Overview
- Onvo, which opened L80 pre-sales Tuesday at 245,800 yuan, saw executives report Wednesday that initial deposits outpaced the L90’s early pace while undercutting Tesla’s Model Y by 17,700 yuan.
- First customer deliveries and the formal launch are scheduled for May 15, with promotions ramping up and test drives beginning May 1 across Nio’s retail network.
- The five-seat L80 shares Nio’s NT 3.0 platform and 900‑volt architecture with the L90, supports sub‑three‑minute battery swaps, and targets buyers who want a large SUV without a third row.
- Shoppers can choose a vision‑only driver‑assist package or the Coconut+ setup that adds LiDAR, 30 sensors, Nio’s Shenji NX9031 chip, and the latest World Model AI software.
- Onvo says the L80 passed a CATARC battery safety challenge with certification under GB 18384‑2025, as the company works to raise brand awareness beyond its current core audience.
