Although the domestic new energy track is full of opportunities, it is also facing challenges, on the one hand, the traditional car companies in transition, and on the other hand, the new car-making forces that have emerged at the right time, and the competition between the "new and old" can be described as very fierce. The older generation may trust traditional brands more, while younger people will be more willing to try the new car-making forces represented by "Wei Xiaoli", especially some mid-to-high-end models with rich intelligent configuration and appearance technology, such as NIO's first production car, NIO ES8. If you have to say that there is anything bad about NIO ES8, it may be **, after all, the starting price has reached 49800,000 yuan, and the top configuration requires 59800,000 yuan, compared with luxury brands such as BMW, Audi and Mercedes-Benz, it is not far behind. So what is the strength of the NIO ES8?Let's take a look.
The NIO ES8 is positioned as a medium and large SUV, and there are currently 5 models on sale, with a body measurement of 5099 1989 1750mm and a wheelbase of 3070mm. The whole series adopts a large six-seat layout of 2+2+2, and compared with the previous generation of 7-seater models, the new NIO ES8 will be more comfortable in terms of driving space. The seat is wrapped in Nappa leather, which not only shows the class, but also gives the user full support for the legs and lumbar. It is worth mentioning that NIO ES8 not only has ventilation, heating, massage and memory functions for the front seats, but also the rear seats can also enjoy these treatments, which row is first class.
After all, it is a replacement model, so the overall appearance of the NIO ES8 still has the shadow of the previous generation, but it should be more atmospheric in terms of visual presentation. The front face uses a fully enclosed grille design, but the air intakes are retained at the position of the front bumper to dissipate heat from the vehicle. The daytime running lights on both sides are chic, like dashes, and are paired with intelligent multi-beam LED headlights that are positioned downward, giving people a visual look and feel of a futuristic species. The side of the body of the NIO ES8 is simplified, and the redundant lines are abandoned, and the slender and dynamic body surface is outlined with just a few strokes. Although the front face is not equipped with a continuous light strip, the continuous LED tail lights are not absent.
Entering the car, the interior atmosphere of the NIO ES8 is simple and stylish, without using too many design elements, and canceling some traditional physical buttons, and the main functions in the car are integrated in 128-inch floating center console as well as 102-inch full LCD gauge. In addition to the traditional dual screen, the NIO ES8 also offers 16A new 3-inch AR-HUD makes it easier for users to view vehicle information more securely while driving.
As a high-end pure electric SUV, the NIO ES8's assisted driving system is also remarkable. The vehicle is equipped with 11 exterior cameras, 2 interior cameras, 12 ultrasonic radars, 5 millimeter-wave radars and 1 lidar as standard.
It is worth mentioning that all NIO ES8 models are equipped with air suspension as standard, which can bring better chassis texture when driving, so as to adapt to different road conditions. In addition, the NIO ES8 also has five driving modes, even in the icy winter, you can easily switch to snow mode, so you don't have to worry about the vehicle skidding.
Finally, let's take a look at the dynamics. NIO ES8 uses a front+rear dual-motor layout, which can burst out a maximum of 653 horsepower and 850 Nm of torque, and for an SUV model weighing 3 tons, its official acceleration time to 100 kilometers is only 41 second, so whether you want to drive daily or want to feel the ultimate acceleration experience, NIO ES8 can do it. Moreover, NIO ES8 also provides a battery swap service, and consumers can choose to replace charging by battery swapping. The maximum cruising range of 605 kilometers is combined with the battery management system to ensure the stability of the range.
It is not difficult to see from the pricing of NIO ES8 that NIO wants to enter the mid-to-high-end market, but the ES8 has to face competitors not only new energy models of the same level, but also fuel vehicles under luxury brands such as BBA to seize the market. Looking back at the sales data of NIO ES8 in recent months, its monthly deliveries have been maintained at about 2000 units, although it is inconspicuous, but combined with its price, it is still quite golden, and if the budget allows, you may be able to experience NIO ES8.
