We're continuing to grow our electric vehicle offering with the launch of our first AION dealership at JCT600 Approved South Leeds.
The new addition sees us become an authorised AION retail partner as the Chinese electric vehicle brand establishes its UK network. The dealership adds another electric vehicle franchise to our growing brand portfolio and will serve customers across Leeds, Yorkshire and the wider region.
AION will be represented alongside Chinese brand XPENG at our South Leeds facility, which has become a growing hub for electric vehicle sales and support. The dealership will provide full AION sales and aftersales services available from our manufacturer-trained team.
The showroom space will initially have up to 6 display and demonstrator vehicles for customers to experience the first model available - the all-electric AION V family SUV.

John Tordoff, executive chairman of JCT600, added:
AION was founded in 2017 by GAC Group, one of China’s largest automotive manufacturers. The brand sold more than 300,000 vehicles in China last year and is expanding into the UK as part of its international growth strategy.
It's an exciting time as we welcome another Chinese brand to our portfolio alongside Changan and XPENG, further strengthening our EV offering and expanding customer choice.
