In China, every car must be approved by the local regulator before hitting the market, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) publishes the list of vehicles that undergo the monthly homologation process. Automakers are not happy about this because it reveals production version images and specs of cars they haven’t officially launched, but we don’t mind.

Nio’s most expensive car was unveiled last December, and presales were started for 800,000 yuan (112,000 USD). Deliveries are supposed to start in the first quarter of 2025.

The homologation fillings confirmed that the ET9 will be manufactured in Nio’s Hefei plant in NeoPark, sometimes called F2.

The four-seater dimensions are 5325/2017/1621 mm (length/weight/height), and the wheelbase is 3250 mm. The curb weight is 2,700 kg. The wheel’s specifications are HL255/45R22 and HL265/40R23.

The EV is powered by dual motors, with the front providing 180 kW and the rear 340 kW. The combined output is 520 kW (697 hp), and the top speed is 220 km/h. Nio Power Technology in Hefei developed both motors in-house; the front is YS198S002, and the rear is TZ198Y001 version.

ET9, like all Nio cars, supports battery swap, and the pack is provided by CATL. The battery capacity wasn’t yet revealed. During the unveiling ceremony a year ago, Nio teased the battery pack will have a capacity of 120 kWh and an energy density of 292 Wh/kg. Moreover it will be also possible to swap a semi-solid state battery pack with 150 kWh capacity as all Nio battery packs have standardized dimensions.

Nio ET9 will aim to compete with Mercedes-Maybach in China.
