On November 3rd, NIO officially released their new NIO V Pro. The official guidance price after subsidy is 76,900 yuan for the Long-Range Fun and 80,900 yuan for the Long-Range Premium.
In terms of vehicle parameters, the NIO V Pro is no different from the previous NIO V, with dimensions of 4,070 * 1,690 * 1,540 mm and a wheelbase of 2,420 mm. However, it has upgraded to 16-inch aluminum alloy wheels, which are slightly larger than the 15-inch wheels of the standard V version.
In terms of power, the NIO V Pro has upgraded to a high-power motor of 70 kW from the previous NIO V’s maximum of 55 kW. It can accelerate from 0 to 50 km/h in 3.9 seconds and is expected to reach a maximum speed of over 120 km/h.
The biggest change in the NIO V Pro version is actually in the software and hardware of the ADAS, NIO claims that it is the best L2 level ADAS system in its class. It can achieve full-speed ACC adaptive cruise control, LKA lane keeping system, and one-button remote parking system, etc. Although the functionality seems comprehensive, the specific hardware parameters were not announced at the press conference, and we can wait for the release of specific ADAS parameters from NIO in the future.
Inside the car, there is a 14.6-inch central control screen and a unique 360 safety protection system. NIO’s CEO William Li also mentioned that NIO V Pro is the world’s first smart car equipped with a car safety guardian.
Finally, on services and privileges,
- 2,000 kWh of free charging limit per year within 2 years;
- Free customer charging within 2 years;
- Free lifetime warranty for batteries, road rescue and car networking traffic.
Regarding solving the issue of user charging services, NIO claimed that they have already implemented hundreds of thousands of charging stations across hundreds of cities, which will help users alleviate their anxieties about charging.According to the delivery information of NETA 10, a total of 8,107 vehicles were delivered last month. From the data alone, NETA has indeed entered the forefront of the delivery list. From the annual delivery chart of NETA, significant progress has also been made. However, from the internal sales data of NETA, the majority of October’s delivery, NETA V, had relatively little impact on supply compared to other manufacturers due to not adopting millimeter-wave radar. However, after this press conference, the NETA V Pro is expected to adopt millimeter-wave radar to realize these ADAS driver assistance functions, and this vehicle may be affected by the general shortage of chips in the market after its launch. However, the specific follow-up sales situation is still unknown. We’ll have to wait for the formal launch and delivery of NETA V Pro to give us an answer.
