The all-new NIO ET7 entered the Chinese market on March 28 (163 units were delivered to customers during the last few days of the month). This new model is expected to enter also the European market (selected countries) before the end of this year.
The next big thing for NIO will be an all-new model - the NIO ES7 - a mid-to-large five-seater SUV. In the pipeline is also the NIO ET5.
The other three models - ES8, ES6 and EC6 will be upgraded in May with new tech (mainly infotainment), with an interesting option of an upgrade also for existing cars. That's definitely good news for early adopters, as well as for the environment.
"In late May 2022, the Company plans to unveil the 2022 NIO ES8, ES6 and EC6 with the latest digital cockpit hardware, and to launch the digital cockpit upgrade plan for existing users.
In the meantime, NIO ES7, the Company’s new mid-to-large five-seater SUV equipped with NIO Technology 2.0 (NT2), will also make its debut."
