On April 15th, NIO unveiled the official images of the 2024 ET7. It's reported that the car will debut at the Beijing Auto Show on April 25th and begin pre-sales.
Positioned as a mid-to-large executive sedan, the exterior changes are minimal, still featuring the brand's familiar design language with a closed front end and segmented lighting units. The front bumper integrates both near and far light modules, with a trapezoidal cooling opening below, showcasing a clean and minimalist yet luxurious appearance.
Its dimensions are 510119871509mm, with a wheelbase of 3060mm. Its side profile is sleek, with a continuous waistline running from front to back. It features concealed door handles and intricate spoke wheels, exuding a luxurious feel.
The rear of the car features integrated tail lights, along with a small ducktail spoiler on the trunk lid, while the rear bumper adopts a contrasting color scheme, enhancing the depth of the rear end.
The interior of the new car has undergone significant upgrades, with a generous investment in materials, maintaining NIO's consistent high standards. It features a fully digital instrument panel, a multifunctional steering wheel with dual spokes, and a large vertically oriented multimedia touchscreen positioned in the center console.
The rear seats have been upgraded with dual entertainment screens, adjustable angles, and optimized comfort to align with its executive sedan status.
In terms of power, it is expected to remain consistent with the current model, equipped with front and rear dual motors capable of delivering 653 horsepower and peak torque of 850 Newton meters. It will offer battery options of 75 kWh and 100 kWh, corresponding to ranges of 530 kilometers and 675 kilometers, respectively.
There is also potential for a 150 kWh battery version, boasting a range exceeding 1000 kilometers. However, due to its high price, it is likely to only be available through a leasing model.
Upon its release, the new car will compete with traditional luxury sedans such as the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 5 Series, and Audi A6L. With top-notch design, materials, and a versatile energy replenishment system, the new ET7 will have the potential to be a strong contender.
