Nio Onvo launches L90 Black Knight Edition, limited to 999 units

The limited edition launch of the new Onvo L90

The Nio Onvo sub-brand released an exceptional electric SUV called the L90 Black Knight Edition. It was first unveiled to the public at the 2025 Guangzhou Auto Show. This car is a limited edition, with only 999 units ever to be made for customers.

The starting price for this rare vehicle is 306,800 yuan, including the battery. Deliveries for these special vehicles are set to begin in early December. The exhibition runs from Nov. 21 to 30.

The battery-as-a-service plan helps lower cost

Building on the launch information, the L90 Black Knight Edition uses a Battery as a Service (BaaS) option to lower the price. With the BaaS plan, the car’s cost drops to 220,800 yuan (around $31,060).

Customers pay a separate monthly fee of 899 yuan for the battery. The standard battery pack offered is an 85 kWh unit. The electric SUV is built on NIO’s advanced 900-volt high-voltage platform. The BaaS plan makes the vehicle much more competitive in the full-size SUV market.

Big size and design built for family travel

Regarding cost, the L90 is a large SUV with dimensions designed to maximize interior space. It measures 5,145 millimeters in length and 1,998 millimeters in width.

The vehicle stands about 1,786 millimeters tall. The distance between the front and rear wheels is a long 3,110 millimeters. The car uses a five-door design. This long wheelbase contributes to what Onvo describes as best-in-class cabin spatial efficiency.

Power and performance of the dual-motor system

Because it is the Black Knight Edition, it comes standard with a powerful dual-motor all-wheel-drive system. The system has a high total power output of 440 kilowatts (kW).

This power allows the L90 to accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in just 4.7 seconds. The rear motor supplies 340 kW of power. The front motor adds an extra 100 kW of power. The SUV has a maximum speed of 200 km/h.

Range and efficiency help for long road trips

Even with its powerful motors, the L90 is designed to be highly energy-efficient for family trips. The all-wheel-drive version, equipped with an 85 kWh battery, has a range of up to 570 kilometers (CLTC rating). The rear-wheel-drive version can travel up to 605 kilometers on a charge.

The four-wheel drive version consumes 15.4 kWh of energy per 100 kilometers. The two-wheel drive version consumes 14.5 kWh per 100 kilometers. The fast-charging system can recharge the battery from 10% to 80% in approximately 25 minutes.

A look at the large front and rear storage space

Because this SUV is built for families, storage is a prominent feature, including a massive front trunk (frunk). The large frunk holds 240 liters of storage, enough to easily hold two 20-inch suitcases.

The rear trunk offers 430 liters of usable space, even when the third row of seats is in the upright position. The rear trunk includes 106 liters of concealed underfloor storage. This massive storage capacity is due to the car’s dedicated electric platform.

Driver screens and innovative technology inside the car

Moving into the cabin, the driver sees a 35-inch AR-HUD, which serves as the instrument cluster, replacing traditional gauges. A large 17.2-inch 3K central display handles all the controls and information.

The high-tech Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295P cockpit chip powers the system. Rear passengers also have their own 17.3-inch 3K ceiling-mounted screen for entertainment. The L90 runs on Onvo’s Coconut 2.0.0 software, featuring 24GB of RAM.

Sound system and premium cabin details

For an enjoyable experience, the car features a high-quality sound system named ONVO Sound Premium. This audio system features 23 speakers and a powerful 2,048-watt amplifier.

This speaker setup delivers a 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos surround sound experience for everyone in the car. The cabin includes an 8.86-liter refrigerated compartment. For a quiet ride, the vehicle uses 4.96 mm acoustic laminated glass.

Cabin seating and comfort for six passengers

The seating arrangements further enhance the comfort. The Black Knight Edition features a six-seat interior layout, arranged in a 2-2-2 configuration across the three rows.

Every seat in the first and second rows comes standard with heating, ventilation, and massage functions. The right-side second-row zero-gravity seat offers 10-way power adjustment. The seats use a special 13-layer comfort structure.

Special features of the Black Knight Edition

In addition to the standard features, the Black Knight Edition offers exclusive extras. It comes standard with power side steps to help passengers easily get in and out of the high SUV.

It also features exclusive 21-inch alloy wheels with a unique black look. All the badges on the car are blacked out for a sleek, limited-edition theme. These added options have a combined value of 54,000 yuan. The special edition is 15.43% more expensive than the regular model.

Chassis and suspension technology for a smooth ride

The excellent ride quality relies on advanced engineering, which focuses on comfort. The suspension features a double-wishbone independent front suspension. The rear axle uses a multi-link independent rear suspension.

The vehicle comes standard with an intelligent air suspension system that is adjustable over a range of 100 mm. The system also uses hydraulic bushings at the front and rear suspension. This setup offers 10 different driving modes for various road conditions.

It also uses seven 4K cameras to gather driving information. The car’s strong body features a steel-aluminum hybrid structure, comprising 84% high-strength materials. All models come standard with nine airbags, including a far-side center airbag.
