NIO Inc. will officially launch its flagship ES9 SUV on May 27 at 7:30 p.m. Beijing Time. The company will begin customer deliveries the same day, accelerating the original June 1 start date. NIO has pre-built an inventory of over 6,000 units to ensure immediate nationwide availability.
A separate live-streamed event is scheduled for May 26, one evening before the vehicle launch. Executives described the session as a hardcore single-topic event. Analysts expect a major announcement regarding the Nio World Model (NWM) autonomous driving software. CEO William Li previously scheduled a significant software upgrade for a June release.
