Overview
- GAC and Magna confirmed the start of European series production for the Aion V in Graz, with the announcement made Friday at the Guangzhou motor show.
- Magna will perform final vehicle assembly, while GAC retains responsibility for sales and distribution.
- Building the vehicles locally from semi knocked down kits allows the brand to avoid EU anti-subsidy tariffs on China-built electric cars.
- Neither company disclosed production volumes, capacity allocations, or the specific European markets to be supplied from Graz.
- Xpeng’s G6 and G9 have been assembled at the same Magna facility since September, and the Aion V now joins those models on the plant’s mixed production lines.
