NIO will officially launch the ET5/ET5T "Sky Purple" Limited Edition on December 16, 2025. This special edition model has already garnered widespread attention due to its unique design and advanced features. Below, we will introduce the highlights of this new car from multiple perspectives.
The most eye-catching feature of the 2025 NIO ET5 / 2025 NIO ET5T "Sky Purple" Limited Edition is its exclusive paint color. The new car uses a low-saturation light purple "Sky Purple" exclusive paint, inspired by the Aegean sunset skyline, presenting a gradient effect under sunlight, with excellent texture. Dark purple decals are added to many parts of the body, and there is an exclusive "CHAMPION EDITION" badge on the rear quarter window, highlighting its special status.
In terms of front design, the new car adopts a more streamlined vertical cut design, paired with ADB intelligent multi-beam headlights (standard) and refreshed Double-Dash daytime running lights, along with a closed front grille and larger trapezoidal air intakes, creating a stronger visual impact. The ET5T model also adds an active retractable rear wing, which can provide 40kg of downforce at high speeds to improve stability.
In terms of body dimensions, both models are identical, with a length, width, and height of 4790/1960/1499mm, and a wheelbase of 2888mm.

In terms of interior, the 2025 NIO ET5/ET5T "Sky Purple" limited edition has undergone a comprehensive upgrade. The new model features a 15.6-inch horizontal AMOLED central control screen with a 3K resolution, extremely narrow bezels, and a crisp display.

The steering wheel has been upgraded to a three-spoke flat-bottom design, with a new electronic gear selector behind it, freeing up space in the central control area.

Notably, the new model adds a new "Thin Wisteria Purple" interior color scheme (5 options available), echoing the "Sky Purple" exterior and creating a unique interior atmosphere. The ET5T also features a smart adjustable panoramic sunroof, achieving a "mobile constant temperature cabin" effect.
In terms of powertrain, the 2025 NIO ET5/ET5T "Sky Purple" Limited Edition continues the dual-motor four-wheel drive layout. The front axle is equipped with a 150kW induction motor, and the rear axle features a 210kW permanent magnet motor, with a combined output of 360kW (490 hp) and a peak torque of 700 N·m, achieving a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of just 4 seconds.
The battery pack offers two options: 75kWh and 100kWh, providing a CLTC range of 710km (ET5) and 740km (ET5T) respectively. The new vehicle supports "Battery Swap 3.0" technology, allowing for battery replacement in just 5 minutes, and is also compatible with 800V supercharging.
The chassis system has undergone comprehensive optimization, featuring a standard CDC dynamic suspension damping control system and rear subframe hydraulic bushings, with meticulous tuning of over 15 chassis hardware components.

The new vehicle features the NWMNIO World Model, supporting NOP+ all-domain navigation, covering scenarios such as highways, urban areas, and parking. Autonomous parking navigation and beyond-line-of-sight parking functions will be rolled out by the end of June. A new RCM rear-end collision prevention function has been added, reducing forward lurch distance by 93%; standard tire blowout control technology maintains vehicle stability at speeds up to 130 km/h.
Regarding the intelligent cockpit, the new vehicle features an 18.8-inch W-HUD head-up display system with added AR navigation, projecting an area equivalent to a 70-inch screen. The NOMI Mate 3.0 voice assistant has had its response time optimized to 0.8 seconds, with a high wake-up recognition rate.
