JERUSALEM, Sept. 4 (Xinhua) -- Chinese automaker Guangzhou Automobile Group (GAC) launched a new electric car brand in Israel on Thursday at an event hosted by local importer Orion Mobility near Tel Aviv.
The brand will offer three models: the compact SUVs Aion V and Aion Y, and the mid-size coupe Hyptec HT.
The Aion V comes with a 75.3 kWh battery, a range of up to 510 km, a top speed of 160 km/h, and can fast-charge from 30 percent to 80 percent in 18 minutes. The Aion Y has a 63.2 kWh battery, a maximum range of 410 km, a top speed of 150 km/h, and a 34-minute fast-charge time.

Chinese manufacturers also led overall passenger car imports in the same period, with 65,834 gasoline and electric vehicles sold in Israel.
