Nio's ET9 makes Germany's limousines look like tractors
A Chinese carmaker just out-engineered the people who invented the prestige limousine.
The Nio ET9 is the proof. Watch what its suspension does to a broken road, then watch a BMW or an Audi attempt the same. One glides. The others crash about like farm equipment.
Nio pitches the ET9 as an executive flagship and the cabin earns it: four seats, reclining rear thrones, a fridge and screens everywhere. Nio reckons the ride is “comparable to cruising in a business jet”. On this evidence that is not the usual launch-day hyperbole.
