Hycan ownership

On 10 April 2018, GAC Group and NIO Inc. established a joint venture called GAC-NIO New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., and almost a year later on 1 April 2019, GAC and NIO announced the upcoming revealing of a new brand and electric SUV under this joint venture.[1]

Models

Hycan 007

The Hycan 007 is a mid-size electric Sport utility vehicle produced since April 2020.

On 20 May 2019, Hycan revealed the 007 concept, an Aion LX (produced by GAC New Energy) with a redesigned front and rear end, interior, and wheel design.[2] The production model was yet to be revealed and multiple teasers were shown before the upcoming revealing.[3]

On 27 December 2019, the largely unchanged production Hycan 007 was revealed and went on pre-sale before being officially listed for sale in the Chinese market in April 2020 at a starting price of 262,000 Chinese yuan (37,343 USD).[4][5]

The 007 is available in three trim levels, Base, Plus, and Top. The Base trim level has a 73 kWh (260 MJ) battery pack with a NEDC range of 523 km (325 mi) and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 8.2 seconds, while the higher-level Plus and Top trims both have a 93 kWh (330 MJ) battery with a NEDC range of up to 643 km (400 mi) and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 7.9 seconds.[6]
