NIO priced the three-row electric SUV RMB 30,000 below pre-sale levels and says deliveries begin May 28.
- On Thursday, NIO CEO William Li Bin officially launched the ES9 flagship SUV in China, with prices starting at 498,000 yuan, marketed as the country's largest battery electric SUV.
- Li positioned the ES9 as a 'halo vehicle' to compete in the high-margin executive segment, with aggressive pricing aimed at driving volume in China's fiercely competitive market.
- The ES9 features a 620 km range and signature 3-minute battery swap; measuring 5,365 mm long, it targets chauffeur-driven executives with a 48-inch display and magnetic tea tray.
- Shares of NIO surged 9.32% Wednesday following the launch, as the price undercut pre-sale figures by 30,000 yuan, a move analysts at Morgan Stanley expect will serve as a meaningful catalyst.
