What are the differences between EC6 and ES6?
2 Answers
The differences between EC6 and ES6 are: 1. Different pure electric range: The NIO EC6 has a MIIT pure electric range of 430km; the NIO ES6 has a MIIT pure electric range of 420km. 2. Different sunroof types: The NIO EC6 has a non-openable panoramic sunroof, while the NIO ES6 has an openable panoramic sunroof. Taking the 2020 NIO ES6 as an example, it belongs to the mid-size SUV category, with body dimensions of: length 4850mm, width 1965mm, height 1731mm, and a wheelbase of 2900mm. The front suspension is a double-wishbone independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension.
I've driven the EC6 and ES6 several times, and the biggest differences I noticed are in the exterior design and practicality. The EC6 is a coupe SUV with a sleek, sloping roofline that looks incredibly sporty and cool, plus it has a slightly lower drag coefficient, making it more eye-catching on the road. However, the rear headroom is more cramped, and taller passengers in the back might have to slouch. The ES6 has a conventional SUV shape—boxy and practical—with more spacious rear seating and a larger trunk, making it more convenient for family trips or carrying luggage. In terms of powertrain, both are electric vehicles with similar battery specs, achieving 0-100 km/h in just over four seconds, so they feel equally powerful with no major differences. I love the trendy design of the EC6, but the ES6 is more practical for daily use. Additionally, interior details like seat materials and screen options are usually consistent across NIO models, so they don’t affect customization choices.
