Shanghai (Gasgoo)- On April 17, GAC AION, a new energy vehicle maker under GAC Group, announced a nationwide price reduction of 10,000 yuan across its entire AION S MAX lineup, bringing the starting price down to 139,900 yuan. The official poster also indicates that GAC AION is now offering a zero down payment option across its full range of models.

The AION S MAX officially hit the market on October 26, 2023 as a compact sedan. It comes with five trim levels, with prices ranging from 149,900 yuan to 202,900 yuan.

As a variant of the AION S, the AION S MAX shares a striking resemblance to the former in exterior design, but it has been extended in length and wheelbase, enhancing interior space.

In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor paired with a ternary lithium battery pack, achieving a maximum range of 610 km under the CLTC conditions.

It's noteworthy that this isn't the first price reduction for the AION S MAX this year. On March 5, GAC AION reduced the price of the AION S MAX Xinghan edition by 23,000 yuan, to 179,900 yuan. At that time, buyers also received a free charging pile valued at 4,999 yuan and a 6,000-yuan subsidy on purchases.

In fact, it's not just the AION S MAX alone. GAC AION has announced price cuts on several models since the beginning of this year to stay competitive amid the price cut spree rolled out by many other automakers.

For instance, on March 3, the AION Y Plus 310 Xingyao edition went on sale at 99,800 yuan. This model, serving as the entry-level option in its lineup, further lowered the starting price from the previous 119,800 yuan. It is equipped with a 100kw electric motor and a 37.9kwh battery, providing a CLTC-rated range of 310km.

On the evening of March 7, GAC AION officially announced a maximum price reduction of 23,000 yuan across all trims of the AION V Plus. Specifically, the AION V Plus 80 MAX's price has been reduced to 209,900 yuan, while the AION V Plus 80 and 70's Technology edition both come with a complimentary RPA (Remote Park Assist) system worth 12,400 yuan.

[Cobalt] Cobalt Powder Weekly Review

The cobalt powder market still showed no improvement this week, with both buyers and sellers lacking willingness to take the initiative and actual transactions remaining sluggish. Although producer offers still held in the range of 430,000-450,000 yuan/mt, the center of actual deals gradually shifted toward the low end, with some transactions dipping to 420,000-430,000 yuan/mt and high-priced material clearly lacking acceptance. Pressure in the trading segment increased, as low-priced offers appeared frequently and continuously pulled down market psychological price levels. Downstream, end-user orders at cemented carbide enterprises were weak, raw material consumption cycles lengthened, procurement was mainly limited to cargo pick-up under long-term contracts, and spot restocking was minimal. Weaker cobalt carbonate prices further weakened cost support. Overall market sentiment was bearish, and cobalt powder prices may continue to weaken and hit bottom in the short term.

[Cobalt] Cobalt Sulphate Weekly Review

This week, the cobalt sulphate market extended its weak trend, with psychological price levels between buyers and sellers continuing to diverge and transactions struggling to gain volume. Supply side, offers were clearly divergent: primary smelters had not yet fully digested earlier high-priced raw materials, and their offers remained around 80,000 yuan/mt, but with the MHP cobalt coefficient falling to around 80%, spot costs had already pulled back to 76,000-78,000 yuan/mt, and cost support had actually softened somewhat; recycling enterprises showed a stronger willingness to sell, with mainstream quotations at around 95% of the SMM low-end price, while some enterprises facing financial constraints continued to push down prices in exchange for liquidity, pushing low-priced resources in the market down to 70,000-72,000 yuan/mt, with a few isolated extreme deals heard at 68,000-70,000 yuan/mt, though still mainly sporadic spot orders. Demand side, conditions were weak, with downstream enterprises seeing only a slow recovery in orders, procurement limited to immediate needs, and some inquiry indications already pushed down to 68,000 yuan/mt, but the price spread between buyers and sellers remained wide, so actual concluded business was limited. In the short term, the cobalt sulphate market has yet to show clear signs of stopping the fall; price stabilisation still depends on a concentrated release of downstream restocking demand.
