 kg per hp. On that measure, LX 80D AT has by far the strongest power-to-weight relationship.

LX 80 AT adds 18 hp over LX 60 AT and LX 70 AT, an increase of about 9.7%, but torque remains unchanged at 350 Nm. Its kerb weight also rises by 140 kg, or about 7.4%. Consequently, its weight-per-horsepower advantage is modest: 10.00 kg per hp instead of about 10.22 kg per hp.

LX 80D AT doubles the LX 80 AT figures for both power and torque, rising from 204 hp to 408 hp and from 350 Nm to 700 Nm. Its kerb weight increases by only 140 kg, from 2,040 kg to 2,180 kg, while the drivetrain changes from FWD to AWD. Compared with LX 60 AT or LX 70 AT, LX 80D AT provides 222 hp and 350 Nm more, although it is 280 kg heavier.

Aion LX performance, range, and economy

The supplied data does not measure 0–100 acceleration or top speed for LX 60 AT, LX 70 AT, LX 80 AT, or LX 80D AT. The much higher output of LX 80D AT identifies a substantial specification difference, but it cannot support a claimed acceleration time or maximum speed.

City consumption, highway consumption, and combined consumption are not measured for all four versions. Electric driving range and battery capacity are also not measured, so the figures needed to compare the LX 60 AT, LX 70 AT, and LX 80 AT by range are unavailable. In particular, the supplied data does not substantiate a 1000 km range for any listed version.

Recorded CO₂ output is 0 for LX 60 AT, LX 70 AT, LX 80 AT, and LX 80D AT. A fuel-tank capacity is not measured for any version.

Aion LX dimensions, weight, and wheel sizes

Overall exterior dimensions are not measured in the supplied data. Kerb weight is 1,900 kg for LX 60 AT and 1,900 kg for LX 70 AT. LX 80 AT weighs 2,040 kg, while LX 80D AT is the heaviest version at 2,180 kg.

Gross weight and ground clearance are not measured for LX 60 AT, LX 70 AT, LX 80 AT, or LX 80D AT. Tank capacity is also not measured.

All four versions list the same two wheel sizes: 245/55 R19 and 245/50 R20. Each uses Independent, spring suspension at the front and rear, Ventilated disc front brakes, and Disc rear brakes. The common wheel, suspension, and brake specifications leave power, drive layout, and kerb weight as the principal measured chassis-related distinctions.

Which Aion LX version should you buy?

Choose between LX 60 AT and LX 70 AT only after comparing information outside this dataset, such as verified equipment or price. In the supplied mechanical specifications, both deliver 186 hp, 350 Nm, FWD, a 1-speed Automatic gearbox, and a 1,900 kg kerb weight. Their wheel sizes, suspension, and brakes are identical as well. No measured performance, consumption, range, battery, dimension, or clearance figure separates them here.

Choose LX 80 AT if you want the most powerful listed FWD version. Its 204 hp output is 18 hp higher than that of LX 60 AT and LX 70 AT, although all three produce 350 Nm. The trade-off is a 140 kg increase in kerb weight. Because acceleration and range are not measured, the data cannot establish how much practical benefit the extra power provides.

Choose LX 80D AT when maximum output and AWD matter most. It produces 408 hp and 700 Nm, exactly twice the power and torque of LX 80 AT, while weighing 140 kg more. It also offers 222 hp more than LX 60 AT and LX 70 AT for a 280 kg weight increase. Its approximately 5.34 kg-per-hp figure is dramatically lower than the 10.00–10.22 kg-per-hp figures of the FWD versions.

On specifications alone, LX 80D AT is the clearest performance choice, LX 80 AT is the middle-ground FWD choice, and LX 60 AT and LX 70 AT are mechanically tied. No recommendation can be made on price, value per dollar, interior equipment, reliability, battery capacity, or driving range because those facts are not measured in the supplied data.
