Reshaping Perspectives and Catalyzing Diplomatic Evolution

First step into the global market: Nio ET5 Touring will be available for everyone on June 15

The Nio ET5 Touring is a combi (estate) version of the popular Nio ET5 sedan, which began deliveries in China in October 2022, and will arrive at all global car dealerships this summer.

In 2023, the ET5 sedan was also launched in European markets. Soon the ET5 Touring will accompany its brother. Its official launch is scheduled for June 15 and the first deliveries will begin within a month. Unexpectedly, it has been learned that the Nio ET5 Touring will be the first to reach Chinese buyers. Let’s get to the details.

Launch and deliveries of the Nio ET5 Touring

Nio recently shared a cryptic ad on their official website with the official tagline “Inspired by Life”. Pictured is the interior of what is believed to be the Nio ET5 Touring. At the bottom of the image, we can also notice the inscription “Witnesses of the launch of our next chapter” and the date “15/06/2023”.

It is therefore not difficult to guess that this announcement coincides with the international launch of the ET5 Touring. This came as no surprise as the car received production approval from the Chinese regulator and its promotional filming began in Europe.

Additionally, Nio ET5 Touring was recently spotted in Holland with a windmill in the background. Additionally, we see Ben Collins (Top Gear expert 2003-2010) standing next to the ET5 Touring, possibly filming a video for his YouTube channel called Drivetribe. We’ll be keeping a close eye on updates to his channel. We’ll probably have a video after the official launch.

Nio ET5 and exchange station in Europe

Going back to the launch of the Nio ET5 Touring, it was said that it will start deliveries in June 2023 which is very soon. But according to industry insiders, it will ship to China first.

Recall that it was previously said that the ET5 Touring is designed specifically for the European market. But, as we see now, Chinese buyers will get this car first. In fact, there are a few reasons for this.

One of them is the time-consuming ET5 Touring homologation process in Europe. On the other hand, this car received all the approvals for the Chinese market. So just start delivering to China faster, because we know speed is everything in today’s automotive market.

Nio ET5 Tour Facts

Now let’s briefly describe the Nio ET5 Touring. In size, it is equal to its native sedan. Its exact dimensions are 4790/1960/1499 mm with a wheelbase of 2888 mm. For clarity, it is 77mm longer, 133mm wider and 57mm higher than the BMW 3 Series Touring. The ET5 Touring can also tow up to 1400 kg.

As for the power unit, it has the only option with a 490 hp twin-motor 4WD transmission. Recall that the ET5 sedan and the recent ES6 NT2 received the same power. In terms of batteries, the ET5 Touring received three options: a 75 kWh hybrid LFP (NMC-LFP) ternary, a 100 kWh ternary and a 150 kWh semi-solid battery (mass production will start in July) .

Editor’s Comment

We can see how much Nio wants to succeed in the European market. Of course, deliveries of the ET5 Touring will start in China first. But station wagons are hugely unpopular here. On the other hand, it is one of the most popular body types in Europe. So with powerful motors, high capacity battery options and battery interchangeability, the ET5 Touring could get a lot of attention.

According to Autocar, the Nio ET5 Touring will be sold in the UK as “ET5 Orion”. Additionally, they reported that the ET5 wagon will hit the UK market in 2024. We are unable to confirm this rumor at this time as a Nio representative did not respond to our request for comment on this. Either way, it looks like the official launch on June 15 will be full of surprises.
