NIO’s ONVO brand introduces the L60 SUV, powered by NVIDIA DRIVE Orin, boasting advanced AI-driven features and innovative design.





NIO’s smart EV brand, ONVO, has launched the L60 flagship mid-size family SUV, which is built on the NVIDIA DRIVE Orin system-on-a-chip, according to the NVIDIA Blog.

Innovative Technology Integration

Earlier this year, the automaker introduced the ONVO brand — which stands for On Voyage — to emphasize its commitment to safer, smarter, and more affordable mobility solutions for mainstream families. The NVIDIA DRIVE Orin serves as the AI brain of ONVO’s smart-driving system, known as OSD, delivering up to 254 trillion operations per second of high-performance compute. This system allows for diverse and redundant processing of sensor data from the L60’s vision-based sensor suite, which includes high-definition cameras and 4D radar with extensive detection ranges.

The automotive-grade NVIDIA DRIVE Orin runs on NVIDIA DriveOS, an operating system designed for safe, AI-defined vehicles. It is widely used by leading global automakers, including in NIO’s ET7 sedan and its ET5 and ES7 models. The platform supports highly automated driver assistance and autonomous driving systems, along with other features that can be updated via over-the-air software updates.

Bold Design Built to Go the Distance

The ONVO L60 embodies NIO’s commitment to innovative design and user-centric features, blending sleek style with cutting-edge technology. The L60 was developed to elevate driving experiences by incorporating six critical features: comprehensive safety, spacious comfort, smart cabins with immersive digital experiences, impressive mileage range with convenient recharging, superior ride and handling, and advanced assisted driving capabilities.

The L60 base model, priced at approximately ¥149,900 yuan (around $21,000), comes without a battery, allowing users to opt for NIO’s battery-as-a-service option, which is utilized by 70% of NIO customers. ONVO vehicles are compatible with NIO’s battery swap network, which includes more than 2,500 Power Swap Stations and is expected to continue expanding throughout China.

The launch of the ONVO L60 marks the latest milestone in NIO and NVIDIA’s decade-long collaboration. With the integration of NVIDIA DRIVE, the ONVO L60 is poised to deliver an advanced driving experience at an affordable price.
