NIO ET7 awarded the GOLDEN STEERING WHEEL 2022 November 2022, Berlin – NIO was awarded the internationally coveted Golden Steering Wheel award, winning the ‘Medium and Upper Class’ category with its smart electric flagship sedan, NIO ET7. Ralph Kranz, General Manager of NIO Germany, received the prestigious award from Tom Drechsler, Editor-in-Chief of AUTO BILD, at the official award ceremony held at the Axel Springer House in Berlin. William Li, NIO’s Founder, Chairman and CEO, addressed the invited guests and jury, thanking them and the readers for their support. Since 1976 BILD am SONNTAG and since 2009, AUTO BILD, have awarded the Golden Steering Wheel to the best new cars. Winning the award is considered to be the most important honor in the German automotive industry. Its combination of votes from both readers and an expert jury makes the Golden Steering Wheel a coveted prize for all manufacturers. This year, 47 cars across 11 categories were selected with just three finalists from each category going on to be assessed through a series of rigorous tests by the expert jury at the Lausitzring track. NIO’s success marked the first time that a manufacturer has won such an award just weeks after its market launch. “The NIO ET7 surprised - and convinced - virtually everyone on the Golden Steering Wheel jury,” says Tom Drechsler. “Good seats, fine haptics, top-notch overall performance and NOMI is amazing. It can both glide effortlessly and also deliver high performance thanks to the unexpectedly wide range of driving modes available.”
