NIO Attends Auto Guangzhou 2025
Under the theme "Innovate to New Horizons," NIO showcased its product and technology lineup at the 23rd Guangzhou International Automobile Exhibition (Auto Guangzhou 2025). Celebrating the 9th anniversary of the NIO brand and logo, it introduced two new color themes for its smart electric executive flagship ET9 Horizon Edition: First Light and Sunlit Peak, priced from RMB 818,000 for outright purchase or RMB 710,000 with the BaaS (Battery-as-a-Service) subscription plan.
2025 marks a milestone year for NIO as the company accelerates its infrastructure expansion, rolling out major products and realizing technological progress built over a decade of innovation. NIO presented a comprehensive and refreshed lineup featuring the flagship ET9, the All-New ES8, the New ET5, ET5T, ES6, and EC6, along with multiple special editions, including the New ES6 Milestone Edition and the New ET5T Noir Version. This lineup showcases NIO’s strength in product innovation and technological advancement.
To celebrate the milestone of 90 million battery swaps, NIO introduced a special co-branded Power Swap Station at the auto show in collaboration with Coca-Cola, featuring a refreshed design under the theme "3-Minute Swap, Pure Joy Ahead." Limited-edition, NIO-branded Coca-Cola was also available, adding a spark of shared joy from both brands.
NIO has made continuous investments in charging and swapping infrastructure, aiming to establish the world’s most extensive and capable power network for electric vehicles. As of November 21, 2025, NIO operates 8,380 recharging stations in China, including 3,576 Power Swap Stations and 4,804 charging stations with 27,444 chargers, leading the industry.
In Guangdong Province, NIO has deployed 451 Power Swap Stations and 505 charging stations with 3,622 chargers, covering all 122 districts and counties.
With 11 years of investment in recharging infrastructure and core technologies, NIO’s battery electric models now deliver experiences exceeding those of traditional ICE vehicles in many scenarios, making EV travel increasingly reassuring and convenient. William Li, NIO’s Founder, Chairman, and CEO, stated, "2025 is a turning point where the experience advantages of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) outweigh the inconvenience of charging."
The All-New ES8 launched in September exemplifies this trend. Leveraging its advantages in space, driving, and comfort enabled by BEV technologies, the All-New ES8 has gained traction in the premium large three-row SUV segment, delivering 10,000 units in just 41 days, setting a new record as the fastest BEV model priced above RMB 400,000 to surpass this milestone.
As more battery electric three-row SUVs enter the market, their sales growth has outpaced that of range-extended, plug-in hybrid, and ICE models, affirming that the battery electric era for large three-row SUVs has truly arrived.
The All-New ES8, embodying NIO’s 12 full-stack technological capabilities, elevates the premium experience, blending original design with cutting-edge technology and aesthetics to reflect users’ exceptional taste. With ample space for six people and 12 suitcases, it enables effortless travel. The intelligent chassis system ensures smooth drives and stable rides. Inside, the immersive cabin featuring both Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision, along with the fully upgraded NOMI Intelligence, delivers a class-leading user experience.
Olympic champion Yi Siling and renowned actor-singer Wallace Chung made a joint appearance at NIO’s booth as users of the All-New ES8.
