The designer of the Onvo L60 is Onvo's head of global design, Raul Pires, who has more than 20 years of design experience with Volkswagen, designing several Bentley models.
Nio (NYSE: NIO) today shared the first official images of the L60, the first model from Onvo (Ledao in China), with its sub-brand a day away from launch.
CnEVPost obtained three images from the Nio team that show details of the Onvo L60's headlight and taillight design.
The designer of the Onvo L60 is Raul Pires, Onvo's vice president and head of global design, who has more than 20 years of design experience at the Volkswagen Group, designing a number of Bentley models, CnEVPost has learned.
Nio will officially launch the Onvo brand on May 15 at 7:30 pm Beijing time, when the event will be video-streamed live.
The Onvo L60 will take on the Tesla Model Y, aiming primarily at the family-centric smart all-electric vehicle market in the RMB 250,000 yuan ($34,540) class, Nio said earlier this month at a ceremony to roll out its 500,000th mass-produced vehicle.
The BOM (bill of materials) cost of Onvo's first model will be about 10 percent cheaper than that of Tesla's (NASDAQ: TSLA) Model Y, Nio founder, chairman and CEO William Li said previously.
Low energy consumption was a priority in the design of the Onvo L60, according to the Nio sub-brand's chief.
"We've prioritized low power consumption since Day 1," Onvo president Ai Tiecheng said in an interview with local media outlet 36kr, according to the text of the interview released yesterday.
For lower vehicle energy consumption, Nio founder, chairman, and CEO William Li vetoed a vehicle styling that had been around for six months, Ai said.
At the time, the Onvo team had a model styling design that everyone thought was stunning, but Li said he needed to use the Chinese New Year holiday to think about it, Ai said, adding that Li later rejected the design because of the sacrifice of vehicle range.
"Batteries cost a lot of money, and if we reduce the power consumption, then the range is longer and it saves the user money," Ai said.

Onvo L60的設計師是Onvo的全球設計主管Raul Pires，他在大衆汽車擁有20多年的設計經驗，設計了幾款賓利車型。
蔚來（紐約證券交易所代碼：NIO）今天分享了L60的首張官方圖片，這是Onvo（中國樂道）的首款車型，其子品牌距離發佈還有一天的時間。
CNEVPost從蔚來團隊那裏獲得了三張照片，顯示了樂道L60的大燈和尾燈設計的細節。
CNEVPost獲悉，樂道L60的設計師是樂道副總裁兼全球設計主管Raul Pires，他在大衆汽車集團擁有20多年的設計經驗，設計了許多賓利車型。
蔚來將於北京時間5月15日晚上 7:30 正式推出樂道品牌，屆時將進行視頻直播。
蔚來在本月早些時候舉行的第50萬輛量產汽車的推出儀式上表示，樂道L60將取代特斯拉Model Y，主要針對以家庭爲中心的智能全電動汽車市場，價格爲25萬元人民幣（合34,540美元）。
蔚來創始人、董事長兼首席執行官李斌此前表示，樂道首款車型的BOM（物料清單）成本將比特斯拉（納斯達克股票代碼：TSLA）的Model Y便宜約10％。
蔚來子品牌負責人表示，低能耗是樂道L60設計的重中之重。
根據昨天發佈的採訪文本，樂道總裁艾鐵成在接受當地媒體36kr採訪時說：“從第一天起，我們就優先考慮低功耗。”
艾說，爲了降低汽車能耗，蔚來創始人、董事長兼首席執行官李斌否決了已經存在六個月的汽車造型。
艾說，當時，樂道團隊的模型造型設計讓所有人都認爲令人驚歎，但李說，他需要利用春節假期來考慮這個問題，並補充說，李後來因爲犧牲了車輛續航里程而拒絕了這個設計。
艾說：“電池要花很多錢，如果我們降低功耗，那麼續航里程就會更長，可以爲用戶省錢。”
