In a significant move to reinforce its competitive edge in the compact electric vehicle (EV) segment, Aion has officially launched the AION UT 330 Starshine Edition on April 29. Priced at just ¥73,800, the model becomes even more attractive after applying national replacement subsidies, with the final cost reduced to only ¥58,800. As an enhanced version of the previously released 330 Star Edition, the Starshine Edition adds a suite of practical features focused on comfort, safety, and daily usability—without altering the highly affordable positioning.
A New Entry-Level EV Packed with Practical Enhancements
The AION UT 330 Starshine Edition retains the same core technical specs as the 330 Star Edition—100kW permanent magnet synchronous motor and 330km CLTC-rated range—but adds seven key upgrades. These include rear parking radar, misstep prevention during reverse, LED daytime running lights, full underbody protection, heated side mirrors, automatic rain-sensing wipers, and cruise control. These additions address user feedback for greater driving convenience and safety in both urban and suburban environments.
The compact hatchback features the same generous proportions, with a length of 4270mm and a 2750mm wheelbase, offering spacious interior dimensions for a vehicle in its class. The Starshine Edition continues to use a 34.8kWh lithium iron phosphate battery with a fast charging time of 30–80% in just 0.4 hours—making it an excellent choice for city commuters and short-haul drivers looking for quick turnaround times.
Modern Tech and Urban Efficiency at a Budget-Friendly Price
The AION UT series has earned a reputation for providing affordable electric mobility without sacrificing quality or user experience. The 330 Starshine Edition is no exception. It includes a 14.6-inch HD floating infotainment touchscreen powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon platform, supporting intelligent voice control, smartphone connectivity (including CarPlay and HUAWEI HiCar), and OTA updates. Paired with an 8.88-inch digital instrument panel and an optional HUD, the system elevates the overall driving interface for budget-conscious EV buyers.
Despite its entry-level price, the model includes a smart cabin layout using environmentally friendly materials, a CN95-grade air filtration system, and thoughtful details such as a 440L expandable trunk space and multiple USB/Type-C charging ports. Although rear seats and certain luxury features remain minimal to control costs, the Starshine Edition balances essentials with surprising sophistication.

With the UT 330 Starshine Edition, Aion targets young urban users, ride-hailing platforms, and first-time EV buyers looking for maximum value. By focusing on practical upgrades that matter in real-world driving—like improved visibility, driving comfort, and minor automation—the new variant fills the gap between basic commuter EVs and pricier smart EVs.
Although it lacks higher-level ADAS or dual-motor performance models like the AION UT 420 version, the Starshine Edition excels as a no-nonsense, efficient EV option priced below most fuel-based alternatives.
