Jon was excellent throughout the process, and really worked hard for me. There was a small price discrepancy, as the “in stock deal” on the website only indicated the price for a base model without any additional options, which was not actually possible to order - which I felt was a little misleading. However, Jon worked up a deal I was happy with, and communicated very well throughout the process - including following up with some issues after delivery. I will definitely use again.

Yeh, good service a bit of headache filling forms couple of times but turn around was very good and with the maintenance cover it’s peace of mind.
What's great: I'm now driving a lovely Lexus at a far more affordable price than I could find elsewhere. My contract includes a full maintenance deal which isn't always available with other providers. The sales process and arranging the finance was a good experience, with lots of support from Dave. Thanks Dave! BUT ... Once the contract had been agreed, communication was terrible. I was told that I would get access to the portal (which is the only way to track progress) 'shortly': it took 2 weeks and multiple phone calls and emails (initiated by me)to gain access. Promises to phone me back were not met. In the end, Dave sorted it out. Thanks Dave. The portal looked promising as it appeared that I could track my car's journey from the factory in Japan to delivery. However, apart from me uploading identity documents to it (not acknowledged until I got in contact), the portal did not change except to put my expected delivery date back a month (no explanation). Then out of the blue, the Lexus dealership phoned me to say that my car was ready for collection. This was surprising as the portal located the car in Japan, and gave me a bit of a dilemma as I needed to get rid of my current car at very short notice (anyone looking for an Audi Q2?). Nothing from Select Car until I contacted them to say where the car was. Their failure to contact me was apparently the Lexus dealership's fault in some way ... which I find hard to believe to be honest. I made the decision to collect the car rather than have it delivered, in order to get a proper dealership handover, which I was told was fine. Only nothing happened until I phoned Select Car and was told that I had to arrange collection directly with the dealer. That was news to me, but I did it, and was then sent regular emails informing me that my car was due to be delivered to my house on that date. A few more phone calls followed to sort that out ... Maybe I just had a poor experience. Maybe if you go for a car that is in stock rather than a factory order the process might be smoother. At the end of the day, I did get my car at a good price and within the original time frame, so on reflection I've changed my rating from 3 to 4 stars. But it was a frustrating journey which some joined-up communications at Select Car would have made a happier overall experience.
About the Aion V
The Aion V is a tough-looking C-segment SUV that’s similar in size to cars like the Toyota RAV4 or Kia Sportage while also competing with EVs like the Skoda Enyaq, Tesla Model Y and VW ID.4.
It debuted in 2026 and marked Aion’s arrival in the UK leasing market.
A sophisticated and roomy cabin promises a lounge-like experience while the exterior design features the firm’s signature ‘cyber-dragon claw’ front and rear lights and streamlined hidden door handles.
A panoramic sunroof with electric blinds, large 19-inch alloys and an efficiency-boosting heat pump all come fitted as standard.
Why lease the Aion V?
One of the Aion V’s big plus points is its plush and comfortable cabin, which boasts quilted leatherette upholstery and sound-suppressing double-glazed front windows. As Aion points out, they add to a ‘premium ambience more commonly found in higher end brands in the segment above’.
Select ‘Rest Mode’ and the front seats recline to horizontal, the roof sunblind closes and the ambient lighting pulses to mimic gentle breathing. A dedicated ‘Lounge Mode’ offers similar relaxation levels for when you want to watch a movie on the central display.
The Aion V is lavishly equipped as standard, with all models boasting a 14.6-inch touchscreen with four-zone voice control, wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, heated and ventilated seats in the front, heated seats in the rear, and wireless phone charging.
Choose the additional Premium pack and you even get a ‘CoolHot Box’ in the centre console with heating, freezing and refrigeration functions.

Aion V Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Aion is an electric subdivision of Chinese giant Guangzhou Automobile Group (GAC) and the V has been jointly created by GAC and automotive distributor Jameel Motors. The Aion V has, however, been produced to cater for UK customers, with its suspension set-up calibrated for British driving habits and roads.
The Aion V begins at £36,450 OTR in the UK, which gives it a price point similar to rival EVs like the VW ID.4, Skoda Enyaq, Nissan Ariya and Renault Scenic E-Tech.
With an Aion V lease, a 75.3 kWh battery unlocks a range of up to 317 miles between charges. That’s highly competitive for the class but does fall short of long range variants of the VW ID.4 and Skoda Enyaq, among others.
The Aion V is designed as a fast-charging EV, with DC rapid charging speeds peaking at 180 kW DC. That enables a swift charge from 10-80% in around 24 minutes. Using an 11 kW AC charger, a full replenish takes around 8.5 hours.
The Aion V is a medium sized SUV that’s similar in size to cars like the Toyota RAV4, Kia Sportage or VW Tiguan. When it comes to fellow electric rivals, the Aion V competes with alternatives like the VW ID.4, Skoda Enyaq, Nissan Ariya, and Toyota bZ4X.
