2026 Sales & Market Ranking
The Aion + Hyptec business unit delivered 174,938 vehicles in H1 2026, up 15% year-on-year, against an industry-wide double-digit decline - a resilient result. June was 33,682 units. Aion's i60 and Hyptec's S600 support the portfolio.
Development Status
Aion stabilizes the mainstream while Hyptec trials the high end; overseas exports add incremental volume and reduce pure-domestic dependence. The group is also battling group-level profit pressure.
