How to Get a 128,000 Yuan Discount When Buying a NIO Car?

Buy the car without purchasing the battery. Below is an introduction to the NIO ES6: 1. Exterior: The ES6 is a brand-new model, essentially a scaled-down version of the ES8. It features the same family-style front fascia, body side lines, floating roof design, and similar rear styling, all with split headlight clusters. However, there are some differences in details. For example, the ES6's front face eliminates the large chrome accents, adopts a single-side two-light cluster, and has a smaller grille. Despite these changes, the overall resemblance to the ES8 remains high, with a visually striking appearance, though the overall presence is slightly less imposing than the ES8. 2. Interior: The dashboard layout is similarly close, with over 90% similarity between the ES6 and ES8 interiors. The continuous air vents, 8.8-inch digital instrument cluster, and button layouts are very alike. However, the ES6's central touchscreen is upgraded from the ES8's 10.4 inches to 11.3 inches, giving it a more premium look. Other details, such as the air vent design, three-spoke steering wheel, and multifunction button layouts, differ slightly. Of course, the new car's dashboard is generously wrapped in soft materials, and all models come standard with leather seats, ensuring excellent quality. 3. Performance: The ES6 comes in a base version and a performance version. The ES6 is sold through a personalized customization and build-to-order model.

I recently researched NIO's method of saving 128,000 yuan when purchasing a car and found that it is mainly achieved through the battery rental plan. After choosing the BaaS model, the car price is immediately reduced by 70,000 to 128,000 yuan. For example, buying an ES6 originally priced at 338,000 yuan becomes 210,000 yuan with battery rental. This price difference exactly matches the amount you mentioned. However, it's important to note that renting the battery requires a monthly payment of 980 yuan, which is equivalent to installment payments for the battery. I recommend combining it with the trade-in subsidy for better value. Selling your old car to NIO's renewable resource company can fetch an additional 20,000 yuan subsidy. This way, the total discount can exceed 140,000 yuan, and you don't have to handle the transfer yourself. Now, the trade-in evaluation can be done directly on the app, making it especially suitable for those who prefer asset-light car usage.

To save 128,000, you can consider the BaaS plus financial package. When I chose the ET5, I used battery leasing to reduce the price by 128,000, bringing the car price down from 328,000 to 200,000. Then, I took advantage of their interest-free installment plan with just a 30% down payment. The key is to purchase during local subsidy periods—for example, Hangzhou had a new energy subsidy in March, saving another 10,000. Don’t forget to use a referral code from an existing owner, which gives you 2,000 points redeemable for 2,000 cash. This way, the actual payment is even lower. However, keep in mind that battery rental fees must be paid continuously, making it suitable for those with stable monthly income. If you plan to change cars after five years, this option offers more flexibility than buying out the battery.

Saving 128,000 yuan most directly comes from battery leasing. NIO adjusts the leasing discounts based on different models, with the new ES8 offering up to 128,000 yuan in savings. This essentially equates to separating the car from the battery, reducing the price of the car frame. Although you'll need to pay a monthly battery rental fee, the money saved on the down payment can be more wisely used for financial management or investments. Last time, my friend combined this with Beijing's new energy vehicle subsidy and received an additional 30,000 yuan in discounts. At delivery, they also offered free charging pile installation service, saving another 6,000 yuan. It's recommended to test drive first to confirm the model, as subsidy amounts vary across different vehicle series.

I've studied this promotion, and the core is the battery leasing policy. Choosing the BaaS model automatically reduces the price by 128,000, but requires monthly rental payments afterward. It's best to combine three techniques: first, use the trade-in subsidy, with used gasoline cars eligible for up to 30,000 off; second, visit newly opened experience stores, which often offer 3,000 charging cards; third, enter an existing owner's referral code during registration to redeem points for car accessories. The actual process is very simple: select battery leasing on the app's order page, and the system will automatically deduct the amount. After picking up the car, you'll receive the leasing agreement, sign it on your phone to activate, and the whole process takes just half an hour.

NIO's 128,000 yuan discount is actually a battery rental deduction mechanism. When I purchased the EC6, I opted for the BaaS plan, and the car price dropped from 396,000 yuan to 268,000 yuan. The specific process is very transparent: select the battery rental option on the official website when choosing the car, and the system immediately shows the reduced amount. After paying the down payment, you need to sign an electronic rental contract, with a refundable deposit of 2,000 yuan. Currently, renting a 100 kWh battery costs 1,680 yuan per month. Over three years, this works out to over 30,000 yuan in savings compared to buying the battery outright. This is ideal for those who frequently change cars, and it's especially recommended to pair it with NIO's BaaS flexible upgrade option—switching to a smaller battery in winter can save even more on rental costs.
