While a select few major carmakers have
announced that they will not be taking part in the 2020 Geneva Motor Show, for
startups like Aiways, these events are prime time as they offer them the
opportunity steal some of the limelight from established companies and spread
the word around.
The Chinese carmaker announced that it
will host the world premiere of the U6ion concept at the Swiss event, without
revealing anything else about the car at this time. Joining it on stage will be
the European version of the U5. The electric SUV is planned to launch in the
Old Continent in the second quarter of the year and is expected to start at
around € 25,000 (US$ 27,700). This would make it much more affordable than other
zero-emission high riders and would place it in the same zone as some small
hatchbacks, such as the Renault Zoe, which can be had from € 22,000 (US$ 24,400) in
Germany.
The two products will be presented on
March 13, at 13:15 (7:15 a.m. EST) during the Aiways press conference in Hall
2, at stand #2121. As always, the CarScoops team will be reporting live from
the Swiss event. In the meantime, you can check out our dedicated Geneva Motor
Show hub for all the latest news.
