AION Arrives at JCT600 South Leeds

Chinese brand AION is the latest addition to the JCT600 brand portfolio, further strengthening our electric vehicle offering.

AION Arrives at JCT600 South Leeds

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

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. 

Craig Saunders, brand director for JCT600 Approved and XPENG, said:

“The arrival of AION is another milestone in the development of our electric vehicle offering. Leeds continues to be an important location for us as we build out a dedicated EV hub. “Bringing AION on board alongside XPENG allows us to offer customers in the region a wider choice of new electric vehicles, supported by our existing sales and aftersales teams.”

AION Auto UK managing director, Jon Wakefield, said:

“Launching with JCT600 is a significant development for AION in the UK. The South Leeds site provides a strong platform for customers to experience the brand and access ongoing support from day one.”

John Tordoff, executive chairman of JCT600, added:

“The introduction of AION at Leeds is another example of how we are continuing to develop our electric vehicle retail strategy. “The combination of new EV brands at the dealership reflects our long-term commitment to developing locations that can support our customers and offer the widest choice of high-quality new brands as the EV market continues to evolve.”
AION Leeds

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.
