Aiways U6: electric coupe crossover and what the buyer needs to know
Aiways U6 — the electric coupe-style crossover from the Chinese manufacturer that debuted in Europe in the 2020s. In this article, we look at what makes it special, what to know about the ride, and what to check when buying used.
U6 in brief
The U6 is a mid-sized electric crossover with a sleek coupe-style roof, modern design, and a large in-cabin screen. It's positioned as an accessible alternative to the electric coupe crossover offerings from established brands.
Aiways was a new brand in Europe, and its market position has evolved over time, so service availability is a particularly important aspect.
Who's it for?
The U6 is suited to daily urban use and trips when you want a spacious, modern, and quiet electric car. It's not a sports car, but it is comfortable.
The car comes with a fairly generous standard spec, but the software and screen controls might seem less refined to some drivers compared to those from larger manufacturers.
Electric drivetrain and charging
The U6 has around a 63 kWh battery and a single electric motor with front-wheel drive. The manufacturer's quoted WLTP range is around 400 km, but this will vary depending on speed, weather, and driving style.
Charging at a fast station is reasonably quick, but check the exact figures for the specific version's specification.
What to check when buying a used U6
Request the battery condition data, check if all software functions work and if the car has been serviced. Test the charging from alternating and direct current sources.
Check the availability of service and spare parts in Lithuania: due to the brand's market position, this might be more challenging than with cars from well-known manufacturers.
Trim levels
The U6 was offered in Europe with base versions; it's worth checking the exact equipment for the specific car.
