The 2026 NIO ES9 uses a six-seat layout.

Two major interior configurations are available depending on version:

• Six-seat layout with executive center console

This allows buyers to choose between maximum second-row executive comfort and easier movement between the second and third rows.

Executive Second Row

Second-row passenger comfort is one of the ES9’s major selling points.

The executive seating area can provide approximately:

1.5 meters of maximum legroom

Rear passengers can use dual approximately:

16-inch NIO Link PanoDisplays

with high-resolution AMOLED technology.

LYRA 47-Speaker Audio System

High-specification versions of the 2026 NIO ES9 feature an advanced LYRA sound system.

The flagship system can use up to:

47 speakers

to create an immersive cabin audio experience.

This makes the ES9 particularly attractive to customers comparing flagship luxury SUVs.

Smart Five-Zone Climate Control

The ES9 provides advanced climate management for different passenger areas.

The intelligent five-zone climate system allows occupants to personalize temperature and airflow.

Smart vents can adjust airflow according to:

• Passenger position
• Seat position
• Sunlight exposure
• Cabin temperature

This improves comfort for all three rows.

8.8L Smart Refrigerator

The 2026 NIO ES9 can be equipped with an approximately:

8.8-liter smart refrigerator.

The system supports temperatures ranging approximately from:

-2°C to 55°C

depending on operating mode.

This makes it suitable for:

• Cold drinks
• Food
• Baby products
• Warm beverages
• Travel supplies

Large Six-Seat Cabin

Passenger space is one of the ES9’s defining advantages.

The cabin provides approximately:

2,805 mm of longitudinal usable space

with more than one meter of headroom available across the passenger rows.

This allows the ES9 to provide genuine three-row comfort rather than using the third row only for occasional passengers.

816L Total Storage

The 2026 NIO ES9 provides substantial luggage and storage capacity.

Total available storage reaches approximately:

816 liters

across the front and rear luggage areas.

This includes a large front trunk and rear luggage compartment.

216L Power Frunk

The ES9 provides an unusually large approximately:

216-liter front trunk.

This area can store luggage independently from the passenger cabin.

It also supports convenient powered opening functions.

600L Rear Trunk

With six passengers onboard, rear cargo capacity can reach approximately:

600 liters

plus approximately:

123 liters of hidden underfloor storage.

This makes the ES9 suitable for six-person long-distance travel without sacrificing luggage capacity.

102 kWh Battery

The 2026 NIO ES9 uses a:

102 kWh battery

across its current China-market lineup.

The battery works with NIO’s new-generation 900V electrical platform.

This combination supports both high-performance driving and ultra-fast energy replenishment.

Up to 620 KM CLTC Range

The maximum 2026 NIO ES9 range reaches approximately:

620 km CLTC

on applicable configurations.

Higher-equipment versions can provide approximately 600 km CLTC depending on configuration.

Actual driving range depends on:

• Temperature
• Vehicle load
• Road conditions
• Driving speed
• Air-conditioning use
• Wheel and tire configuration
• Driving style

Full-Domain 900V Architecture

One of the most important technical features of the 2026 NIO ES9 is its full-domain 900V high-voltage architecture.

Key high-voltage systems can operate at up to approximately:

925V

including the:

• Electric drive
• Battery
• Power electronics
• Air-conditioning system
• DC-DC converter

This architecture helps improve charging speed and drivetrain efficiency.

Up to 600 kW Peak Charging

The 900V platform supports extremely high charging performance.

Peak charging power can reach approximately:

600 kW

with a maximum charging current of approximately:

765 A

under suitable charging conditions.

This makes the ES9 one of the most advanced high-voltage electric SUVs in the Chinese premium market.

5C Ultra-Fast Charging

The 2026 NIO ES9 supports 5C ultra-fast charging.

This allows the battery to replenish energy rapidly when connected to compatible high-power charging infrastructure.

For international markets, actual charging performance depends on the charging equipment available locally.

Battery Swapping

The ES9 also retains one of NIO’s signature technologies:

battery swapping.

Under compatible NIO Power Swap infrastructure, battery replacement can take approximately:

3 minutes

under suitable conditions.

This gives users another energy replenishment option in addition to conventional charging.

For export markets, battery swap availability depends on local NIO infrastructure.

520 kW Dual-Motor AWD

The 2026 NIO ES9 uses a powerful dual-motor AWD system.

The drivetrain combines:

• 180 kW front induction motor
• 340 kW rear permanent-magnet motor

for approximately:

520 kW total output.

This provides strong performance while retaining intelligent AWD capability.

0–100 KM/H in 4.3 Seconds

Despite its large size, the ES9 can accelerate from:

0–100 km/h in approximately 4.3 seconds.

This gives the flagship SUV performance comparable with much smaller sports-oriented electric vehicles.

SkyRide Intelligent Chassis

The 2026 NIO ES9 uses NIO’s advanced SkyRide Intelligent Chassis.

The system integrates:

• Fully active suspension
• Steer-by-wire
• Rear-wheel steering
• Motion control
• Intelligent sensing

This allows the large SUV to combine comfort with surprisingly agile handling.

Fully Active Suspension

The ES9 uses an advanced integrated hydraulic fully active suspension system.

The system can continuously control:

• Suspension stiffness

• Ride height
• Body pitch
• Body roll

This is particularly useful during:

• Acceleration
• Braking
• Cornering
• Lane changes
• Uneven-road driving

The result is a more stable passenger experience.

Steer-by-Wire

The 2026 NIO ES9 uses production steer-by-wire technology.

The steering ratio can intelligently adjust approximately between:

6:1 and 14:1.

This allows the large SUV to feel easier to control at low speeds while maintaining stability at higher speeds.

Rear-Wheel Steering

The ES9 also features rear-wheel steering.

Maximum rear steering angle reaches approximately:

8.4 degrees.

This significantly improves low-speed maneuverability.

5.4-Meter Turning Radius

Despite measuring more than 5.3 meters long, the ES9 achieves a turning radius of approximately:

5.4 meters.

This makes:

• Parking
• U-turns
• Garage maneuvering
• Urban driving

much easier than its dimensions might suggest.

The system integrates approximately:

31 high-performance sensors.

These include:

• Long-range front LiDAR

This works together with NIO’s vehicle operating system and sensing hardware.

The architecture supports continuous OTA development and increasingly advanced assisted-driving functionality.
