NIO ET9 First Drive – China’s Ultimate Luxury EV Has Arrived

Video Description

I've had the privilege of testing a lot of advanced electric vehicles in China, but some of them get the short end of the stick from me. China car coverage can be overwhelming. There are just so many moving parts and new ideas that it is very hard for one person to give airtime to them all. Even when I went with Editor-in-Chief Patrick George, the two of us had a hell of a time writing about all of the stuff we experienced at the car-packed Shanghai Auto Show. And when I get back stateside, life, and other assignments, tend to get in the way. One of the biggest examples of “Jesus, please take this burden off my shoulders” would be the Nio ET7. While in China last November to try the BMW X3-fighting Nio ES6 and the Corolla-priced-but-Tesla-beating Onvo L60, I also got seat time with the ET7, a kind of Mercedes E-Class rival. And I never wrote about it. (Sorry.) It’s not that the car was bad; au contraire, it’s nice. But I was overwhelmed with other, arguably more important cars. The ES6 and L60 are two compact to medium-sized crossovers with swappable batteries that collectively aim to dethrone the Tesla Model Y globally. Meanwhile, the medium-sized luxury sedan segment is becoming kind of irrelevant. Just look at Tesla Model S sales these days. But then Nio came out with the ET9, a luxury flagship sedan that slots above the ET7 and aims at the likes of the S-Class. Now we're talking. Like the S-Class, it's a technological powerhouse, packed with features that promise to revolutionize the future of luxury electric transportation. There's nothing "meanwhile" about this thing; it's as impressive a car as you'll find on any continent. We Drove The Nio ET9.
