The exterior of the AION RT introduces a new design concept centered on "Human-Machine Symbiosis Aesthetics." The car features smooth, rounded lines that create a visually pleasing silhouette. Its polygonal front headlights, accented with sleek, upward-pointing light strips, stand out with their smoked finish, resembling lively eyes. Black aerodynamic elements on either side of the sealed front grille enhance both the vehicle’s sporty appeal and its aerodynamic efficiency.

The side profile of the AION RT is dynamic, with two prominent lines running from front to back, giving the car a more sculpted look. The wheels feature a trendy “Starlock” design, adding a touch of modernity and sportiness. The car also adopts hidden door handles, contributing to a luxurious and tech-savvy appearance.

At the rear, the AION RT sports a subtle "swallowtail" design, with an upturned rear spoiler and an inward-tapering lower bumper. This is complemented by split tail lamps and the prominently displayed AION logo, enhancing the vehicle's recognition on the road.
