What Does the AION UT Launch Offer Include?
For the September launch month only, the AION UT is available on a personal contract purchase (PCP), the UK’s most common new-car finance structure, from £349 per month at 0% APR through AION Financial Services. The figures are based on a 48-month agreement at 6,000 miles per year and are subject to finance approval.
The offer requires a customer deposit of £1,949 (about $2,640). That figure includes a £500 (about $677) AION deposit contribution for all retail customers who take a test drive and place an order for the AION UT during September. The September offers apply to eligible vehicles ordered during the month and delivered by October 31, 2026, subject to availability.
Pricing, Range and Charging
The AION UT is priced from £28,950 (about $39,210) on-the-road, the UK convention that includes VAT, first-year vehicle tax, registration and delivery. AION positions the hatchback as offering interior space, range, quality and equipment more typically found in larger vehicles at higher price points.
The company reports a 268-mile combined range on the WLTP cycle as standard, with 30–80% rapid charging in 24 minutes. WLTP figures are European test-cycle values and are not directly comparable with EPA ratings, which typically return lower numbers.
AION says the UT’s chassis has been tuned specifically for UK roads. The model earned a five-star rating in Euro NCAP’s latest round of testing under the body’s 2026 protocols.
Eight-Year Ownership Package and Aftersales
Every AION UT is covered by the AION Great 8 Promise: an eight-year warranty, eight years of servicing, eight years of roadside assistance, and MOT cover — the UK’s annual roadworthiness inspection — until the car is eight years old. The package is tied to the VIN and fully transferable to subsequent owners, according to the company.
Jon Wakefield, Managing Director, AION Auto UK, said: “We’re kicking off our AION UT sales with a pair of hugely attractive offers for this September launch month. Its class-leading space, quality, range and features puts it head and shoulders above the competition, and the finance offers make it fantastic value for our first customers placing their orders before the end of September.”
While AION continues to build out its UK retail network, servicing, maintenance and repair are available nationwide through a partnership with the AA, including its network of accredited workshops and more than 140 mobile service technicians.
