Recently, a mysterious test car of the Weilai sub-brand has sparked heated discussions on the Internet. The slogan "Better than Edamame Y" was posted on the rear window of the car, which aroused the curiosity of many netizens. After investigation, it was confirmed that this car will be the first model of Alpine, a new sub-brand of NIO, positioned as a pure electric coupe SUV. This news has made people full of expectations for this new car, and also triggered more speculations about its design and performance. As the electric vehicle market continues to grow, NIO's new models will undoubtedly attract more consumers' attention. It is expected that this Alpine's first model will bring new market opportunities to the NIO brand and inject new vitality into the company's development in the field of electric vehicles.

With the exposure of this car, some bloggers used AI technology to draw renderings of the actual car and shared them with the car’s R&D team. The senior management expressed "amazing" after seeing it. According to the renderings, the rear design style of the new car is similar to that of previous NIO models, highlighting the brand's unique design style.

Regarding the front face design, it has not yet been announced, but according to the editor’s understanding, it is expected to continue the NIO family design style while incorporating more innovative elements. According to previous reports, Alpine's first model "DOM" (internal code name) is scheduled to enter the trial production stage in July this year, and is expected to be officially mass-produced and delivered in the second half of the year. If all goes well, consumers are expected to receive delivery of this new car in October this year.

NIO has high expectations for the Alpine brand and has set ambitious market goals. It is reported that all Alpine models will be developed based on NIO's third-generation technology platform NT3, mainly targeting the new energy vehicle market in the price range of 200,000-300,000 yuan. The first model, DOM, directly competes with the popular Tesla Model Y on the market. In addition, Alpine also plans to launch two other models in the future to meet the needs of more consumers.

In terms of battery technology, this car is planned to have two versions of approximately 60kWh and 90kWh. By adopting a thinner battery pack design, the space inside the car will be further optimized. At the same time, the new car will also be compatible with NIO’s third-generation battery swap station, providing users with a more convenient charging experience. In terms of power system, the new car will be equipped with a new generation motor developed by NIO and equipped with advanced technologies such as 4D millimeter wave radar to improve vehicle performance and driving assistance capabilities.
