Aiways ‘Smart Factory’ in Shangrao, China has completed the first batch of pre-production vehicles for its second model, the all-electric U6 intelligent SUV coupé. The Aiways U6 will sit alongside the popular U5 electric SUV in an expanding line-up of zero-emissions Aiways models.

The pre-production phase is an important milestone in batch verification before mass production commences. These vehicles will be used in an essential part of the manufacturing process - to optimise and debug production equipment, and continuously improve the quality of parts and manufacturing processes to ensure excellent product quality. Pre-production cars will be used for a series of tests on the Aiways U6 to hone sub-system functions, verify performance and optimise calibrations.

One vehicle has been adorned with the winning entry of the ‘Graphic Design Contest’ which invited creative painters to design a unique piece inspired by the phrase 'U6 in Your Mind'. 'Aiways Man' stood out from the other entries and won the “Best Design Award” by creating a vibrant and youthful idol who conveys the Aiways U6 owners’ positive and optimistic attitude towards life.

The Aiways U6 is a compelling offering in its segment, providing an ultramodern intelligent SUV coupe designed for those seeking zero-emissions mobility, outstanding performance and next generation technologies in a practical yet stylish package.

The Aiways U6 will become the second vehicle to be mass-produced on the company’s exclusive More Adaptable Structure (MAS) platform, with both models supporting a strategy to make zero-emission driving more attractive and accessible to younger, tech-focused car buyers. 

First unveiled as the U6ion concept in 2020, the Aiways U6 production model will retain many of the show-car’s features, including the panoramic dome roof and distinctive rear light matrix.

The Aiways U6 is already available for pre-sale in China for a small deposit, with the European pre-sale set to start later this year.
