In terms of taillights, the high-mounted brake lights have also been lengthened, reaching 924mm, almost spanning the entire rear of the car, further improving visibility at night.

In terms of details, the new ES8 has also adopted many suggestions from NIO users and upgraded it in terms of humanization and intelligence. The optimized charging port can automatically open when the user picks up the corresponding charging connector, and the newly added NFC card key also makes travel smarter and more convenient.

In terms of interior, the new car's 9.8-inch instrument panel and 11.3-inch central control screen both adopt a narrow-edge screen design, which solves the problem of owners reporting on current models that the borders are too wide and affects the visual effect. At the same time, as the screen borders become narrower, The sense of refinement inside the car has been significantly improved compared to current models.

The eloquent NOMI Mate located on the center console has also been upgraded to version 2.0. Not only has the software been comprehensively upgraded, but its screen also uses the automotive industry's first AMOLED round screen, so that NOMI's expressions will be more refined.

The official claims that it has an acceleration time of 100 kilometers. It is 4.9 seconds, still in the ranks of the "four-second club".

In addition, the all-aluminum body, air suspension, Continental MC6 high-performance tires, and Brembo four-piston brake calipers will all appear on the new ES8. At the same time, the new car will also come standard with iBooster2.0 electronic power-assisted braking system and ESP9.3 body. The stability control system has a higher kinetic energy recovery efficiency than current models, and the braking distance from 100-0km/h is only 33.8 meters.

In terms of battery life, the new ES8 will provide three battery versions of 70kWh, 84kWh and 100kWh. The corresponding cruising ranges are 415km, 485km and 580km respectively. Compared with the current model, it has been greatly improved, thus also solving the problems of the old model. The shortcoming of the model is insufficient battery life.

On the other hand, the highly disruptive service guarantee and various solutions provided for electric vehicle travel have also been unanimously praised by all NIO users, and many of these policies have also been imitated by many traditional car manufacturers. However, with the development of electric vehicles, the current ES8 has been criticized for having a cruising range of only 355km or 425km. However, with the release of the new ES8, the cruising range of nearly 600km has made the ES8 the first among electric vehicles in terms of battery life. echelon.

In terms of competitors, when the ES8 was released that year, its only competitor in the field of pure electric SUVs was Tesla’s Model Electric products. In addition, the previous ES8 and ES6 were too homogeneous in terms of products and prices, resulting in a gradual decline in the sales of ES8. However, with the launch of the new ES8, we can see that NIO is gradually distinguishing the ES8 from the ES6. With the launch of the new product EC6, the positioning of the three models for consumers has gradually differentiated: the new ES8 will still bear the responsibility of the family The mission of the flagship model is mainly for higher-end user groups; while the ES6, as the most standard electric medium-sized SUV, assumes the task of increasing volume; the launch of the EC6 is naturally the best choice for some consumers who pay attention to personalization and pursue sports. choose.
