Nio‘s sub-brand Onvo unveiled Wednesday a ‘Black Knight’ special edition of its L60 five-seat SUV, with deliveries scheduled to begin December 5.
The new edition was announced days after the family-oriented brand posted a 32% sequential decline in November sales.
In the first half of 2026, Onvo will launch its third model — named L80 and positioned as a large five seat SUV.
The 666-unit limited edition comes as Onvo delivered 11,794 vehicles in November, down from 17,300 in October.
Demand for the brand’s two models has been affected by the subsidy expiration in China, according to Nio founder and Chief Executive William Li.
“Our Onvo L60 and L90 are majorly affected by this cancellation as they are in a relatively low price segment and are more sensitive to such changes,” Li said last week.
Limited Edition Details
The L60 Black Knight Special Edition was announced Wednesday with deliveries beginning December 5. Pricing has not yet been disclosed.
The launch follows a similar strategy deployed for the larger L90, which received its own Black Knight variant at last month’s Guangzhou Auto Show.
The L90 Black Knight Special Edition, priced at 306,800 yuan with battery purchase or 220,800 yuan under battery rental and limited to 999 units, began arriving at showrooms this week with deliveries starting in early December.
Product Updates
The L60’s second iteration includes rear seat ventilation as standard, improved chassis comfort, and reduced energy consumption to 11.9 kWh per 100 kilometers under CLTC testing.
With the recently launched facelift, the model also adds 20-inch wheels and a folding tray table on the right side of the rear seat.
The standard L60 starts at 206,900 yuan ($28,500) with battery purchase or 149,900 yuan under Nio’s battery-as-a-service rental program.
Sales Performance
Despite the November slowdown, Onvo’s average selling price climbed sharply following the August launch of the L90, which is priced roughly 28% above the L60’s base price.
Brand chief Shen Fei said at the Guangzhou Auto Show that average transaction prices rose from approximately 195,800 yuan in July to 252,200 yuan ($35,500) in August, reaching 260,500 yuan ($36,650) in September.
