[New Vehicle Launch] NIO officially opens pre-sales for the ES9, offering two purchase options: buying the vehicle outright or leasing the battery.
Key Highlights: Flagship Executive-Class Six-Seater Starting at RMB 420,000
The NIO ES9 is available in three variants: Executive Luxury, Executive Signature, and Horizon Special Edition. The full-vehicle pre-sale price ranges from RMB 528,000 to RMB 658,000, while opting for the battery-as-a-service (BaaS) plan lowers the entry price to RMB 420,000. The vehicle will officially launch in late May, with the center-console seating version delivered simultaneously and the aisle version arriving by late July.
Key Specifications: 0–100 km/h in 4.3 Seconds + Over 5.3 Meters in Length
All variants feature a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds and delivering a peak torque of 700 N·m. The vehicle exceeds 5.3 meters in length and adopts a spacious 2+2+2 six-seat layout, standard with Nappa leather upholstery and 23-inch wheels, targeting premium family and business users.
Strategic Foundation: Strengthening Position in the Premium BEV SUV Segment

Existing owners are also eligible for up to RMB 10,000 in upgrade credits and loyalty points incentives.
