Nio Inc’s founder, chairman, and CEO, William Li, recently shed light on the company’s product roadmap for the year, providing a glimpse into what’s to come. According to Li, the third-generation Nio ES8 is set to be unveiled in the fourth quarter, alongside the launch of Onvo’s third model, the L80. Both models are expected to make a significant impact in the market.
The Nio ES8 serves as the brand’s flagship SUV, with the first generation hitting the market in December 2017 at Nio Day 2017. Since then, the ES8 has undergone significant upgrades, with the second generation being launched at Nio Day 2022 on the NT 2.0 platform. Now, the anticipation for the third-generation ES8 is building as Nio continues to push the boundaries of innovation in the electric vehicle space.
Onvo, a subsidiary of Nio, is also gearing up for the release of its third model, the L80. Following the success of the L60, which was launched in 2024, the L80 is expected to further solidify Onvo’s presence in the market. With a focus on SUVs, Onvo aims to cater to a wide range of customers with its lineup of family-friendly vehicles.
In addition to the ES8 and L80, Nio has ambitious plans for the year ahead. With a total of nine models slated for release in 2025, including the flagship sedan ET9 and the recently launched Firefly, Nio is set to make a significant impact on the electric vehicle market. The company also plans to introduce facelifts for existing models such as the ET5, ET5 Touring, ES6, and EC6, showcasing its commitment to continuous improvement and innovation.
Overall, Nio’s product roadmap for 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting one, with a focus on expanding its lineup of electric vehicles and pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the industry. As the company continues to grow and evolve, consumers can expect to see even more groundbreaking innovations from Nio and its subsidiary, Onvo.
