The Nio ET5 Touring wagon, which debuted last summer, was designed with Europe in mind, but has so far collected the cream of the crop in China, becoming Nio's second most popular model after the ES6 crossover. The Nio ET5 Touring does not yet have direct competitors either in China or in Europe, but the Neta EP41 station wagon will appear soon, the commercial name of which has not yet been announced, sales start is scheduled for this summer.

The abbreviation NEV stands for New Energy Vehicle, and it combines electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids and hydrogen vehicles. Hozon Auto operates under the Neta brand; last year it sold 127,496 cars in China, which is 16.16% less than sales in 2022 — the drop is due to the price war in the Chinese market.

In the “base”, the station wagon will cost less than 300,000 yuan (3.7 million rubles translated at the current exchange rate), that is, approximately at the level of the Nio ET5 Touring.
