First generation (2020–2023)

The EC6 is a 5-door, 5-seater crossover SUV with a sporting roofline. It is a "crossover coupe" counterpart to the more boxy ES6. The car is offered with an option for a 100-kWh battery, available for all current Nio models.[1][2][3] The EC6 is powered by a lithium-ion battery pack, which is swappable, just like the Nio ES8.[4]

Since February 2020, the manufacturer has sold the EC6 in mainland China.[5] It is manufactured under a contract by JAC in Anhui, China.[6]

The entry version generates 435 hp, translating into a 0–100km/h time of 5.4 seconds.[3] This version uses permanent magnet motors in both the front and the rear.

The high-end version generates 544 hp, translating into a 0–100km/h time of 4.5 seconds.[3] This version uses a 160kW permanent magnet motor in the front and a 240kW induction motor in the rear.[1][2][7][8]

The EC6 is available with two lithium-ion battery pack options: 70 kWh or 100 kWh. The latter offers a range of 615km NEDC.[4]

Nio claims that the car comes with the largest panoramic sunroof "in its class".[7] The car features active air suspension, NOMI AI personal assistant, Nappa leather and intelligent fragrance system.[9]

It continues to be manufactured under a contract manufacturing agreement with JAC.

The exterior styling has been updated to closely match the EC7, including the grey lower body cladding with round wheel arches, rear tailgate and taillight units. It features a new front end with a revised bumper and hood with modified headlights, along with new mirrors.[6] It is equipped with a LiDAR sensor and cameras mounted on the front of the roof on the center and corners, respectively. It also uses a more durable retractable door handle design.[11] The body has a 0.24 Cd drag coefficient, and it features an active spoiler mounted behind the rear window.[10]
