Shanghai – Aiways, the Shanghai-based personal mobility provider, has today revealed new images of its next electric vehicle, the Aiways U6. Showcasing the X-type shark nose design, the Aiways U6 displays bold yet ‘pure’ design principles.
The design team has carried over many elements from the initial U6 ion concept while pursuing a pure and simple form language at the heart of the company’s design ethos. Standout design features include a panoramic dome roof and a distinctive rear light matrix inspired by flowing water.
Aerodynamic performance was a key focus of the Aiways’ design team, employing design details to ensure a clean separation of airflow, thereby reducing drag. The muscular ‘sports waistline’ and ‘blade of light’ C-pillar combine to give the vehicle outstanding road presence and a sporty feel.
The sporty yet simple design approach continues inside the cabin which hosts a ‘suspended’ steering wheel, frameless screens with smart-touch technology, wireless mobile charging, customizable interior lighting, wing seats and a sci-fi inspired shift handle design.
The Aiways U6 will become the second vehicle to be mass-produced on the company’s exclusive MAS (More Adaptable Structure) platform. It will sit alongside the Aiways U5 in the line-up, making zero-emission driving more attractive and accessible to younger, tech-focused car buyers. The Aiways U6 will go on sale in China and Europe later this year.
