en.Wedoany.com Reported - NIO officially released official images of its new flagship large SUV, the NIO ES9, on April 7th, with pre-sales scheduled to begin on April 9th. Positioned as the brand's technological flagship, the model is fully built on a 900V high-voltage architecture, integrating core technologies such as the Tianxing Fully Active Suspension, steer-by-wire system, and the self-developed Shenji chip.

Tianxing Fully Active Suspension and Self-developed Chip Technology Deployed

The NIO ES9 is the first to be equipped with the Tianxing Fully Active Suspension system, which can adjust the chassis height in real-time in conjunction with a visual perception system. In terms of hardware computing power, the new vehicle utilizes the self-developed Shenji NX9031 driving assistance chip, paired with NIO's World Model (NWM), significantly enhancing processing capabilities in complex scenarios. Its perception hardware specifications are on par with the ET9, including a roof-mounted LiDAR, 4D imaging radar, and side-facing LiDAR, forming the AQUILA Super Sensing System.

3250mm Wheelbase, Space Layout, and Executive Configurations

In terms of body dimensions, the NIO ES9 measures 5365mm in length, 2029mm in width, and 1870mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3250mm. The interior adopts a 2+2+2 six-seat layout. The second row is equipped with zero-gravity seats, supporting a large-angle recline, ventilation, heating, and massage functions. The executive cabin area continues the "Sky Island" design, featuring dual 14.5-inch interconnected screens and an 8-inch central control screen. Additionally, the entire vehicle utilizes flexible electrochromic technology, supporting zoned privacy adjustment for the windows.

900V High-Voltage Architecture, Powertrain, and Range Indicators

The powertrain consists of dual front and rear motors, with maximum power outputs of 180 kW and 340 kW respectively. The new vehicle is equipped with a 102 kWh power battery pack. Depending on the kerb weight, the CLTC pure electric driving range is 580 km, 600 km, and 620 km respectively. Based on the full-domain 900V high-voltage architecture, the vehicle offers faster charging efficiency and higher energy utilization, with a kerb weight ranging from 2845 kg to 2915 kg.

Supply Chain Upgrade Driven by Tianxing Fully Active Suspension

With pre-sales opening on April 9th, NIO is coordinating with its Hefei Xinqiao factory to enter a production ramp-up phase. By extensively applying self-developed chips and fully active suspension technology, NIO has further strengthened its autonomous control over core components. The launch of this model not only completes the brand's high-end product matrix from sedans to large SUVs but also marks the comprehensive evolution of NIO's second-generation technology platform towards full-domain high-voltage and steer-by-wire chassis.
