GAC Aion unveiled the HYPTEC sub-brand and its EARTH show car at Auto Shanghai 2025. The concept showcases the brand’s core ideas: nature-inspired design, a sleek shooting-brake silhouette, and an emphasis on intelligent driver-assistance systems.
The exterior is built on clean surfaces and balanced proportions: a long hood, a flowing roofline, and a muscular rear that convey a planted, non-aggressive stance.
A signature H-shaped front links the car to future brand models, while the Obsidian Black finish and a “molten lava” motif reinforce the Earth theme.
Inside, organic shapes and a “floating” center bridge create a calm, cocooning sense of space.
The cabin features eco-materials—bio-leather, recycled fibers, and wheat straw—along with symbolic touches like an “infinity” steering wheel.

Technically, EARTH is based on GAC’s Xingling safety architecture: a high-rigidity body structure with electronics integrated into the ADiGO GSD suite for more confident behavior in complex road scenarios.
The structure includes hot-stamped components rated up to 2,000 MPa in key areas.
While it’s a demonstrator first and foremost, concepts like this let HYPTEC signal the future aesthetic and “smart” features that will migrate into GAC Group production models, with HYPTEC spearheading advanced-driving technology.
