Aiways U6: Which Version Should You Buy?

The Aiways U6 range has one generation and two electric, front-wheel-drive versions: AT Long Range with 215 hp and AT with 218 hp. Both produce 321 Nm, use an Automatic gearbox with 1 forward gear, reach 160 km/h, and have identical listed suspension and brake specifications. The main measurable difference is small: AT has 3 hp more, while AT Long Range reaches 100 km/h 0.1 seconds sooner.

The main measurable difference is small: AT has 3 hp more, while AT Long Range reaches 100 km/h 0.1 seconds sooner. Because price, electric range, battery capacity, dimensions, weight, equipment, reliability, and parts information are not provided, those factors cannot be used to declare either version the better purchase.

Aiways U6 generations: what changed?

There is only 1 generation of the Aiways U6 in the supplied catalogue data, so there is no older generation to compare with a newer one. Production began in October 2022 and no stop date is listed. The body is SUV 5-doors, and the generation contains 2 versions: AT Long Range and AT.

No restyling or separate later generation is identified. Consequently, searches for an Aiways U6 2025 car do not point to a distinct generation in this dataset: the catalogue describes the same generation that began in October 2022. What changed between generations is therefore not applicable because only one generation is recorded.

Aiways U6 specs and engine comparison

Both versions use Electro power and fuel classifications, FWD, and an Automatic gearbox with 1 gear. Engine displacement, cylinder count, cylinder layout, and boost are not measured for either version.

AT218 hp / 160 kW321 Nmnot measuredElectronot measurednot measurednot measuredAutomatic, 1 gearFWD

The AT advantage is 3 hp and 2 kW. That is approximately 1.4% more horsepower than AT Long Range, but it brings no listed torque increase: both remain at 321 Nm.

Power per litre cannot be calculated because displacement is not measured. Weight per horsepower also cannot be calculated because kerb weight is not measured. These missing figures prevent meaningful comparisons based on specific output or power-to-weight ratio.

Performance, acceleration, top speed, and economy

Despite having 3 hp less, AT Long Range is 0.1 seconds quicker from 0 to 100 km/h. This is a difference of about 1.4% relative to the AT result. The data do not explain why, so the difference should not be attributed to battery, software, tires, weight, or any other unlisted factor.

Top speed does not separate the versions: both are listed at 160 km/h. City, highway, and combined consumption are not measured for either version. Electric range and battery capacity are also not measured, so the Long Range name alone cannot establish how much farther AT Long Range travels.

Aiways U6 dimensions, weight, clearance, and wheels

The catalogue does not provide enough measurements to compare the physical specifications of AT Long Range and AT.

AT Long Rangenot measurednot measurednot measurednot measurednot measurednot measured
ATnot measurednot measurednot measurednot measurednot measurednot measurednot measured

Neither version has a measured kerb weight, gross weight, ground clearance, tank capacity, or wheel size in the supplied data. Overall exterior dimensions are likewise not measured. It is therefore impossible to determine from this catalogue whether one version is lighter, has different wheels, provides more clearance, or occupies a different amount of road space.

Suspension and brakes

There is no listed chassis difference between the versions. AT Long Range and AT both have an Independent, spring front suspension and an Independent, spring rear suspension. Each uses Ventilated disc front brakes and Disc rear brakes.

Those matching specifications mean the supplied data offer no reason to choose one version for a different suspension layout or brake type. Any difference in ride, handling, stopping performance, or tire fitment is not measured.

Which Aiways U6 version should you choose?

Choose AT Long Range if the supplied acceleration figure matters most. Its 6.9-second 0–100 km/h time is 0.1 seconds quicker than the 7-second result for AT. It otherwise matches AT for the listed 321 Nm torque, 160 km/h top speed, Automatic 1-gear transmission, FWD layout, suspension types, and brake types.

Choose AT if maximum listed power is the priority. It produces 218 hp and 160 kW, giving it 3 hp and 2 kW more than AT Long Range. That extra output does not produce a better listed acceleration time or top speed, however: AT is 0.1 seconds slower to 100 km/h and shares the same 160 km/h maximum.

There is no data-based answer to what extra money buys because Aiways U6 price information is not provided. The same limitation applies to cars for sale, interior equipment, electric range, battery specifications, parts availability, problems, and reliability. On the measurable figures alone, AT Long Range is the acceleration-led choice, while AT is the power-led choice. Neither has a decisive overall advantage in the supplied specifications.
