Het was al bekend dat Onvo zou concurreren met de Tesla Y op formaat, techniek en prijs. Maar blijkbaar ook op energie efficiëntie. Als dit ook in de werkelijkheid zo uitpakt is dat wel een prestatie. En dan heb je ook nog battery swap mogelijkheid erbij zodat je ook nog eens tijdelijk een grotere accu (tot aan 150kWh) kan plaatsen.
On May 15, Nio launched its mass-market brand, Onvo. It is positioned under the Nio brand and focuses on young families. Onvo stands for On Voyage, and the Chinese name is Ledao (乐道).
The deliveries will start in September, and the presale started today for 219,900 yuan (30,500 USD).
Onvo L60 is an all-electric fastback SUV, and during the official launch, Nio heavily benchmarked it with the Tesla Model Y in all aspects. The EV’s energy consumption is 12.1 kWh/100km under CLTC conditions, which is better than the Model Y’s 12.5 kWh/100km consumption under the same CLTC conditions, Nio claims.
“We’ve prioritized low power consumption since day 1,” Onvo president Alan Ai (Ai Tiecheng) said before the launch. Ai is a former General Manager of WeWork China and vice president of marketing at Disney, who joined Nio in January 2021, creating a team internally called Alps, which was Onvos’s codename.
The L60 is a mid-size SUV with dimensions 4828/1930/1616 mm (length/width/height) and a wheelbase of 2950 mm. That translates as 190/76/64 inches and 116 inches wheelbase.
For comparison, the Tesla Model Y is slightly smaller, with dimensions of 4750/1921/1624 mm and a wheelbase of 2890 mm. Tesla’s SUV starts at 249,900 yuan (34,600 USD) in China for the 60 kWh variant, which has a CLTC range of 554 km (344 miles). Unlike Model Y, the Onvo L60 doesn’t have a frunk.
“The pre-sale price of the Onvo L60 is 30,000 yuan (4,200 USD) cheaper than the Model Y,” said Alan Ai during the launch event.
The L60 will come in three range variants:
Some media previously speculated about BYD being an Onvo supplier; however, Nio didn’t disclose the battery manufacturer during the conference.
Nio stated that Onvo will launch globally in late 2024, and the first stop will most likely be the European Union.
In terms of computing power, L60 is equipped with one Nvidia Orin X chip, which has a computing power of 254 TOPS and seven 8-megapixel high-definition cameras. It has no lidar. Regarding aerodynamics, the drag coefficient is 0.229Cd at 120km/h.
The interior wasn’t officially unveiled, but we know the cabin will have a large 17.2″ central control screen, no LCD instrument panel in front of the driver, and instead a 13″ head-up display (HUD). The rear seats can be equipped with 8″ entertainment screens. All this is conducted by a new Onvo OS in-cabin software. Interestingly, front seats can be entirely down to create one big bed for sleeping.
Onvo L60 was created by former Bentley designer Raul Pires, Nio’s Head of Design, who spent over 20 years at Volkswagen Group.
Onvo cars will support battery swapping and are compatible with Nio’s swap stations. However, not all – Onvo will be compatible only with the third and fourth-generation swap stations. Nio currently has about 2,400 swap stations of which 1,000 are third and fourth generation, which Onov cars can use.in China
Onvo L60 will compete with the Tesla Model Y, Toyota Rav4, Xpeng G6 and BYD Sea Lion 07 in China. The EV will start deliveries in September when the powertrain and the rest of the key specifications will be revealed.
