NIO ET9 in winter trials/NIO
The Chinese NIO continues to challenge the German luxury manufacturers.
A new video released from the winter trials of its flagship, the ET9, illustrates its adaptive suspension capabilities, which can lower it by 4 cm for more comfortable entry and exit, or raise it in the event of a bumpy road, to a crossover clearance of 20 s "M.
The new electric is reminiscent of the Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo in design, but the dimensions are more reminiscent of the Mercedes EQS and BMW i7, with a length of 5.34 meters, a width of 2.02 meters, a height of 1.62 meters and a wheelbase of 3.25 meters.
With such dimensions, the new car locks wheels with 23-inch rims.

Unlike the ET7, in the senior model NIO preferred a fastback design, not a sedan/NIO
In front, the driver and passenger have a 15.6-inch screen and a steering wheel that can be removed when the autonomous driving system is connected.
But the main thing in such a car is in the back: a pair of separate seats, with full electric adjustment, massage, ventilation and heating, a pair of 14.5-inch screens and another tablet with an 8-inch screen to control all the options.
There are also desks, a drinks fridge and of course a huge glass roof.

In addition to the adaptive suspensions, there is also rear steering with a deception of about 8 degrees, to help maneuver the electric limousine in the city and at high speeds outside the city and a steering wheel that is not physically connected to the wheels, but only electronically.
Neo has not yet revealed the official performance data nor the price tag, which is expected to exceed the million shekels in Israel.
Relatively close to the competing German/NIO prices

Two electric motors produce 653 hp and a torque of 86.6 kgm, which according to the manufacturer allow 0-100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and a maximum speed of 200 km/h.
A 100 kW battery allows a range of 470-500 km, depending on the size of the rim, 20 or 21 inches. Fast charging is possible at a relatively slow rate of only 125 kW, perhaps because of the theoretical option for the time being in Israel, to change batteries.
As with the ET9 here as well There are adaptive suspensions, which allow a similar height change.
The price? NIS 555,000 for the regular model, and an additional NIS 20,000 for the 21-inch rims.
