On September 19th, Nio's sub-brand ONVO officially launched its first mass-produced model, the ONVO L60, with a starting price of CNY 206,900 (US$ 29,370). Deliveries of the ONVO L60 are set to begin by the end of September.

ONVO revealed that all its vehicles will be built on Nio's NT3.0 platform, benefiting from Nio's battery-swapping network.

The L60's design, led by former Bentley designer Raul Pires, follows the ''WAY UP'' design philosophy, which combines aesthetic appeal with the SUV's family-oriented purpose. The vehicle features a closed front grille and split headlights for a sleek look. The L60 is available in seven different body colours and boasts a drag coefficient of 0.229 Cd. Its dimensions are 4,828 mm in length, 1,930 mm in width, and 1,616 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,950 mm, positioning it as a mid-size SUV.

For smart driving, the ONVO L60 offers a fully visual-based intelligent driving solution, available immediately upon delivery. It is equipped with 30 high-performance sensors, including a 4D imaging radar with a detection range of up to 370 metres, seven 8-megapixel HD cameras with a forward detection range of 687 metres, and four starlight 360-degree cameras capable of functioning in low-light conditions down to 12 lux.

Inside, the L60 sports a minimalist design, featuring a three-spoke steering wheel and a 17.2-inch 3K retina-grade display with a 16:10 aspect ratio. The vehicle is powered by an NVIDIA Orin X chip, delivering 254 Tops of computing power.

In terms of smart features, the City Oasis AI system offers an immersive entertainment experience, while the AI voice assistant ''Xiao Le'' anticipates passenger needs, adjusting seats, climate control, and more. The vehicle also includes an 18-speaker ONVO premium sound system.

The L60 runs on a 900V silicon carbide platform. The two-wheel-drive variant is equipped with a 240 kW motor, while the all-wheel-drive version features a 100 kW motor at the front and a 240 kW motor at the rear. The vehicle will offer two battery options: a 60 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery and an 85kWh ternary lithium battery, with ranges of 730 km and over 1,000 km respectively, depending on the configuration.
