Nio has revealed a new concept car that previews its first saloon model at the Shanghai motor show.
The ET Preview is said by insiders at the Chinese firm to be around 80% representative of an electric large saloon that’s due in production before 2021.
It acted as a demonstration of Nio's high-density nickel-cobalt-manganese battery pack and 220kW electric motor powertrain, which the company claims will deliver a cruising range of up to 317 miles under China's NEDC-based tests.
The ET will use high-efficiency permanent magnet motors to drive its front wheels, in conjunction with high-performance induction motors at the rear. It is understood to be closely related to the ES6 SUV.
Nio has solely made SUVs to this point, after launching with the limited-edition EP9 electric hypercar.
The ES6 will enter production this June, joining the Audi Q7-sized ES8 in Nio’s range. It gets an NEDC range of 317 miles from its 84kWh battery pack.
