The Qatari government has set a target in its "2030 National Vision" to replace all conventional cars with electric vehicles by 2030. Against this backdrop, GAC AION launched its brand in Qatar and introduced the AION Y Plus model, revitalizing the local electric vehicle market and promoting greener transportation solutions.

At the event, Marco Melani stated, "Tonight, we officially launch the AION brand and its first new energy model—the stylish and practical AION Y Plus. Qatar's electrification process is accelerating, and with the introduction of the AION brand, we will expand our electric product lineup further, bringing models like the Haobo HT, Haobo GT, and Haobo SSR to market to meet the diverse needs of Qatari consumers."

Xizhongmin shared the development history of the AION brand and future vehicle plans, showcasing the brand's confidence and innovation in the international market. He emphasized, "GAC AION adheres to the 'Sustainable Leadership' strategy, achieving full-stack in-house research and development for EVs and intelligent connected vehicles. We have built a strong technological moat with a competitive lineup of cars, SUVs, and supercars. We are honored to bring the best-selling Chinese smart electric SUV, the AION Y Plus, to Qatar, hoping it will lead a new trend with its perfect blend of style and technology."

The launch event featured a unique laser vocal and automotive performance show, highlighting the young, trendy, and innovative spirit of the AION Y Plus. Product pricing analyst Mark Miranda provided attendees with detailed insights into the AION Y Plus's performance features and technological advantages.

As GAC's first all-electric SUV in Qatar, the AION Y Plus combines innovation, intelligence, uniqueness, and safety.
