NIO ES9 Spotted in MIIT Announcement

[New Vehicle Launch] NIO's all-new flagship SUV, the ES9, has appeared in the MIIT application catalog, featuring comprehensive upgrades in size and specifications.

Core Development: The Largest NIO Vehicle Ever Unveiled

The NIO ES9 measures 5,365 mm in length with a wheelbase of 3,250 mm, surpassing both the ES8 and Li Auto L9. It offers 6- or 7-seat configurations, dual-layer lighting clusters, a two-tone body design, and wheel options ranging from 21 to 23 inches.

Key Specifications: Breakthroughs in Performance and Intelligence

It is equipped with dual motors (front: 180 kW, rear: 340 kW) and a 102 kWh ternary lithium battery pack. Standard features include three LiDAR units, enabling support for NAD advanced driver assistance and a full-domain operating system.

Strategic Foundation: Technology Trickle-Down + Battery Swap Moat

The ES9 inherits the ET9’s Tianxing chassis, featuring steer-by-wire, rear-wheel steering, and a fully active suspension system. It continues NIO’s battery-as-a-service (BaaS) sales model, potentially further lowering the vehicle purchase barrier.
