What You'll Experience

Shanghai is the global headquarters of the EV revolution — the city that hosts the world's largest auto show, where NIO has built a glass-and-steel concept store on the ground floor of the city's most iconic skyscraper, where the taxi fleet has been electric for years and the subway is powered by regenerative braking. The NIO House on Century Avenue is the definitive venue for understanding what a car brand can become when it reimagines itself as a lifestyle institution: co-working space, library, barista, and then — almost as an afterthought — cars you can sit in and, if your companion arranges it, drive. You'll experience the ET5's one-pedal driving mode, the panoramic glass roof, and the seamlessly integrated cockpit that manages phone, navigation, climate, and cabin ambiance through a single gesture interface. The drive itself is approximately 15 minutes on a closed route. The context your companion provides makes it 90.

Highlights

  • Test drive the NIO ET5 at NIO House Shanghai Center — the world's most architecturally remarkable EV showroom
  • Experience one-pedal driving, regenerative braking, and the integrated NIO cockpit system
  • Tour the NIO House: co-working space, library, café, and battery swap station
  • Learn NIO's business model — the first company to separate car ownership from battery ownership
  • Explore the possibility of joining NIO's battery-as-a-service subscription for future China visits

  • Test drive arranged by companion (NIO ET5 or alternate model by availability)
  • Full NIO House tour
  • Companion throughout for translation and context
  • Coffee at the NIO House café included

Why Book with iGo2China

NIO House is open to anyone — but foreign visitors can't independently arrange test drives without a Chinese contact number and account. Your companion handles the booking and provides the product context that makes the drive more than a drive. They also know which questions to ask that get honest answers about range, charging infrastructure, and what it's actually like to own a Chinese EV.
