Nio (NYSE: NIO) has started accepting customer orders for its 2024 model refreshes, except for the ET7 sedan, which will be updated slightly later.
Seven models -- the 2024 ES8, ES7, EC7, ES6, EC6, ET5, and ET5 Touring -- have begun allowing orders to be locked in, with no change in starting prices, Nio announced today.

Nio previously had eight models on sale -- ES8, ES7, ES6, EC7, EC6, ET7, ET5, ET5 Touring -- of which the first five are SUVs and the last three are sedans.
The 2024 ET7 will be released and begin allowing order lock-ins in April, Nio said.
Deliveries of the new ES8, EC7, ES6, EC6, and ET5 Touring will begin in March, the ET5 in April, and the ES7 in May.
The 2,023 models are still on sale, and the company is offering short-term purchase incentives for these cars, and those interested can inquire in stores, Nio said.
The updated 2024 Nio models will feature a new central computing platform, ADAM, powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon's fourth-generation cockpit chip, the SA8295P, Nio said.
Other key upgrades include:
2024 ES8:
Adds standard four soft headrests and offers silver as a new optional color.

A new standard rear seat massage feature and four soft headrests are added to enhance seating comfort.
The steering wheel area features new toggles, and the head-up display (HUD) is upgraded to 16 inches in size.

2024 EC7:
Adds standard 4 soft headrests.
2024 ES6 and EC6:
Through software optimization, the 2024 ES6 and EC6 equipped with a 75-kWh standard range battery pack and 20-inch wheels will see the CLTC range increase to 500 km and 505k m, respectively.
The 2023 models will also see a range increase via a software update.
