The new Nio ES8 features the brand’s latest design language. The iconic “Double Dash” daytime running lights have been upgraded to a two-tier design. They also support three different welcome lighting effects. The car also comes with HDPL intelligent high-definition projection headlights and Smart Light Carpet 2.0. These enable features like trajectory lights, lane change lights, and lane departure indicators.

The new ES8 will be available in two new colors: Extreme Night Black and Starry Gray. Starry Gray is exclusive to the new ES8. Other color options include Antarctic Blue, Star Green, Dawn Gold, and Cloud White.

In terms of size, the new ES8 is 5280mm long, 2010mm wide, and 1800mm high. It has a 3130mm wheelbase. Compared to the 2024 model, the new ES8 is 181mm longer, 21mm wider, and 50mm taller. The wheelbase is 60mm longer. The vehicle’s classification will upgrade from a mid-to-large-size SUV to a large SUV. The car’s lower window line has a straight design. It uses flush door handles. At the rear, there is a through-type light strip with 600 LEDs and 480 SuperRed ultra-red LED particles. It is accented with high-gloss satin trim and brushed metal.

Advanced Technology and Interior

The new ES8 continues to feature a roof-mounted LiDAR unit. Additionally, it now has a wide-angle LiDAR on each front fender. It will also be equipped with 4D imaging radar, dual front-facing cameras, side cameras, and corner cameras. Its driver assistance hardware is on par with the Nio ET9. It will be powered by Nio’s self-developed Shenji NX9031 driver assistance chip and apply Nio’s World Model (NWM).

Inside, the new ES8 has big changes. It features a 48-inch Skyline display and a 16.4-inch AMOLED central screen. It also provides a 38-inch AR-HUD head-up display system with blind spot notifications. The car uses a three-spoke steering wheel and a column-mounted shifter. The center console offers dual wireless phone charging pads. It also has haptic ceramic micro-switches. The new ES8 is available in four interior color schemes: Redwood Red, Mountain Blue, Pamir Brown, and Pearl White.

Seating and Powertrain

The new ES8 offers a 2+2+2式6-seat and a 2+3+2式7-seat layout. All seats support heating. The second-row right-side seat also includes leg rest heating. The first two rows of seats support ventilation. In the 7-seat version, however, only the two outer seats in the second row have this feature. The 6-seat model comes with three zero-gravity seats. These include the front passenger seat and two in the second row. The front passenger’s seatback reclines up to 151 degrees. The second-row seats also recline to 151 degrees. The second-row right-side zero-gravity seat can also move horizontally by 150mm.

For power, the new ES8 uses an all-domain 900V architecture. It’s equipped with the same front and rear drive motors as the Nio ET9. They have a combined system output of 520 kW and 700 Nm of torque. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.97 seconds. The vehicle comes standard with a 100 kWh battery pack. This gives it a CLTC range of 635 km. It supports a maximum charging power of 600 kW. The new ES8 also has dual-chamber air suspension. It has a vertical adjustment range of -50mm to 50mm.

Market Competition and Outlook

With its upgrade to a large SUV, the new Nio ES8 will compete with models like the AITO M8 EV (starting at ¥359,800) and the AITO M9 EV (starting at ¥509,800). The Li Auto L9 (starting at ¥409,800) is an extended-range large SUV. It will also be a potential competitor. According to sales data, the Nio ES8’s sales in August were 77 units. This was because the previous model was discontinued.
