It features a 90.0 kWh usable battery, delivering a real-world range of 500 km, with an average efficiency of 180 Wh/km. With an acceleration of 0–100 km/h in 4.0 seconds and 360 kW (489 PS) of AWD power, it targets the premium performance EV segment.
Charging capabilities include 11 kW AC (full charge in 9h45m) and 127 kW max DC fast charging, which adds 10–80% in 40 minutes. Its 1-Stop Range with a 15-minute charging break reaches up to 494 km, earning a 3/5 long-distance suitability rating.
Built on the NIO NT2 EV platform, it includes a heat pump as standard, and supports Autocharge via CCS, though it lacks Plug & Charge or bidirectional V2X features.
