in MAEPS Serdang. The exclusive Malaysian distributor of the GAC Aion has previously promised that the EV will be released in MalaysiaThe Y Plus was first previewed by WTCA and GAC Aion to the Malaysian media earlier this year. However, they did not reveal the variants that will be released into our market as well as their pricing.
They did say that the Y Plus that is coming to Malaysia will feature a 63.2kWh battery and 150kW electric motor while capable of delivering a WLTP-rated range of 430km. Hence, we expected that the Malaysian unit would be identical to the 490 Elite or 490 Premium that are currently on sale in Thailand.
If our guess is correct, then the Malaysian variant should be capable of producing 225NM of maximum torque and can accelerate from 0-100km/h in 8.5 seconds. In addition to that, it should also feature a 7kW onboard AC charger with DC charging support of up to 80kW and Vehicle-To-Load capability of up to 3.3kW.Over in Thailand, the Y Plus 490 Elite is currently available for THB899,900 while the 490 Premium costs slightly higher at THB995,900 .
