However, these action rays calculated from the CLTC standard (China Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle), which differs from that used in Europe (WLTP) and in the United States (EPA) should however be tempered (EPA). Difficult, in this case, to really compare the litters communicated by the manufacturers.

Learn more about the Nio et5

China is one of the largest markets in the world in electric cars. Tesla understood this well and did not hesitate to build a gigafactory in Shanghai to meet the country’s demand. Obviously, the American manufacturer was not going to go on a horseman alone: ​​competition even quickly organized.

Among his rivals, a certain Nio, who made himself known for his battery exchange stations. The manufacturer already has 500 in China, for a fleet of 150,000 trendy vehicles. Its catalog is notably composed of the large ET7 sedan and the EC6 electric SUV, to name a few.

Swift

And at the end of 2021, its offer is strengthened with the arrival of another sedan slightly smaller than ET7: I named ET5. This vehicle was presented as part of the Nio Day, in Suzhou, Empire in the middle, and directly competes with Tesla star, the Model 3.

First automobile of the brand to rely on the new NIO 2 platform.0, the NIO ET5 claims a length of 4.79 meters, a width of 1.96 meters, a height of 1.50 meters and a wheelbase of 2.89 meters. For comparison, Model 3 measures 4694 mm (L), 1849 mm (L), 1443 mm (H) and 2,875 mm (wheelbase).

The Niot et5 is therefore slightly larger, wider and higher. The comparison game necessarily continues on performance and autonomy. The Chinese sedan claims a power of 480 hp for a torque of 700 Nm, propelling it from 0 to 100 km/h in the space of 4.3 seconds.

Between 550 and 1000 km of autonomy

Opposite, the American does better in its only performance version: 3.3 seconds, against 4.4 and 6.1 seconds for the great autonomy and the standard, respectively. The drag coefficient is however to the advantage of Model 3, 0.23 against 0.24. The gap is nonetheless minimal.

Nio has three levels of autonomy according to the installed battery:

• 75 kWh battery: 550 kilometers;
• 100 kWh battery: 700 kilometers;
• 150 kWh battery: 1000 kilometers.

However, these action rays calculated from the CLTC standard (China Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle), which differs from that used in Europe (WLTP) and in the United States (EPA) should however be tempered (EPA). Difficult, in this case, to really compare the litters communicated by the manufacturers.

At the price level, the NIO ET5 starts from 328,000 RMB, or around 45,700 euros, also buying the battery. For the Baas declination (Battery-as-a-Service), which also requires a subscription to take advantage of the exchange stations, the price drops to 258,000 RMB, or around 35,900 euros.

Deliveries will start in China in September 2022.

Nio is a Chinese brand that specializes in competitors of Model 3 and Model S. The Nio et5 is the latest “Tesla killer” dated, and has a few assets for her.

This is the second sedan of the Chinese brand, which also designed three SUVs. Nio et5 does not deny parentage with ET7 but is more affordable, like a model 3.

Design and interior of the nio et5

The design of the Nio et5 is not the most surprising, with an aspect of a cut sedan which is reminiscent of the et7 and the model 3. The gaze is the same as his big sister, and we find the light bar at the back, signature of the manufacturer.

The interior is intended to be purified and looks like in all respects to the interior of ET7. There is a large central screen in vertical format, and a small instrumentation screen behind the steering wheel, facing the driver. Again, one can only think of the way in which the interior of the Tesla is arranged, with the exception of the instrumentation.

At the level of the template, the Nio et5 wants to be slightly larger than a Model 3, with 10 centimeters higher and 11 in width. It is however lower by 5 cm and its wheelbase concedes 1 cm American.

NIO and 5 motorization and performance

Nio’s electric sedan has two engines, one at the front and one at the back. The set displays a power of 360 kW, or 480 horsepower, for a torque of 700 Nm. It is less than the nio et7, which wants to be more efficient.

Like the large nio, ET5 offers a permanent magnet engine at the front, and an induction engine at the rear. The 0 to 100 km/h is done in 5.9 seconds in sport mode, and in 4.3 seconds in sport mode+.

Batteries and autonomy of the nio electric sedan

Nio has decided to expand its technological range as much as possible – and prices – and thus offers three different battery capacities. The 70 kWh battery will offer 500 km in NEDC cycle, still in force in China.

The 100 kWh battery will offer up to 700 km in one load, still according to the same cycle. Finally, the 150 kWh pack will reach the 1,000 km of autonomy in a single load. It is necessary to remove around 20 % to find the autonomy figures in WLTP cycle.

Price and marketing of NIO and5

Nio’s electric sedan will arrive in September 2022, first for the Chinese market. The end of 2022, even the year 2023, will surely be the time indicated for its arrival in Europe. Nio plans to reach Europe by Norway, then by Germany.

ET5 prices are very attractive in China, with a basic price equivalent to 36,000 euros. This includes the battery exchange system. The full price of the car in full purchase is 45,800 euros, without bonus. European and 5 European prices will certainly be different.
