The 2026 NIO ET5 and ET5 Touring (ET5T) officially launched today, with a starting price of RMB 298,000 (or RMB 190,000 with battery-as-a-service). A new "Nature Adventure Edition" has been added, starting at RMB 310,000. All variants now come standard with LiDAR, 4D millimeter-wave radar, and an advanced driver-assistance indicator light.

Exterior updates include the Moon 3.0 package, featuring ADB matrix headlights and a blade-style rear diffuser. The Nature Adventure Edition is distinguished by nature-inspired color options—such as Starry Green and Cloud White—and exclusive design elements. Inside, standard features include Nappa leather and Haptex dual-material seats, a 15.6-inch AMOLED center display, an 18.8-inch W-HUD, and a 7.1.4 immersive sound system. Under the hood, a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system enables a 0–100 km/h sprint in just 4.0 seconds.
