Nio brand will release China's largest electric crossover

Nio will present the EC9, the largest electric crossover in Chinese history (over 5.3 m in length). The model on the NT 3.0 platform will receive up to 750 hp, a power reserve of up to 850 km, a battery change system in 3 minutes, a luxurious interior with massage chairs.

Chinese premium brand Nio, known for its innovative electric vehicles and battery swapping system, is ready to introduce a new flagship model - Nio EC9. It will be the largest electric crossover ever created in China: its length will exceed 5.3 meters and the wheelbase will be 3,150 mm, which makes it a competitor to such giants as the Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV and Cadillac Escalade IQ.

EC9 is built on the modular NT 3.0 platform, designed specifically for large EVs. Under the hood are two electric motors with a total power of 650–750 hp, providing acceleration to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds. A battery with a capacity of up to 150 kWh (based on Nio 900V technology) provides a range of up to 850 km on the CLTC cycle. At the same time, the car retains the ability to quickly replace the battery in 3 minutes - a key feature of the Nio ecosystem.

But the main thing is in the cabin. The EC9 is billed as a "mobile luxury cabin" with premium leather, hand-polished wood, zero-gravity massage seats, separate screens for each second-row passenger, and even a mini-fridge. The centerpiece is a 23-inch OLED display integrated into the dashboard, and a 30-speaker audio system creates a concert hall effect.

Nio Adam 2.0 autopilot based on LiDAR, radar and cameras provides L3+ autonomous driving, including complex maneuvers in the city and automatic parking in multi-level garages.

The Nio EC9 will premiere at the end of 2025, and sales in China will begin in the first quarter of 2026. The expected price is from 700,000 yuan (~8.4 million rubles). Exports to Europe and the Middle East are planned for 2026; So far there is no official information about entering the Russian market.

Thus, Nio is not just expanding its lineup - it is redefining the boundaries of Chinese premiumness. EC9 is a statement: China is no longer copying Western luxury. He creates his own - technologically advanced, large-scale and self-sufficient.
