On April 3, NIO announced that the 2026 ONVO L90 will officially launch on April 21. This new vehicle is a large, six-seat, all-electric SUV designed specifically for families worldwide. It features support for 900V high-voltage fast charging (recharging from 10% to 80% in just 25 minutes) and access to NIO’s network of over 3,400 battery swap stations (allowing for a full battery swap in 3 minutes). The new model lineup includes a newly added LiDAR-equipped variant, and the entire series benefits from OTA updates to an end-to-end intelligent driving system, supporting both urban and highway NOA (Navigate on Autopilot) as well as human-machine co-driving capabilities.
Front Fascia: Features "Star-Road Sparkle" intelligent interactive pixel headlights, which support light-based communication signals and offer exceptional visual recognition at night.
Body Profile: Incorporates flush door handles, frameless doors, and a hidden B-pillar/C-pillar design, resulting in an ultra-low drag coefficient of just 0.26 Cd.
New Options: Two-tone body paint schemes (e.g., a black roof paired with a white body), brand-new 21-inch "Radiance" alloy wheels, and a roof spoiler.
Rear End: Features a horizontal-strip intelligent taillight design that supports dynamic interactive lighting effects, while a concealed rear windshield wiper enhances the vehicle's overall aesthetic appeal.
