Pre-sales kicked off on April 9 and were officially launched on Wednesday.

Chinese basketball legend Yao Ming was tapped as the variant’s official ambassador to represent the SUV to highlight its spaciousness and luxury.

The rally can also be partly attributed to portfolio positioning ahead of its May vehicle delivery update on Monday, June 1, supported by the strong delivery figures from the first four months of the year.

In April alone, vehicle deliveries jumped by 22.8 percent year-on-year, albeit at a slower pace than the 136 percent growth in March, 57.6 percent in February, and 96.1 percent in January.

In other news, NIO Inc. is set to hold an annual shareholders’ meeting in Beijing on June 24 (June 23 EST). Investors are expected to watch for business updates and the outlook for the rest of the year.
