Nio Inc.‘s family-oriented sub-brand Onvo announced on Friday it has began nationwide deliveries of the revamped L60.
The refreshed model brings a generational upgrade to the mid-size SUV — which the brand noted has reached nearly 100,000 buyers since its September 2024 debut.
The new L60 is offered in three trims — Pro, Max+ and Ultra+ — starting from 192,800 yuan ($28,400) with the battery included or 135,800 yuan ($20,000) under Nio‘s Battery as a Service subscription, which lets buyers lease the battery separately.
Both entry prices land 14,100 yuan below the outgoing model’s 206,900-yuan starting point, despite pre-launch signals from the brand that the new generation would cost nearly 20,000 yuan more.
The below-expectations sticker repeats the pattern Nio set with the ES9 flagship last month, when final prices came in 30,000 yuan below pre-sale levels.
More than 1,000 display and test-drive vehicles have already arrived at Onvo dealerships and city showrooms across China, the company said.
Test drives had also opened at showrooms on June 6, ahead of Thursday’s launch event.
Customers who place a deposit and lock in an order by June 30 can access a limited-time benefits package the brand values at more than 53,000 yuan ($7,820).
A rear-seat comfort and entertainment package — which includes a 17.3-inch ceiling-mounted entertainment screen on the Ultra+ trim — is available for an additional 1,000 yuan ($150) during the promotional window.
Updated Specs
Onvo markets the refresh as carrying 106 individual upgrades across six major areas, spanning the powertrain, battery, intelligent-driving hardware, cabin, chassis and exterior.
The new L60 is available with 60 kWh and 85 kWh battery packs across all three trims, delivering CLTC range ratings between 530 and 740 kilometers depending on battery size and drivetrain.
Battery rental under BaaS costs 599 yuan a month for the 60 kWh pack and 899 yuan for the 85 kWh unit.
Onvo calls the new L60 the industry’s first mass-produced vehicle with a full-domain 900V high-voltage architecture, extending high-voltage operation across the electric drive system, motor controller, battery, on-board charger, DC-DC converter, PTC heater and heat pump.
Charging from 10% to 80% takes 25 minutes.
Buyers choose between a single-motor rear-drive configuration producing 240 kW and 305 Nm, offered on the Pro and Max+ trims, and a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup rated at 340 kW and 440 Nm on the Ultra+.
Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h comes in at 5.9 seconds on the single-motor variants and 4.6 seconds on the dual-motor version. Energy consumption falls as low as 11.9 kWh per 100 km on the entry trim.
Intelligent Driving
The most consequential hardware shift is the addition of LiDAR-equipped trims — a clean break from Onvo‘s founding strategy, which deliberately omitted the sensor to maintain a lower price point when the L60 first launched.
The entry Pro runs a pure-vision setup powered by Nvidia’s Orin-X processor with 254 TOPS of computing power and 29 perception units including a 4D millimeter-wave radar.
Both the Max+ and Ultra+ carry Nio‘s in-house Shenji NX9031 chip — described as the world’s first 5 nm automotive-grade smart-driving chip — paired with 30 perception units including a roof-mounted high-precision LiDAR.
Intelligent-driving software runs on Nio‘s World Model, which the brand says shares the same baseline as the Nio ES9 flagship.
The system supports point-to-point navigation assistance, automated highway toll-gate passage and automated entry into battery swap stations.
Every trim carries a 17.2-inch 3K central touchscreen, a 13-inch head-up display, an 8-inch rear entertainment screen and a reclining front passenger seat. Cargo capacity reaches 763 liters behind the rear seats, expanding to 2,060 liters with them folded.
Onvo’s Lineup
The L60 refresh completes a lineup-wide overhaul that makes Nio‘s flagship intelligent-driving hardware available across every Onvo model.
The cycle began with the revamped L90 launched on April 21 and continued with the L80 five-seat SUV that went on sale May 15.
All three models now offer LiDAR-equipped trims with the Shenji chip.
The relaunch arrives as Onvo grapples with what Nio‘s founder and CEO William Li has called the sub-brand’s most pressing structural challenge: low brand awareness.
Li has compared Onvo‘s current visibility to the Nio brand’s own recognition levels in 2020 — a period when the parent company nearly ran out of cash before a roughly $1 billion rescue led by the Hefei municipal government.
Internal research has shown, however, that Onvo‘s conversion rate from awareness to purchase ranks among the top in the industry.
Onvo delivered 12,029 vehicles in May, a 124.8% surge from April and a 91.5% increase year over year.
The sub-brand surpassed 150,000 cumulative deliveries during the month and represented 31.9% of Nio Inc.‘s 37,705 global May deliveries — still well short of the 55% long-term share Li has outlined under the group’s target brand mix.
