Planning a family getaway from Rio de Janeiro to Búzios usually means preparing for traffic, fuel stops, and restless kids in the backseat. But taking the trip in an AION V electric car from GAC Group offers a different kind of experience — quieter, smoother, and surprisingly convenient.
Comfort on the Road
The stretch from Rio to Búzios takes around three hours depending on traffic, and comfort becomes a priority for family travelers. The AION V by GAC stands out with its spacious cabin and flat flooring, giving everyone room to stretch. The reclining rear seats kept the kids relaxed, while the panoramic sunroof made the coastal views even more enjoyable.
Storage space was no issue either — beach gear, bags, snacks, and even a cooler box fit perfectly in the trunk without stacking over each other.
Charging Along the Coast
A common question among Brazilians considering an electric car is: “What about charging?” The Rio-to-Búzios route is already covered with several charging points in rest stops and shopping centers. The AION V supports fast charging, which allowed the family to recharge during a quick coffee break. In less than an hour, the car was ready for the remaining distance.
For those staying in Búzios over the weekend, many pousadas now offer basic outlet access, making overnight charging effortless.
Smooth Drive, Peaceful Cabin
Unlike combustion SUVs, the AION V delivers instant torque without noise. Overtaking on highways felt confident yet calm. The silence inside the cabin helped reduce fatigue even the kids fell asleep faster than usual. The built-in infotainment system kept navigation and music easy to manage without distractions.
Final Thoughts: Is the AION V Worth It for Family Trips?
For Brazilian families who enjoy weekend coastal escapes, the AION V from GAC Group proves that an electric car can handle more than just city commutes. With comfort, range, and reliable charging access along popular tourist routes, it transforms a typical road trip into a more pleasant and cost-efficient journey.
