Versatility and style come from the NIO smart electric tourer for Europe, the ET5 Touring. The company announces the launch of the ET5 Touring in Europe, where customers can take delivery of the car from late 2023.
Smart vehicle manufacturer, NIO, has designed the ET5 Touring with families in mind, offering versatility, space, and practicality to the sporting character of its sedan variant.
As an estate car, the ET5 has rivals from BMW with their 5 series PHEV, https://www.bmw.ca/en/all-models.html?detail=5_BMW-5-Series-PHEV

ET5 Touring is a pioneer for premium EV tourers in the region, offering users a dynamic EV alternative for today's active lifestyle. To cater to modern life's demands, NIO's design team has extended the pure, sleek roof lines of the ET5 to deliver 450 litres – with a further 42 litres underfloor – of trunk space. ET5 Touring's progressive aerodynamic (Cd0.25) design evolves the sedan's muscular haunches and sculpted IllumiBlade taillight with an integrated roof spoiler to blend pure coupe style with touring space.
Rear headroom is increased by 17mm over the ET5 sedan, with a competitive-in-class 895mm of rear legroom. ET5 Touring offers excellent functionality with 40:20:40 independent folding rear seats. When the rear seats are folded flat, the versatile load area increases significantly to offer 1,300 litres of total space. With an automatic tailgate opening sensor, trunk lip height of 699mm from the ground, and a fully-flat load space, ET5 Touring makes it easier to pack for a fun and active weekend away.
Quick and thoughtful solutions for secure storage include two magnetic load space straps to hang bags from, two convenient storage nets and a pair of hooks in the tailgate – ideal for hanging up wetsuits. Designed for active lives, ET5 Touring features easy-to-clean fabrics inside, a camping mode, and a portable load space flashlight which can be removed from its charging point in the trunk.
Other features include the heated wiper bay and panoramic sunroof, which brings the outside beauty to the cabin. Now 1.32m long, it offers a smart dimming option and protection from up to 99.99 per cent of harmful UV rays and 80 per cent isolation from heat. Black roof rails are standard, alongside ten sky-inspired exterior colours, four earth-themed interior hues, and four stylish 19" and 20" wheel designs.
