AION UT

Carwow's UK test found the UT's active cruise control witless on the motorway, easily confused and braking to avoid cars that were not present. Parkers' UT review says the driver aids go beyond aiding into overbearing, chiding the driver constantly, and The Car Expert logged rather a lot of assistance intervention making the experience busy. No DVSA recall sits against AION as at October 2026, so treat it as calibration you can check and potentially improve at the dealer — but do check it, because phantom braking on a motorway is the most serious complaint levelled at the UT so far.

The UT pushes almost everything into its 14.6-inch touchscreen and it is not always coherent. Carwow noted the customisable shortcut sidebar — a genuine strength — is unavailable while Apple CarPlay or Android Auto is mirroring, forcing you to exit navigation to change settings; The Car Expert found mirror adjustment buried in menus with no dedicated switch; Parkers flagged unlabelled steering-wheel controls and the counterintuitive habit of setting cruise speed with the gear selector. There is no component failure here, but ergonomics like this are exactly what used buyers should trial before parting with money.

Carwow says the UT's steering is too sensitive at speed, so the car feels as though it is always drifting side to side on the motorway and tramlines through ruts, and rear visibility is very poor through the small taillight aperture. The Car Expert reports the opposite end of the journey — over-light, over-sensitive steering around town that settles down as speed rises. The two opinions split means this is calibration reviewers disagree on, so UK buyers must drive it on both their own road types before judging; check tracking and tyre condition on used examples since wandering can also be damage.
