    Description:

    The NIO ET5 is a mid-size electric sedan with dual-motor all-wheel drive as standard, and the ET5 Touring is its wagon version, with the same length, wheelbase and drivetrain. It takes on the BMW i4 and Tesla Model 3, and its battery can be swapped for a charged one at NIO Power Swap stations instead of plugging in. Both bodies come with Standard Range or Long Range batteries, and NIO sells them in a limited and shrinking set of European markets. Neither is sold in the UK or Canada.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    No. NIO doesn't sell cars in Canada and hasn't announced plans to, and the ET5 isn't sold in the UK either, even though a UK launch was once expected. It's sold in a limited set of European markets, and our guide to Chinese EVs in Canada tracks which Chinese brands and models are coming.
    Not federally if a Canadian ET5 were built in China, because EVAP excludes China-built vehicles, and Manitoba's rebate excludes China-made EVs bought after March 19, 2025. Quebec's Roulez vert, the only other provincial purchase rebate, ends on December 31, 2026, and NIO hasn't announced any plans to sell cars in Canada.
    The ET5 is a sedan and the ET5 Touring is a wagon, with the same length, wheelbase and all-wheel-drive system. The Touring has a bigger boot of 450 litres, or 1,300 litres with the rear seats folded, and its WLTP range is slightly lower. The two drive much the same.
    On the WLTP cycle, the sedan is rated at 456 km with the Standard Range battery and 590 km with the Long Range battery. The ET5 Touring wagon is rated at 435 km and 560 km respectively. Cold weather reduces the range of any EV, so expect noticeably less in a Canadian winter.
    The Standard Range battery is 75 kWh (nominal), or 73.5 kWh net, and the Long Range battery is 100 kWh (nominal), or 90 kWh net. Both sizes are offered in the sedan and the Touring, and because the battery can be swapped, the exact pack version in the car can change over its life.
    DC fast charging from 10% to 80% takes about 26 to 40 minutes, depending on which battery pack version is fitted, with peak power of up to 180 kW. The onboard AC charger accepts up to 11 kW. To plan home charging, try the EV charging cost calculator.
    At a NIO Power Swap station, the car's battery is exchanged automatically for a charged one in minutes, although the European network is small and NIO has reportedly stopped adding stations there. Battery-as-a-Service lets you buy the ET5 without its battery and rent the battery rather than own it. You can also buy the car outright with the battery included.
    Yes. Every version uses the same dual-motor system with 360 kW and 700 Nm of torque, good for 0–100 km/h in 4 seconds in Sport+ mode and a 200 km/h top speed.
    The ET5 Touring has a 450-litre boot that grows to 1,300 litres with the rear seats folded, and the sedan offers up to 1,135 litres folded. Both can be fitted with an optional electric towbar rated for 1,400 kg braked. For a NIO SUV, see the NIO EL6.
    The ET5 earned five stars from Euro NCAP in 2023, with a strong adult-occupant score, and the rating covers both the sedan and the Touring. NIO's larger six-seat SUV is the NIO EL8.

    Pros & Cons

    Pros:

    The ride is comfortable, the handling stable and the performance well judged.
    The ET5 Touring wagon adds a 450-litre boot that grows to 1,300 litres, a rare body style in the class.
    Standard 360 kW all-wheel drive gives 0–100 km/h in 4 seconds in Sport+ mode.
    At NIO Power Swap stations, a charged battery can be swapped in within minutes.
    Battery-as-a-Service lets buyers rent the battery rather than buy it.
    Materials are high quality, and LiDAR-equipped driver assistance and 23-speaker Dolby Atmos audio are included.
    It earned five stars from Euro NCAP in 2023, covering the sedan and the Touring.

    Cons:

    Most functions are controlled through the touchscreen.
    Peak DC charging power trails the fastest rivals and varies with the battery pack version.
    Power Swap stations are scarce in Europe, and NIO has reportedly stopped adding new ones there.
    NIO has reportedly told European staff not to expect new or updated models until late 2027 or early 2028, and the ET5 isn't sold in Canada.
