The AION UT achieved its high marks by balancing performance across four evaluation pillars: safe driving, crash avoidance, crash protection, and post-crash safety. The vehicle’s structural integrity relies on a body composition featuring 71% high-strength steel, a one-piece hot-stamped dual-ring design, and an 180mm crash box. These physical reinforcements are paired with occupant safety features including 2.1-meter side air curtains and far-side airbag protection.

Beyond its steel frame, the hatchback integrates advanced driver-assistance technology. This includes full-scenario active safety algorithms and a suite of cabin monitoring systems, such as CPD, DMS, and OMS. The inclusion of GAC’s proprietary magazine battery technology further contributes to the vehicle's safety profile, distinguishing it within the small electric car segment.
