NIO ES6 hits market at NIO Day 2018, priced from RMB358,000 without subsidies

Shanghai (Gasgoo)- The NIO ES6, the second model developed by Chinese EV startup NIO, officially hit the market at the NIO Day 2018 on December 15, which is priced from RMB358,000 to RMB548,000 without subsidies. Meanwhile, the price will be reduced by RMB100,000 if users decide to rent the battery pack, paying RMB1,660 per month for the rental.

The ES6 displays a close resemblance of the NIO ES8, while the more compact size and many nuances make it look somewhat sharper. There are 7 colors of car body offered to consumers, namely, sky blue, cloud white, stratosphere blue, mars red, misty green, star gray and deep black. Nebula violet, the NIO Color 2019, will be available for delivery at the same time. The new model is planned to be handed over from June next year.

The ES6 measures 4,850mm long and 1,965mm wide with a wheelbase length of 2,900mm, which offers a dynamic and comfortable mobile living space. The vehicle uses microfiber suede car roof for the first time. Featuring the three-spoke sports steering wheel and one-piece sports seat, it creates a driving space with enduring stamina, said the startup.

The ES6 is the world's first SUV that uses an electric all-wheel driving system consisting of a PM motor and an IM Motor. The 160kW PM motor is responsible for medium and low speed daily driving while 240kW induction motors offers great acceleration performance and high speed, producing up to 15,000 rpm per minute. With an optional new 84kWh LC battery pack, the new SUV can show a NEDC-rated range up to 510km. It only takes 4.7 seconds for it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h.

The ES6 is still equipped with the NOMI in-car AI system that brings music, services, software, and hardware together.
