When BBA started the domestic production of medium and large luxury SUVs, for a long time, there were high-end new forces that maintained continuous growth and began to update and speed up to cope with the changes in the market pattern. Among all the high-end intelligent electric medium and large SUVs developed by China's new energy, NIO ES8 is the earliest and more representative model, and the BMW X5, which has completed the extension of the wheelbase, has a similar positioning. Then, if you buy a car at a similar naked car price, you will choose a guide price of 61The 500,000 yuan 2023 BMW X5 Xdrive 30LI M sports package model still chooses the guide price of 59What about the 800,000 yuan 2023 NIO ES8 100kWh Signature Edition?
