Nio ET9: which version to buy

The Nio ET9 catalogue lists one generation and one version. The only named specification is AT. There is no second engine, no second drive layout, and no restyling generation to weigh against the first. The buying question is not “which ET9 badge” but whether AT as measured here matches what you need, and which numbers in this file are real versus not measured.

The Nio ET9 catalogue lists one generation and one version. The only named specification is AT. There is no second engine, no second drive layout, and no restyling generation to weigh against the first. The buying question is not “which ET9 badge” but whether AT as measured here matches what you need, and which numbers in this file are real versus not measured.

Specs that decide the only version

AT is the sole row. It starts 2023-12-01 and has no stop date in the data, so it is the current and only listed specification of generation 1 generation. Body type is Sedan. Fuel and engine type are both Electro. Gearbox is Automatic with 1 speed. Drive is AWD. Output is 700 hp / 514 kW. Peak torque in Nm is not measured. Displacement is not measured. Cylinder count is not measured. Cylinder layout is not measured. Valves per cylinder is not measured. Boost is not measured. Engine placement is not measured. Fuel system is not measured. Compression ratio is not measured. Bore and stroke are not measured.

That list is the comparison table. Everything that would normally split buyers — petrol versus diesel, two-wheel versus all-wheel, a second gearbox, a second power figure under the same name — is absent because there is no second version. Two versions with the same name would be split by horsepower; here there is only one AT, and it is 700 hp.

Engine, gearbox, and drive: what extra money cannot buy in this file

With one version, “what the extra money buys” cannot be calculated against a cheaper ET9 in this dataset. The arithmetic that is allowed is internal to AT.

700 hp versus 514 kW is the same output written twice: 700 ÷ 514 ≈ 1.36 hp per kW. That ratio is not a second engine; it is unit conversion on the same row. Power per litre cannot be computed: displacement is not measured, so 700 hp cannot be divided by a litre figure without inventing one. Torque per litre is likewise impossible: moment_nm is not measured.

The gearbox is Automatic with 1 speed. There is no 2-speed, 8-speed, or manual alternative in the file. Choosing AT is choosing a single-ratio Automatic, not choosing among transmissions. Drive is AWD only. There is no FWD or RWD AT to subtract against. If you need a driveline other than AWD, this catalogue does not contain it under ET9.

Fuel is Electro. There is no gasoline or diesel AT. Range, battery kWh, and consumption in litres are not measured on this row (`rashod_gorod`, `rashod_trassa`, `rashod_smeshannyy` are all empty). You cannot rank AT on mpg or kWh/100 km from these numbers.

Performance and economy: measured versus not measured

0–100 for AT is not measured. Top speed is not measured. City, highway, and combined consumption are not measured. CO2 is not measured. Eco class is not measured. Tank capacity is not measured (expected for Electro, but the field is still empty and must be read as not measured, not as “no tank exists as a concept”).

A buyer comparing ET9 AT to another model using this file cannot claim a sprint time or a top speed. Those claims would be numbers that are not in the data. The only performance figures that exist for AT are 700 hp and 514 kW. Weight-to-power cannot be calculated: kerb weight is not measured, so kg per hp is undefined. Gross weight is not measured. Ground clearance is not measured. Wheel sizes are not measured.

What is specified on the chassis side: front suspension Independent, pneumatic; rear suspension Independent, pneumatic; front brakes Ventilated disc; rear brakes Disc ventilated (label as in the data). Both axles share the same suspension wording. Both axles are disc brakes with ventilation noted. There is no steel-spring AT and no non-ventilated-brake AT to prefer for cost.

Dimensions, weight, and clearance: no second row to prefer

Kerb weight: not measured. Gross weight: not measured. Ground clearance: not measured. Wheels: not measured. Tank: not measured.

You cannot pick a “lighter AT” or a “higher-clearance AT” because those fields do not split versions. Generation 1 generation has 1 modification. Restyling is not listed as a separate generation and must not be invented as one.

Generations: what changed, and what did not

There is 1 generation: 1 generation, Sedan, from 2023-12-01, still open (`stop` is null). It contains 1 version: AT.

No previous generation exists in the data to compare body type, power, or drive. You cannot say generation 2 added AWD or dropped a combustion engine: there is no generation 2. You cannot say a facelift added pneumatic suspension: there is no restyling block. The entire production window in this file is one Sedan specification.

The only time arithmetic across “eras” is possible is the start date itself: AT and 1 generation share 2023-12-01. The version did not arrive later than the generation in this dataset.

Which version to choose

Choose AT if you want the only Nio ET9 specification this catalogue records: Sedan, Electro, 700 hp / 514 kW, Automatic 1 speed, AWD, independent pneumatic suspension front and rear, ventilated discs front and Disc ventilated rear, in production from December 2023 with no end date listed.

Do not treat a second ET9 as listed if you are shopping from this file. There is no lower-hp AT, no higher-hp AT, and no other `mod_name`. Duplicate names distinguished by horsepower do not apply: one name, one power figure (700).

Walk away from a decision based on 0–100, top speed, mpg, weight, clearance, or wheels if those must come from this source: all of those are not measured for AT. A quote that cites a 0–100 time for this AT is not citing this dataset.

Walk away if you need a number of cylinders, a boost type, or a displacement to compare with a combustion rival using the same fields: those are not measured because the engine type is Electro, and the numeric cylinder and litre fields are empty.

Reliability, problems, and what this file cannot settle

Search interest around problems and reliability cannot be answered with failure rates, recall counts, or battery-degradation figures: none are in the data. The honest statement is that reliability and known problems are not measured here. Chassis labels (Independent, pneumatic twice, disc brakes on both axles) describe layout, not durability.

If that row is acceptable, AT is the version to buy because it is the only version. If any not measured cell is a deal-breaker for your comparison, this catalogue cannot rank a second ET9 to fill the gap.
