A Chinese electric car manufacturer has recently launched its latest model, the Nio ET9, a spacious sedan.
The Nio ET9 is built on the SkyRide Intelligent Chassis System platform, which combines three key elements: Steer-by-wire electronic steering system, Rear Wheel Steering technology, and the world’s first Fully Active Suspension system.
The manufacturer claims that the ET9 offers exceptional comfort thanks to its advanced suspension system. Each shock absorber on the ET9 is independently controlled by its own hydraulic pump and components, allowing for a vertical mobility range of up to 50mm.
To demonstrate the system’s performance, Nio conducted a test by placing a glass of water on the car’s hood and driving over speed bumps. The water remained intact inside the glass, highlighting the ET9’s outstanding stability.
In addition, Nio allowed four customers to experience the luxurious cabin of the ET9. The cabin is equipped with modern features, including a 2m long central control panel, a 15.6-inch central touchscreen, a rectangular-shaped steering wheel, a sunroof, and a heads-up display.
The ET9 also introduces a personal virtual assistant named NOMI and utilizes a 5nm system chip for enhanced processing capabilities, making it the first car in the world to adopt this technology.
The second-row seats are designed in the style of a business class airplane cabin, offering backrests that can tilt up to 45 degrees, extra thick cushions, and 11 adjustable positions controlled by a single button.
Between the rear seats, there is an 8-inch screen and an electronically operated smart refrigerator. Passengers can also enjoy browsing the web, watching movies, and using entertainment applications on the 14.5-inch AMOLED screen embedded in the front seat backs.
The Nio ET9 is equipped with three Lidar sensors, positioned in the center of the car and attached to the front edges of the roof. Additionally, the car features digital rearview mirrors.
The ET9 is powered by two electric motors: a front motor generating 241 horsepower and a rear motor producing 456 horsepower. Together, they deliver a total power output of 697 horsepower.
The ET9 utilizes Nio’s third-generation platform, which operates at voltages up to 925V and can be rapidly charged with a maximum power of 600kW and a maximum current of 765A.
Equipped with a 120kWh battery pack consisting of 46,105 cells, the ET9 can travel an additional 255km after just 5 minutes of charging. Similar to other Nio models, the ET9 supports battery swapping in a mere 3 minutes.
In China, the starting price of the ET9 is set at 800,000 NDT (approximately 2.7 billion VND). The first deliveries to customers are expected to take place in early 2025.
