William Li, CEO of NIO, revealed during a livestream last night that the new ONVO L60 will be previewed at the end of May and officially launched in June. As a yearly facelift model, the exterior design of the new car sees only minor changes, with the focus on upgrades to intelligent features and the battery swap experience. William Li shared during the livestream that the new L60 debuts three core NIO technologies for the first time: the 5nm autonomous driving chip “Shenji NX9031”, the NIO World Model, and the AI-oriented whole-vehicle operating system SkyOS. Official MIIT images of the new L60. In terms of specific autonomous driving solutions, the new L60 follows the same approach as the L90 and L80. It will offer a LiDAR version equipped with the Shenji NX9031 chip, while the entry‑level version remains a pure vision solution powered by the NVIDIA Orin X chip. As for the exterior, the new L60 largely follows the current design, but the company emphasizes a more “simple, dynamic, and tech‑forward” look. Referring to the official images already published by MIIT, the front fascia adopts a new design with a smoother and cleaner front bumper. Meanwhile, the new car will offer optional LiDAR and various rear badges. Current ONVO L60. Beyond the vehicle’s own upgrades, the ONVO brand continues to improve the charging and battery swapping experience. Earlier this year, ONVO completed a nationwide doubling of batteries at its swap stations, adding more than 8,000 batteries – more than doubling the user experience. According to Shen Fei, President of ONVO, by the end of this year, the number of ONVO‑accessible swap stations across China will exceed 3,300. It is worth adding that just yesterday, the NIO ES9 set a new record for the shortest time to complete 10,000 kilometers in a pure electric vehicle, with a time of 94 hours, 19 minutes and 11 seconds. The previous record holder was the ONVO L60, which successfully completed the challenge on July 8, 2025. This achievement can also be seen as the best testament to the improved charging and swapping experience across all NIO Group brands. NIO ES9 successfully sets 10,000 km record. As of today, NIO has built 8,858 charging and swapping stations nationwide, including 3,843 swap stations, 5,015 charging stations, and 28,833 charging posts, having provided over 100 million battery swap services cumulatively. What draws the most attention is the pricing of the new ONVO L60. Currently, the starting price for the current L60 is RMB 206,900 (approx. USD 30434) for the whole vehicle, or RMB 149,900 (approx. USD 22050) under the BaaS battery subscription plan. The new model comes with comprehensive upgrades to the chip and the autonomous driving system, which inevitably bring significant cost pressure. However, with the upcoming launch of the L80, ONVO’s entire product pricing system needs to be reorganized. As we have seen, the L90 has added LiDAR while keeping the price unchanged. The L80‘s BaaS pre‑sale price is RMB 159,800 (approx. USD 23506), only about RMB 10,000 (approx. USD 1471) higher than the current L60’s BaaS version. Both models have a five‑seat layout, and the L80 clearly offers greater product advantages in comparison. Therefore, to establish a reasonable price gap from the L80, the final pricing of the new L60 will most likely be even lower than the current model.
