What suspension system does the NIO ES8 use?
2 Answers
The NIO ES8 features a double-wishbone independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear. Below is more information about the NIO ES8: 1. The NIO ES8 is a mid-to-large-sized pure electric luxury SUV under the NIO brand. 2. The NIO ES8 is a dual-motor model, with two variants offering different horsepower outputs. 3. Both double-wishbone and multi-link suspensions are common types of independent suspension systems in automobiles. 4. Independent suspensions are not connected in the middle, meaning there is no interference between the two wheels on the same axle when using this type of suspension.
The NIO ES8 is equipped with an air suspension system, which is quite advanced. It uses computer-controlled air springs to adjust the vehicle's height and stiffness. Driving it daily is incredibly smooth. For instance, when I often drive to the countryside and encounter bumpy roads, I can raise the vehicle height to avoid scraping the undercarriage. In the city, lowering the body not only looks stylish but also improves fuel efficiency. As an electric vehicle, the ES8 is already quiet, and with the shock absorption from the air suspension, driving feels like gliding on clouds. A friend of mine who owns one mentioned that you can even customize the settings on the central control screen to find the most comfortable state. However, maintenance requires extra attention, as the air pump is prone to aging. It's recommended to check the seals every two to three years. Overall, this technology enhances the vehicle's luxury feel and practicality, and the comfort experience is a major reason for buying it.
