Electric-vehicle maker Nio has revealed its new flagship full‑size SUV, the ES9, signaling a push into the high end of the segment.
The ES9 is positioned as Nio’s flagship, bringing together the company’s latest vehicle platform, autonomous driving hardware and premium interior appointments.
5.3 m Extra‑Large Body…
China’s Largest Electric SUV

The ES9 measures 5,365 mm (about 17 ft 7 in) overall and rides on a 3,250 mm (about 10 ft 8 in) wheelbase.
That puts it among the largest electric SUVs currently on sale.
The ES9 integrates lidar across the body. Its autonomy package pairs roof‑ and fender‑mounted lidar with cameras and radar to create a multi‑sensor system.
Nio says the ES9 runs on its in‑house compute chip and software based on a ‘World Model (NWM),’ enabling advanced driver‑assistance features.

The cabin is styled as a luxury lounge.
Layout is a 2+2+2 six‑seat arrangement, with true zero‑gravity seats in the second row.
Those seats offer recline, massage, ventilation and heating — amenities aimed at executive‑level comfort.
Nio also fits a 15.6‑inch AMOLED display up front, a large dedicated rear‑seat screen and even an onboard refrigerator to enhance the premium experience.
900V Platform and Dual Motors…
Power and Efficiency in Balance

The ES9 is built on a 900V high‑voltage architecture.
A dual‑motor setup—180 kW up front (about 241 hp) and 340 kW at the rear (about 456 hp)—delivers brisk performance.
The battery pack has a 102 kWh capacity and is rated for up to 620 km (roughly 385 miles) on the CLTC cycle.
Nio also equips the ES9 with SkyRide active suspension and steer‑by‑wire, aiming to improve both handling stability and ride comfort.
Industry observers say the ES9 could raise the technological bar in the large electric SUV market.
If Nio offers the ES9 in South Korea, analysts say it would become a formidable rival to Genesis’ planned GV90.
