The ET5's interior carries on NIO's design philosophy of "the second living room". The Clean+ sustainable fabric forms a relaxing cocooning ambiance, and improves the acoustic performance of the cabin. The instrument panel is visually neat and delicate thanks to the invisible air vents. Besides, entering and exiting will be at ease by virtue of the soft-close doors with frameless windows and flush door handles, and the UWB digital key and smart key.

The ET5 carries the PanoCinema digital cockpit powered by AR and VR technologies. Inside the cabin, a 10.2-inch HDR instrument cluster, the all-new 256-color curtain ambient lighting, Dolby Atmos 7.1.4 surround sound system, and other amenities will cooperate to offer users an exclusive space.

The ET5 can zip from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds. Thanks to NIO's self-developed 4-piston fixed calipers with aluminum casting, the model has a 100-0km/h braking distance of 33.9meters.
