Recently, Weilai co-founder Qin Lihong replied to a netizen who asked about the release of the new car in the Weilai App, and its NIO ES7 is scheduled to be officially released at the end of May. The new car is based on the NT2.0 platform and is positioned as a medium- and large-sized five-seat pure electric SUV. According to Qin Lihong, the WEIO ES7 car will be benchmarked with the BMW X5 long wheelbase version.
NIO ES7 is the first SUV model created by NIO's second-generation technology platform NT2.0, its product positioning is between ES8 and ES6, and the level of intelligence is consistent with ET5 and ET7, which is a medium and large five-seat pure electric SUV. The starting price of the vehicle may be more than 400,000, according to Qin Lihong, "our delivery target this year is decided by the supply chain, and this year's production capacity will be improved, and how much can be produced will be delivered."
Judging from the exposed spy photos, the new car will use the latest family-style X-bar design language, and the front face is more similar to the ET7 model. The slender daytime running lights and the longitudinal arrangement of the longitudinal beam light group at the bottom are full of visual impact and are also very recognizable.
The charging port position of the new car is adjusted to the left side of the body, with a lidar and two high cameras above the front windshield, which is consistent with the ET7 and ET5 models. On the side of the body, the new car adopts a suspended roof shape, combined with a large inclination D-pillar and a slipback tailgate and an upward spoiler, as well as a five-spoke blackened rim and a newly designed taillight group, which reflects a full sense of sport.
In terms of body size, the NIO ES7 is between ES6 and ES8, and the specific body size has not yet been announced, but according to Weilai President Qin Lihong, THE NIO ES7 will be benchmarked with the BMW X5 long wheelbase version in the future. In addition, the new car will be equipped with the same roof intelligent components as et7 and ET5, including lidar and high-level cameras to provide hardware support for the new generation of intelligent driver assistance systems.
In terms of power, it is expected that the power parameters of the new car will be consistent with the ET7 model. For reference, the ET7 model is equipped with dual front and rear motors, with a maximum power of 480 kW and a maximum torque of 850 N·m.
