NIO’s sub-brand ONVO unveiled its flagship SUV, the L90, at Auto Shanghai 2025, marking a significant stride in the electric vehicle market. Positioned as a full-size, six-seat SUV, the L90 is built on NIO’s NT3.0 platform and features a 900V high-voltage architecture, aiming to cater to families seeking spacious and efficient electric mobility.
Measuring 5,145 mm in length, 1,998 mm in width, and 1,786 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,110 mm, the L90 offers a substantial presence on the road. Its design incorporates a distinctive “shark nose” front, frameless doors, and hidden door handles, contributing to a sleek and modern aesthetic. The vehicle’s exterior is further enhanced by the “Star Path Illumination” pixel headlight system, which supports adaptive lighting functions and customizable light patterns.
One of the L90’s standout features is its storage capacity. The SUV boasts a 240-liter front trunk, or “frunk,” which ONVO claims is the largest among current models in China. This front compartment can accommodate two 20-inch suitcases and a smaller bag, while the rear cargo area is designed to hold seven standard 20-inch suitcases, even when all six seats are occupied.
Under the hood, the L90 offers both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations. The rear-wheel-drive model is equipped with a 340 kW motor, while the all-wheel-drive variant adds a 100 kW front motor, resulting in a combined output of 440 kW . Both versions come standard with an 85 kWh battery pack, available in lithium iron phosphate and ternary lithium chemistries. The SUV also supports NIO’s battery swap technology, allowing for quick battery replacements at designated stations.
The L90’s suspension system features a double-wishbone independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension, complemented by an air suspension setup for enhanced ride comfort. Additionally, the vehicle includes electric side steps and a thick D-pillar design, contributing to its robust and commanding appearance.
Inside, while the full interior has yet to be revealed, ONVO emphasizes the L90’s focus on space efficiency and intelligent mobility systems. The SUV is designed to accommodate various travel scenarios, supporting configurations like “six passengers and ten suitcases.” The vehicle also incorporates a pure vision-based autonomous driving solution, indicated by the presence of two roof-mounted cameras.
The L90 is scheduled for official launch in the third quarter of 2025. ONVO aims to position the SUV competitively in the market, targeting middle-income families seeking a spacious and technologically advanced electric vehicle. The brand has set ambitious sales targets, with plans to achieve 20,000 monthly deliveries by March 2025.
