In a bid to enhance their appeal, NIO, the renowned electric vehicle manufacturer, has expanded the customization options for three of its models.
Effective immediately, both the ET5 sedan and ES7 SUV now offer a gold exterior option, priced at RMB 10,000 ($1,400), according to an article released on the NIO App.
Furthermore, all three models, namely the ET5, ES7, and the recently launched ES8, now come equipped with a new front wiper defrost function. This feature, priced at RMB 1,000, helps the wipers quickly return to normal operation during cold weather, ensuring effective snow clearance and maintaining clear visibility.
Vehicles with the optional front wiper defrost feature will receive an over-the-air (OTA) update to enable the software compatibility required for its operation.
In addition, the ET5 has received an update with optional wheel and tire combinations. While the model comes standard with 19-inch five-spoke wheels, customers now have the choice of other wheel and tire options, available for an additional cost ranging from RMB 3,500 to RMB 9,500. The NIO ET5 was unveiled during NIO Day 2021 in December and saw its first deliveries on September 30, 2022.
Similarly, the NIO ES7 was launched on June 15, 2022, and experienced its initial deliveries on August 28, 2022.
As for the recently introduced ES8, it made its debut on NIO Day 2022, celebrated on December 24, 2022. Deliveries for the ES8 are set to commence later this month.
