Nio’s next flagship electric SUV, the ES9, has appeared in China’s regulatory filings. The listing confirms battery, range, size, and power figures, giving a clear look at Nio’s most ambitious SUV to date.
Nio ES9 Battery and Range Details
The filing shows the ES9 using a 102kWh battery pack.
CLTC-rated pure electric range options include:
• 580 km
• 600 km
• 620 km
These figures place the ES9 among long-range luxury electric SUVs in China.
Dimensions and Segment Positioning
The Nio ES9 measures:
• Length: 5365 mm
• Width: 2029 mm
• Height: 1870 mm
• Wheelbase: 3250 mm
This makes it China’s largest electric SUV. It exceeds the Rolls-Royce Cullinan in overall size, underlining its full-size luxury positioning.
Design and Hardware Highlights
The ES9 adopts Nio’s latest design language. Key exterior and hardware features include:
• Sharknose-style front fascia
• Full-width rear light bar
• Two-tone body color options
• Wheel sizes up to 23 inches
• Three LiDAR sensors
• AQUILA sensing system
• Adaptive air suspension with automatic height adjustment
These features place a strong focus on assisted driving and ride comfort.
Powertrain and Performance

• Rear motor: 340 kW, 456 hp
• Combined output: 520 kW, 697 hp

Why the ES9 Matters for Nio
Nio reached profitability in Q4 last year, driven largely by ES8 sales. The ES8 held the title of China’s largest electric SUV at the time. The ES9 moves the brand further upmarket, with larger size and higher output. Nio’s current sales mix depends heavily on the ES8, so the ES9 plays a key role in expanding high-margin luxury offerings.
Nio 2026 Product Roadmap
Alongside the ES9, Nio plans to launch the new Onvo L80 in 2026. Other 2026 updates include:
• Refreshed Nio ES7
• Onvo L90 with LiDAR hardware
• High-power Firefly variant
