SYDNEY, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- GAC AION UT has won Best Exterior Design at the 2026 Torino Automotive Design Award. Discover GAC's compact electric hatchback, its local assembly in Austria and ongoing expansion across European markets.
GAC's AION UT has won Best Exterior Design at the 2026 Torino Automotive Design Award (TADA), held during the 2026 Torino Auto Show. The award recognizes the model's distinctive visual identity and its combination of design expression and everyday practicality.
The TADA jury highlighted AION UT's clean, cohesive design, balanced proportions and distinctive character. Its smooth surfaces and carefully considered details create a recognizable silhouette without excessive decoration. The jury also praised the spacious, thoughtfully designed cabin as evidence of the vehicle's overall design coherence.
Designed in Milan by GAC's Milan Design Center, AION UT balances functionality and personality. Its compact body is paired with a 2,750 mm wheelbase, helping create a spacious and versatile interior for daily use. The model offers up to 430 km of range under the WLTP cycle, supporting regular commuting and longer journeys.
The AION UT is assembled at the Magna facility in Graz, Austria. Local assembly increases supply chain flexibility and allows GAC to respond more efficiently to European market needs. Following its European debut at Milan Design Week in 2025, the model is currently available in Greece, Poland, Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom. Further European market launches are planned.
GAC has also recently expanded its sports marketing activities in Europe through a strategic partnership with Villarreal CF. As the club's Official Automotive Partner, GAC will have its logo displayed on the left sleeve of Villarreal CF's first‑team match shirts in LaLiga and the UEFA Champions League. The two organizations also plan to collaborate on match‑related communications, brand experiences and fan engagement.
GAC AION UT and AION V, two key models in GAC's European lineup, will feature in related brand and fan activities. These will give consumers opportunities to experience the AION UT compact electric hatchback and the AION V electric SUV developed for European families.
These developments come as GAC advances its European Market Plan, encompassing new product introductions, sales channel development, service support and localized operations. Under its One GAC 2.0 global strategy and Local For Local approach, GAC is working to strengthen its long‑term presence, serve local customers and create lasting value with regional partners.

GAC AION UT | Best Exterior Design at 2026 Torino Automotive Design Award
DELRAY BEACH, Fla., Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AWOL Vision, a global home entertainment brand delivering immersive audiovisual experiences through large-format displays, home cinema technology, and connected entertainment, announced that the AWOL LuxVision, first unveiled at IFA 2026, is now officially available for pre-order. Customers can reserve LuxVision with a $100 / €100 / £100 deposit to unlock exclusive Super Early Bird Benefits ahead of its official launch.
This world's first UST projector with optional lens shift is designed to adapt to the changing ways people use their big screens, delivering a tailored experience for every scenario. The big screen is no longer just for movie nights. Gaming is moving toward higher frame rates, sports fans are following multiple live events at once, and home theaters are becoming a more integrated part of everyday living spaces.
Built for Every Big Screen Moment
Today's gamers expect a big screen to be just as fast and responsive as the games they play. Size alone isn't enough when the experience can't keep pace with the action. LuxVision delivers 4K at 120Hz from input to output, bringing sharper, smoother motion to the giant screen. With 1ms input lag at 4K 120Hz, VRR and ALLM, gameplay stays fast and responsive. 6,000 ISO lumens help maintain vivid images even in real-home lighting, while Dolby Vision Gaming further enhances compatible titles. Together, these features bring the high refresh rates, brightness and low latency of modern gaming to a truly cinematic scale.
Bringing that big screen experience home means making it work with the space you already have. Lens shift has long given long-throw projectors more flexibility in installation, but UST owners haven't had the same option. LuxVision changes that with the industry's first vertical lens shift for UST, allowing users to move the image vertically within a 142–152% offset range without cropping, scaling, or sacrificing true 4K detail. This makes it easier to install, fine-tune, or upgrade a UST setup without having to reposition the screen or replace existing furniture. Combined with its 0.18:1 ultra-short-throw ratio, LuxVision can project a 120-inch image from just 7.5 inches away, bringing a giant screen into the room while taking up remarkably little space.
And all that big screen can do more than show one thing at a time. For sports fans, that means no longer having to choose between games when several big matchups are happening at once. With LuxVision's optional Multiview upgrade, users can connect multiple wired and wireless sources and enjoy up to four views simultaneously on one massive screen. Viewers can keep the main event front and center while following other matchups and key moments at the same time, turning the screen into a complete game-day hub.
Behind all of these experiences is AWOL's flagship imaging platform. LuxVision features an RGB triple-laser light source covering 110% of Rec.2020, along with a 10,000:1 native contrast ratio with IRIS, seven-level Dynamic IRIS and Enhanced Black Level (EBL™) technology. It also supports Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and IMAX Enhanced. Anti-RBE Technology II is designed to reduce rainbow artifacts during both 2D and 3D viewing.
Price and Availability
LuxVision is available for reservation from September 14 through November 2 on AWOL's official website. Customers who place a $100, €100, or £100 deposit can lock in the LuxVision Cinema System Launch Offer, which includes the LuxVision Cinema System and one of two eligible screen options: a 100"–150" New Gen Fresnel ALR Screen ($999–$4,999) or a 100"–120" New Gen Floor-Rising ALR Screen ($1,999–$2,999).
LuxVision will officially launch on November 3, with an MSRP of $5,999 / €5,999 / £4,999. LuxVision is offered in three standard finishes: Eclipse Platinum, Boreal Oak, and Champagne Walnut. Customers may also choose a Custom CMF (Color, Material, and Finish) option for an additional $1,000 or add 4-channel HDMI Multiview for an additional $500.
