A revamped version of the Nio ET7 is expected to be optimized for exterior and interior details and will likely be unveiled during the Shanghai auto show, according to a local media report.

The Nio ET7, the company's first sedan, was launched at the Nio Day 2020 event on January 9, 2021, with deliveries beginning March 28, 2022.

In April 2022, the ET7's first full month of delivery, the sedan was ranked No. 10 on the China Passenger Car Association's (CPCA) list of premium sedans with a starting price above RMB 300,000 ($43,570) with 693 units sold at retail.

With increased capacity, ET7 sales continued to grow after deliveries began and reached a monthly high of 4,349 units in June 2022.

Deliveries of the ET7 remained around 3,000 units per month for the vast majority of the second half of last year, but the figures slipped to 1,379 units in December, missing the CPCA's top-tier sedan sales ranking for the first time.

In January and February of this year, Nio ET7 deliveries slipped further to 521 and 649 units respectively, according to data from the CPCA monitored by CnEVPost.

On March 1, when asked on an earnings call whether the ET7 would have a revamped version this year, William Li, Nio's founder, chairman, and CEO, did not give a positive answer but said that the company had been working on the product iterations and improvements and that it would communicate in a timely manner.

Long-time Nio follower @肉肉爸比ev hinted on March 10 on Weibo that a revamped version of the ET7 is not far from launch.

On March 13, the Nio App stopped showing the expected delivery time for the ET7, previously the wait time for the model was about 3 weeks.
