NIO to debut the ET5 Touring
CnEVPost suggests that NIO will launch the new ET5 Touring at the said event on June 15. Apparently, the model has often been spotted on European roads and in China for the past two months.
The established China-based publication also reported car blogger @肉肉爸比ev’s Weibo post yesterday, claiming that the model had been discreetly arriving in the automaker’s stores in China.
The Chinese blogger further asserted that the model would arrive at NIO’s showrooms tonight. Meanwhile, interested customers can apparently view it starting on June 10. However, @肉肉爸比ev did not provide any additional details.
In hindsight, the automaker already announced plans to launch the ET5 Touring variant in Europe, saying it is specially designed for the European market.

It is also interesting to note that NIO indicated the word “models” instead of just “model,” which hints at a possible debut of more than one EV model at the upcoming event.
That said, NIO may also introduce its new ES6 model to European customers alongside the new ET5 variant.
