Today, the third model EC6 of the NIO brand has been officially produced. According to the plan announced by NIO at the 2019 NIO Day, the configuration and price of EC6 will be officially announced this year in July, and delivery will begin in September.
The NIO EC6 continues NIO’s family design language, with a similar size to the ES6, a streamlined design for the rear of the car, and a vehicle drag coefficient of 0.27 Cd.
The performance version is equipped with a front 160 kW permanent magnet synchronous motor and a rear 240 kW AC asynchronous motor, with a high output power of 400 kW and acceleration of 4.7 seconds per 100 km. The sport version is equipped with a 160 kW permanent magnet synchronous motor both front and rear, with a maximum output power of 320 kW and acceleration of 5.6 seconds per 100 km.
The EC6 is compatible with NIO’s battery swapping technology, and the battery options include 70 kWh, 84 kWh, and 100 kWh. Equipped with a 100 kWh battery, the NEDC range can reach 615 km.
At the press conference, NIO founder Li Bin did not disclose the official price of the EC6, hoping to wait until the Model Y’s price is announced before making an announcement to maintain market flexibility.
As of now, the Tesla Model Y is priced at 488,800 yuan to 535,000 yuan. Based on our inference, the current price of the Model Y is not the final price, and the actual delivery price after being domestically produced at the Tesla Shanghai super factory is roughly around 400,000 yuan.
So how will the NIO EC6 be priced?
