Nio, a new and growing premium smart electric carmaker from China, has officially opened the doors to its first NIO House in the MENA region in Abu Dhabi. The new Nio House showroom, situated within The Galleria Al Maryah Island, was inaugurated by His Highness Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan post which His Excellency Jassem Mohamed Bu Ataba Al Zaabi, Chairman of CYVN Holdings, accompanied His Highness on a tour of the facility.
The new NIO House is a 970-square-meter hub for NIO’s user community featuring a cafe, lounge area, customisation and consultation rooms and event spaces where the brand showcases its pioneering technologies. Inspired by the region, NIO Café serves two exclusive drinks: the “Golden Saffron Latte” and the refreshing “Saffron Rose Refresher.”
