Aion RT

Aion RT: Which Version to Buy and Why

The Aion RT range has one generation and two electric Sedan versions, both named AT in the catalogue. To distinguish them accurately, this guide identifies them as AT (204 hp) and AT (224 hp). Both have Automatic transmissions, one forward gear, FWD, and a top speed of 163.

The Aion RT range has one generation and two electric Sedan versions, both named AT in the catalogue. To distinguish them accurately, this guide identifies them as AT (204 hp) and AT (224 hp). Both have Automatic transmissions, one forward gear, FWD, and a top speed of 163. The practical choice therefore comes down to power: AT (224 hp) provides 20 hp and 14 kW more than AT (204 hp), while the supplied data shows no difference in top speed, drivetrain, transmission, suspension, or brakes. Price information is not available, so the extra money required—and whether that premium represents good value—cannot be assessed from the catalogue data.

Aion RT generations: what changed?

The Aion RT has one generation, so there is no earlier or later generation to compare. The 1 generation entered production in 2024 and remains in production. It is a Sedan offered in two versions. No restyling is listed in the supplied data.

Because both versions belong to the same generation and share the same start date, the choice is not between different body styles or production periods. It is a direct comparison between two power outputs within the same electric Aion RT range.

Aion RT specs and engine comparison

Both catalogue entries carry the exact version name AT. Their power ratings must therefore remain attached whenever they are discussed.

The AT (224 hp) version exceeds the AT (204 hp) version by 20 hp. Measured in kilowatts, the difference is 14 kW. That gives the higher-output version about 9.8% more horsepower and about 9.3% more kilowatt output than the lower-powered alternative.

Power per litre cannot be calculated because displacement is not measured for either AT version. Weight per horsepower also cannot be calculated because kerb weight is not measured. Torque is not measured, so the catalogue cannot show how much the two versions differ in pulling force.

Aion RT performance and economy

The extra 20 hp in AT (224 hp) does not bring a higher listed top speed: both versions have a maximum speed of 163. Acceleration from 0–100 is not measured for either one, so the available figures do not establish whether the 224 hp version accelerates faster or by how much.

City, highway, and combined consumption are not measured for either version. Consequently, there is no catalogue evidence that AT (204 hp) uses less energy or that AT (224 hp) imposes an economy penalty. Driving range is also not measured, so range cannot be used to choose between them.

Gearbox, drive, suspension, and brakes

The two Aion RT versions have the same listed running gear. AT (204 hp) uses an Automatic transmission with 1 forward gear and FWD; AT (224 hp) also uses an Automatic transmission with 1 forward gear and FWD.

Both versions have Independent, spring front suspension and Semi-independent, springorts hélicoïdaux, sem rear suspension, using the English catalogue labels supplied for these fields. Both also have Ventilated disc front brakes and Disc rear brakes.

These specifications reveal no hardware distinction that would favor one version for a particular drivetrain layout or braking arrangement. On the supplied evidence, the higher output is the only measured difference between the two versions.

Aion RT dimensions and weight

Dimensions are not measured in the supplied catalogue data, so no numerical length, width, height, or wheelbase comparison can be made between AT (204 hp) and AT (224 hp).

Because kerb and gross weights are not measured, it is not possible to determine whether the more powerful version is heavier or whether its additional 20 hp improves its power-to-weight ratio. Ground clearance and wheel sizes are likewise not measured, leaving no numerical basis for comparing stance, clearance, or wheel specification.

The tank field is not measured for both electric versions. This should not be treated as evidence about battery capacity, because battery capacity is not measured in the supplied data either.

Aion RT price and what the extra money buys

Aion RT price information, including any price in China, is not available in the supplied data. The price difference between AT (204 hp) and AT (224 hp) is therefore not measured.

From the measurable specifications alone, moving from AT (204 hp) to AT (224 hp) buys:

• 20 additional hp
• 14 additional kW
• no increase over the shared top speed of 163
• no listed change from Automatic, 1, and FWD
• no listed change in suspension
• no listed change in front or rear brakes

Whether it also buys different equipment, greater range, faster acceleration, or a larger battery cannot be established because those details are not measured.

Which Aion RT version should you buy?

Choose AT (204 hp) if 204 hp and 150 kW meet your needs and the lower-powered version costs less in the market where you are shopping. The catalogue does not provide prices, however, so any claim that it is the better-value or cheaper Aion RT would require information beyond the supplied data.

Choose AT (224 hp) if the priority is the highest measured output available in this Aion RT generation. It provides 224 hp and 164 kW, gains 20 hp and 14 kW over AT (204 hp), and retains the same listed maximum speed of 163, Automatic transmission, 1 forward gear, and FWD.

There is no data-backed reason to choose between them on consumption, range, acceleration, weight, dimensions, clearance, or wheel size because all those comparison figures are not measured. The defensible buying decision is therefore simple: AT (224 hp) is the power-first choice, while AT (204 hp) is the alternative for buyers who do not need the additional 20 hp. A final value judgment depends on the real price premium, which is not measured in this catalogue data.
