NIO has opened its second showroom in Sweden, marking its continued expansion in the European market. The new NIO Space is located in Göteborg, Sweden’s second-largest city, and was unveiled on February 23. The opening of this showroom comes just months after the company opened its first Swedish showroom in Stockholm.
According to Mattias Lundgren, general manager of NIO Sweden, the new NIO Space in Göteborg will feature the latest NIO models, including the ET7, EL7 and ET5. The ET7, which was unveiled at the NIO Berlin launch event in October 2022, is the company’s flagship sedan, while the EL7 is known as the ES7 in China. The ET5 is a compact SUV that was introduced in the Chinese market last year.

NIO Spaces are smaller showrooms that are typically found in large shopping malls in China. The company’s flagship showrooms are known as NIO Houses, which offer a more immersive experience for customers. Although the new NIO Space in Göteborg is smaller in size, it will offer customers the opportunity to explore and learn about NIO’s cutting-edge technology and innovative design.
Göteborg, which is located across the sea from Denmark, is the largest unfrozen port in Northern Europe. The city has a rich history and is known for its thriving automotive industry, making it an ideal location for NIO’s latest showroom.
NIO’s expansion in Sweden is part of the company’s broader push into the European market. The company has already established a strong presence in China, with 299 NIO Spaces and 99 NIO Houses as of January 2023. By expanding its reach into Europe, NIO aims to tap into a new customer base and further establish itself as a leader in the global EV market.

With its sleek design, cutting-edge technology and commitment to sustainability, NIO is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for EVs in Europe and around the world. As the company continues to expand its global footprint, it is likely to emerge as a major player in the fast-growing EV market.
