NIO has launched a smart electric mid-large SUV
The NIO ES7 is the first SUV application of the ‘Design for AD’ ethos and includes smart hardware, algorithms and applications including an AR/VR compatible digital cockpit.
The ‘NIO Digital System for Evolving Smart Technology’ made its debut alongside the launch of this vehicle. It includes smart hardware, computing platform, operating system, smart algorithms, and smart applications. Named after a family of trees, NIO Digital System embodies continuous development into a cohesive eco-system with sustainability in mind. Banyan is the smart operating system on the NT2 platform. NIO Aquila Super Sensing and NIO Adam Super Computing represent the smart hardware and the computing platform. In addition, NIO ES7 comes with the latest NIO Autonomous Driving (NAD). It will gradually achieve a safe, reassuring, point-to-point autonomous driving experience in scenarios such as highways, urban areas, parking, and battery swapping.
NIO ES7 comes standard with PanoCinema, the AR/VR compatible digital cockpit system. NIO and NREAL, an AR device company, developed custom AR glasses that can project an effective 201-inch screen at six metres. Coupled with the 256-colour digital waterfall ambient lighting and the 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos surround sound system, PanoCinema will bring you an immersive visual and audio experience in the exclusive space of the ES7.
NIO ES7 inherits the second generation high-efficiency e-drive platform with the SiC power module. 0 to 100km/h acceleration is within 3.9 seconds. Brembo 4-piston front callipers are standard.100 to 0km/h braking is within 33.9 metres. Air suspension is also standard across the range. The drag coefficient of ES7 can be as low as 0.263. ES7's CLTC range reaches 485km with the 75kWh Standard Range Battery, 620km with the 100kWh Long Range Battery, and over 850km with the 150kWh Ultralong Range Battery. The combination of Power Home, Power Charger, and a nationwide network of close to 1000 Power Swap stations will eliminate range anxiety for ES7 users.
ES7 is one of the first certified passenger vehicles in China to be able to tow a caravan or a trailer. The optional electric tow bar has a maximum towing capacity of 2,000kg. In addition, ES7 can supply power to towed equipment. In outdoor scenarios, it can support the Camping Mode and V2L discharging.
With a 75kWh battery, the ES7 starts from RMB 468,000 before subsidies. With a 100kWh battery, the price is RMB 526,000 before subsidies. For the ES7 Premier Edition, the price is RMB 528,000 before subsidies. With BaaS, the pre-subsidy price starts from RMB 398,000.
