So you can tell that the Nio ET9 likes Def Rhymz

Strange combination, a Chinese electric SUV and a Dutch rapper. But not if you see what the Nio ET9 does in this video. “Shake your ass, left to right.”

In this video, the Nio ET9 looks like a dog shaking off all the water after jumping into a ditch. Although in this case it is snow. The Chinese Nio shows what its Sky Ride system can do.

Nio ET9 with active chassis

In other words: The future ET9 has an active chassis with individually controllable dampers. This means the car always stays straight when cornering and on rough terrain.

Shake snow off the car

At least that’s one of the applications. Apparently hopping quickly from left to right is another matter. Maybe not very useful in practice except for shaking powder snow off the carriage.

Competitor of Porsche Taycan

We deliberately write “future” ET9 because the Chinese competitor for the BMW i7, Mercedes EQS, Porsche Taycan and Tesla Model S was already presented in December but is not yet on the market.

Fast charging with 600 kW

It has two electric motors that together produce 707 horsepower. They are powered by a 120 kWh battery, which is of course replaceable, but can also be charged with up to 600 kW.

Porsche uses an 800-volt electrical system for the Taycan, which means the car can charge with a maximum of 320 kW. Nio says it uses a 900-volt network in the ET9.
