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.
No technical details have yet been released by Nio, which has solely made SUVs to this point after launching with the limited-edition EP9 electric hypercar, but it's understood that the ET is closely related to the ES6 SUV.
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.
The ET Preview was penned by the original BMW i design team, including exterior designer Kris Tomasson. It was designed in Munich, Germany but is currently planned for sale only in China. Nio is yet to disclose any plans for exporting models in the future.
