History
The Aion LX was unveiled at Auto Shanghai in April 2019. The LX started pre-sale in August 2019 and production in October 2019.

It is the second vehicle sold under the GAC New Energy Aion sub-brand after the Aion S.

Aion LX Fuel Cell
On 28 July 2020 at the GAC Tech Day event, GAC presented a fuel cell version of the Aion LX with a different grille from that of the electric version for hydrogen technology testing purposes. The Aion LX Fuel Cell has a fueling time of 3–5 minutes and a NEDC range exceeding 650 km.

Aion LX Plus
Unveiled in November 2021, the Aion LX Plus is an updated variant of the all-electric Aion LX which is slightly longer, features a different styling (taking design cues from the smaller Aion V Plus) and is equipped with a 144.4 kWh battery. The battery uses silicon sponge technology in its anode.

Features
The Aion LX's roof has solar panels that are used to heat and cool the interior. Unmanned parking and level 4 autonomous driving is also featured in the LX. Front passenger seat can be automatically moved forwards from the rear control panel similar to Mercedes S-Class. The rear seats have fold out leg supports.

Exterior
The Aion LX's exterior uses the same design cues as the Aion S and V, with the same front and headlight design and rear taillight bar. Gloss black aerodynamic wheel covers, carbon wing mirrors and carbon C-pillar can be optioned.

Hycan 007
In April 2019, GAC and Nio announced they would form a joint venture electric vehicle brand called Hycan.

Hycan later revealed the 007, an Aion LX with redesigned front/rear ends, interior, and wheels which also has a range of 399 mi, 26 mi more than the LX 80D Max's (top trim level) which only has a range of 373 mi.

The Hycan 007 is a mid-size electric Sport utility vehicle produced since April 2020.

On 20 May 2019, Hycan revealed the 007 concept, an Aion LX (produced by GAC New Energy) with a redesigned front and rear end, interior, and wheel design. The production model was yet to be revealed and multiple teasers were shown before the upcoming revealing.

On 27 December 2019, the largely unchanged production Hycan 007 was revealed and went on pre-sale before being officially listed for sale in the Chinese market in April 2020 at a starting price of 262,000 Chinese yuan (US$37,343).

The 007 is available in three trim levels, Base, Plus, and Top. The Base trim level has a 73 kWh battery pack with a NEDC range of 523 km and a 0 - 100 km/h acceleration time of 8.2 seconds, while the higher-level Plus and Top trims both have a 93 kWh battery with a NEDC range of up to 643 km and a 0 - 100 km/h acceleration time of 7.9 seconds.
