Aiways U5 in 2020: limited stock, discount per kilometer

Earlier today it was announced that the electric Aiways U5 has arrived in the Netherlands. The car is even available this year, but only in a special ‘Showroom’ version. The cars in question appear to have a special past, but also potentially bring a discount.

The Aiways U5 is available as Standard and Premium, but initially also appears as ‘Showroom’. That seems a somewhat strange name for a performance. We often see showroom cars and / or demonstration models, but these are often recently used copies of existing versions. In the case of the Aiways U5, however, the ‘Showroom’ appears to hang between the Standard and the Premium when it comes to equipment and price. Moreover, Aiways has only just started, so there can hardly be an abundance of used showroom cars

Henk Kassens of Aiways Distribution Netherlands is happy to explain the situation. “These are cars that were intended for rental company Hertz. That had a big deal with Aiways and wanted to use the cars in Corsica. However, the corona virus threw a spanner in the works, so these cars can now come to the Netherlands. ”

That is of course good news for the business driver, because it seems that only this ‘Showroom’ version will be available this year. Although the cars have not yet been registered abroad, according to Aiways, there are copies that already have some kilometers on the clock. This concerns a maximum of 4,000 km. Buyers of such a copy will of course receive a discount: the price of € 41,850 will be reduced by one euro for every kilometer over 100 km. The tax value, which serves as the basis for the addition, will of course remain the same. In the case of this introductory version, this value is € 40,934.

At the moment there are 100 such Showroom U5s ready at Aiways. However, the stock will be replenished, because another thirty copies are expected next week. Compared to the basic version, the ‘Corsican’ U5 gets leatherette upholstery, larger wheels and more color options. Special: the colors ‘Azur Blue’ and ‘Carmin Red’ are only available on this version. The technology is obviously not tinkered with, so the Showroom also has 204 hp, a battery of 63 kWh and a theoretical range of 400 km.

Kudelstaart

Many hip start-ups settle in a location that appeals to the imagination as well as awkwardly as the center of Amsterdam. Aiways knows how to resist that temptation and settles in Breukelen and Kudelstaart. We already knew that, but now it becomes clear that Kudelstaart is the place where people have to go to view and test the car. You can also order there, but also online. In addition, it will soon be announced which existing party may carry out maintenance on the cars.
