Nio Sold 21,017 Vehicles in July, Marking a 2.53% Year-over-Year Increase
In a significant development for Nio Inc, the delivery of the Onvo L90 SUV is set to positively impact the company's August vehicle deliveries. The large three-row electric SUV, launched by Nio's sub-brand Onvo, has seen robust sales since its launch on July 31, with deliveries commencing on August 1 in China.
The Onvo L90, targeted at the family market rather than Nio's premium segment, has a competitive pricing strategy, with prices starting around RMB 279,900 (~$39,000) or lower with battery rental (BaaS). This affordability, combined with its technical appeal—large space, competitive range, and features designed by a former Bentley designer—makes it an attractive option for potential buyers.
Despite a 6.6% dip in July deliveries to 5,976 vehicles, the increased waiting time for L90 orders and statements from Onvo leadership indicate accelerating deliveries in August. Delivery times for the L90 have stretched from the initial estimate of 4–6 weeks to 8–10 weeks due to strong demand, further supporting its positive contribution to monthly delivery figures.
The busy scenes at Onvo stores circulating on social media suggest that the L90 could significantly boost Nio Inc's August delivery volume. This surge in orders and accelerating deliveries make the L90 a key growth driver for Nio's volume in this period.
It's worth noting that Nio Inc delivered 21,017 vehicles in July, a figure that marks the fourth consecutive month that the company has exceeded the 20,000-unit mark. In the first seven months of the year, Nio Inc delivered 135,167 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 25.24 percent.
However, the Nio main brand delivered 87,120 vehicles in January-July, a decrease of 19.28 percent year-on-year. July saw a delivery of 12,675 units from the Nio main brand, representing a 2.53 percent increase from the same month last year but a 38.16 percent decrease year-on-year for the Nio main brand.
Firefly, another sub-brand of Nio, delivered 2,366 units in July, a decrease of 39.83 percent from June.
The Onvo L90's launch price is equivalent to approximately $36,850 USD, making it an attractive option for the mass market. The L90's launch marks the latest model in Nio Onvo's expanding product line.
Onvo has increased the number of vehicles available for test drives from 600 to 1000 to reduce customer wait times. The first deliveries of the L90 have begun in 44 cities across China.
In conclusion, the Onvo L90 is not just a significant addition to Nio's product line but also a key factor in boosting Nio's August vehicle delivery numbers. The strong demand and extended delivery times indicate a positive outlook for the company's sales in the coming months.
