Nio's Onvo L90 hits 60,000 deliveries — less than a year after launch

Nio announced Saturday that its Onvo brand delivered the 60,000th L90 in Huzhou, Zhejiang — a milestone that took less than a year from the model’s launch. The L90 is now the best-selling pure electric large SUV in the 300,000 yuan (~$41,000) price bracket.

The L90 launched on July 31, 2025, at 265,800 yuan for the full-purchase option, or 179,800 yuan via Nio’s battery subscription model. At those prices, this three-row SUV has been moving off dealer lots faster than many analysts expected for a relatively new brand.

The 2026 model year version started deliveries this May. Nio held pricing steady: 265,800 yuan outright, or 179,800 yuan with the battery-as-a-service plan.

The 2026 L90 keeps the same family design language but adds two new dual-tone paint options — “Silver-Purple Xiaoxiao” and “Purple-Gold Jinhui” — joining the existing palette of Ridge Brown, Chenhui Silver, Yunjin Gold, Jingmo Black, Xuefeng White, and Ningye Purple. The watchtower-style lidar mount and the blue driving-assist indicator light on the side mirrors carry over unchanged.

At 5,145 mm long, 1,998 mm wide, and 1,786 mm tall on a 3,110 mm wheelbase, the L90 is a substantial vehicle. Buyers can choose six or seven seat configurations.

The 2026 model also debuts Nio’s World Model, upgrading the navigation assist from limited-scenario automation to a full point-to-point system covering highways, urban expressways, city streets, parking lots, and charging stations.

Inside, Nio packed the cabin with a 17.3-inch 3K ceiling-mounted screen, an 8-inch rear display, an 8.86-liter temperature-controlled compartment (0-50°C), 256-color ambient lighting, and a 23-speaker Onvo Sound Premium audio system.

The L90 rides on an 800-volt architecture — Nio calls it “全域900V” — that can push the battery from 10 to 80 percent in about 25 minutes. It also works with Nio’s third and fourth-generation battery swap stations, completing a full swap in three minutes. CLTC-rated range is 600 kilometers.

The question now is whether Onvo can sustain this pace, especially as Chinese EV competition intensifies and price wars continue across segments. But 60,000 units in under a year is the kind of number that gets attention — from rivals, and from customers still deciding which three-row EV to buy.
