The Nio ES9 is a full-size electric SUV positioned as the brand’s flagship model. It sits above the ES8 and targets the premium three-row SUV segment with a large body, upright stance, and a focus on space and comfort.

The ES9 is expected to use Nio’s high-capacity battery options, including packs above 100 kWh. Estimated driving range targets the 650 to 700 km mark on the CLTC cycle. It supports fast DC charging and Nio’s battery swap system, allowing a depleted battery to be replaced in minutes at compatible stations.

Pricing places the ES9 at the top of Nio’s lineup, above the ES8, in the premium electric SUV bracket. It suits buyers who need a large family SUV with long-distance ability and access to battery swapping. Alternatives include the Li Auto L9 and the Aito M9. A direct comparison sits against the Tesla Model X in size, price, and performance focus.
