These mud flaps are designed for the GAC Toyota iA5, an electric sedan produced from 2019 to 2021 exclusively for the Chinese market. The iA5 is a joint-venture rebadge of the broader GAC Aion S (2019-present), sharing identical wheel arch geometry and underbody mounting points with its sibling models on the GAC GEP 2.0 electric architecture.
Model Lineage: The Aion S Family
Model | Manufacturer | Sales Channel | Production | Relationship to iA5 |
GAC Aion S | GAC New Energy (Aion brand) | Aion dealerships, China + export | 2019-present | Base platform donor; identical wheel arch and underbody geometry |
Toyota iA5 / Leahead iA5 | GAC Toyota JV | GAC-Toyota / Leahead network, China only | 2019-2021 | This SKU's target vehicle; Aion S with restyled front and rear fascias |
Honda Everus EA6 | GAC Honda JV | Everus network, China only | 2021-present | Sister rebadge under GAC-Honda JV; same platform, different front styling |
The iA5 was developed under China's dual-credit policy, where foreign joint ventures rebadge domestic EV platforms to meet new-energy vehicle production quotas. Despite different front and rear bumper designs, all three models share identical wheel arch cutouts and under-chassis mounting provisions, making this mud flap set physically compatible across the Aion S platform family.
Production Context
2019: iA5 unveiled at Chengdu Motor Show (September); deliveries began March 2020. Three trims priced 169,800-192,800 RMB
2020: First full year of production; 510 km NEDC range with 58.8 kWh CATL lithium-ion battery
2021: Facelift "New iA5" launched with revised front fascia and additional range variants (460/510/580 km). This SKU covers the original 2019-2021 pre-facelift body
Market status: Replaced by the updated New iA5 in late 2021; original iA5 no longer in production
Export Relevance
The Toyota iA5 and GAC Aion S are actively exported from China to Southeast Asian markets including Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines, as well as to the Middle East through grey-import and official dealer channels. The Aion S (base car) was CKD-assembled in Thailand from 2023, expanding the aftermarket parts opportunity. Mud flaps for the iA5 also fit the Aion S, broadening wholesale appeal beyond the shorter iA5 production window.

Installation Guidelines: Toyota iA5 Mud Flaps
Factory-Positioned Installation
The Toyota iA5 mud flap set uses fastener-ready design, aligning with the vehicle's factory pre-drilled holes in the wheel arch liner. No modification to the vehicle is required. The installation process is straightforward for workshop or end-user fitting.
Installation Procedure
Position alignment: Hold the mud flap against the wheel arch to verify contour match with the bumper lower trim and fender edge
Plastic fender clips: Insert plastic fender fastener clips through the mud flap into the factory mounting holes on the wheel arch liner
U-clip screws: Attach U-clip screws along the bumper lower trim edge for additional rigidity
Allen screws: Fasten Allen screws with the included hex key at secondary reinforcement points
Final check: Verify all 4 mud flaps are securely mounted and sit flush against the body. Check clearance with the tyre at full steering lock
Tools required: Hex key (included), flat-head screwdriver for clip removal (if replacing existing flaps). Approximate installation time: 15-20 minutes for all 4 pieces.
OEM-Style Compatibility Note
The Toyota iA5 (GAC Toyota JV) does not offer genuine Toyota-branded mud flaps as a factory accessory, as the vehicle was developed by GAC rather than Toyota Motor Corporation. Aftermarket mud flaps from AutoBridge are designed to OEM-equivalent fit standards, matching the wheel arch contour and mounting point layout of the iA5/Aion S platform. Buyers seeking OEM-spec appearance should select the black PP material option, which matches the factory lower body trim finish.
