What is the ES8?
3 Answers
ES8 is a brand under NIO. Here is more information about the NIO ES8: 1. The body dimensions of the NIO ES8 are 5022 mm in length, 1962 mm in width, and 1756 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3010 mm, providing a very spacious interior. 2. The NIO ES8 is a dual-motor model, with one motor on the front axle and another on the rear axle. The front motor has a maximum power of 240 kW and a maximum torque of 420 Nm, while the rear motor also has a maximum power of 240 kW and a maximum torque of 420 Nm. 3. The NIO ES8 uses a ternary lithium battery, which is commonly used in most pure electric vehicles. Ternary lithium batteries have a higher energy density and are lighter in weight.
I've been driving the ES8 for almost two years now, and it's truly a benchmark for domestic premium electric vehicles. As NIO's flagship SUV series positioned in the high-end market, it measures over 5 meters in length and comes standard with a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system. The acceleration is particularly impressive, going from 0 to 100 km/h in just about 4 seconds. What surprised me most is its intelligent features, like the NOMI voice assistant that can converse with me in real-time and even recognize the positions of passengers inside the car. The space design is very user-friendly, with independent second-row seats and foldable third-row seats that can accommodate all our family camping gear. I often take my family on long trips - the 100 kWh battery provides a real-world range of 400 km, and the five-minute battery swap at highway service stations completely eliminates range anxiety. However, the vehicle's large size does require extra caution when making turns in narrow alleys.
Recently, I had an in-depth test drive of the ES8, and it completely changed my perception of domestic new energy vehicles. As the flagship model of the NIO brand, the ES8 not only matches the BMW X5 in terms of body size but also comes standard with air suspension and CDC dynamic damping adjustment, making bumpy roads feel very comfortable. Its 'Queen's Seat' is particularly suitable for family users, featuring leg support and heating/ventilation functions. In terms of intelligent driving, it is quite advanced, currently supporting highway NOP for automatic overtaking and lane changes. I heard that by the end of the year, OTA updates will enable urban road assistance. The space is indeed impressive; I went on a trip with three friends, and after loading four suitcases into the trunk, there was still room to spare. The only downside is that the automatic doors sometimes overreact to obstacles, requiring manual operation in narrow parking spaces in underground garages.
