NIO released the new 2020 ES8 on NIO DAY 2019 on December 28th. The starting price before subsidies is 468,000 yuan. The new NIO ES8 adds a new 100kWh liquid-cooled constant-temperature battery pack, with a maximum cruising range of 580 kilometers, acceleration from 0 to 100 kilometers in 4.9 seconds, and a wheelbase of 3010mm. The new ES8 has been upgraded and optimized in all aspects of appearance, interior, power, battery life, smart technology and other aspects.
Compared with the old models, the price of the new Weilai ES8 series has increased by RMB 20,000. Although the appearance has changed little, there have been upgrades and improvements of more than RMB 20,000 in configuration and battery life. Today, we have compiled the main upgrade contents of the new NIO ES8 for everyone to facilitate readers to have a basic understanding.
The appearance has changed very little
There are three parts that distinguish the old and new models in terms of appearance. The first is the new "X-Bar" design on the front face, and the second is the rear The more slender high-mounted brake light, and the third one is the short red line below the es8 LOGO.
Upgraded interior materials
Narrower bezels for instruments and large central control screens keep up with the trend, which greatly enhances the sense of technology and luxury inside the vehicle. Microfiber ?The superfiber ceiling also greatly improves the touch and look of the interior to a high level. What is unexpected is that even NOMI’s screen material has been optimized, using an AMOLED screen that has never been used by car manufacturers, making it look and feel purer at night.
The performance is outrageous
The new Weilai ES8 uses a front 160kW high-efficiency permanent magnet motor + a rear 240kW high-performance induction motor. Compared with the old model, it sacrifices a lot of energy. The acceleration performance is negligible, but it achieves a double balance in performance and energy saving. Surprisingly, with the support of Continental MC6 high-performance tires, Brembo four-piston brake calipers and i-Booster2.0 electric power-assisted braking system, it weighs 2.5 tons and can achieve The braking distance from 100 kilometers is 33.8m. This braking performance is comparable to that of a high-performance supercar.
Three types of battery packs are available
The new car provides three battery pack capacities of 70, 84 and 100kWh to choose from. The corresponding NEDC cruising ranges are 415, 415 and 100kWh respectively. 485 and 580km, even the lowest version can currently handle the urban commuting of most consumers.
7 colors to choose from
The new car*** is available in six colors: cloud white, aurora brown, star gray, starry sky blue, deep space black, and nebula purple+2020 ?The new color of the year, Antarctic Blue, is available in seven colors.
Basic rights for new ES8 users
The new car provides lifetime free warranty, lifetime free battery replacement, lifetime free roadside assistance, lifetime free Internet of Vehicles services, and lifetime free off-site power-up. Users' basic rights and interests. At the current stage when batteries are still relatively fragile, NIO has provided car owners with sufficient protection, allowing consumers to use it with peace of mind and peace of mind.

The new Weilai ES8 offers six-seater and seven-seater options, with a pre-subsidy price range of 468,000-534,000. Among them, the 100kWh battery pack model will be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2020.

NIO also plays the family card, providing old users with a car purchase red envelope worth RMB 10,000 to RMB 15,000. This red envelope can not only be used by car owners themselves, but can also be given to relatives and friends.
What additional configurations does the signature version have?
Changing from the previous practice of launching a commemorative edition for the first time on the market, the ES8 launched this year is a "signature edition" and a "regular edition". The newly upgraded ES8*** has 4 configuration models, namely six-seat version, seven-seat version, signature six-seat version and signature seven-seat version. The signature version is 90,000 yuan more expensive than the regular version. , so what is the extra 90,000 yuan?
Judging from the official configuration, the extra 90,000 yuan includes 21-inch sports alloy wheels, signature design package (customized signature version, badge), NOMI Mate 2.0, Comfort package (seat heating, ventilation, fragrance system, etc.), Nappa? Advanced interior package, Microfiber? Super fiber velvet ceiling, advanced surround sound, enhanced display package (HUD, automatic anti-glare exterior mirrors), NIO?pilot?complete and other total?9?major functional configurations.
These 9 major configurations can be individually optional for any model. The total optional price alone is 118,400 yuan, so if you want a fully equipped brand new Wei The best way to get ES8 is to buy the signed version directly, because in this way you can save 28,400 yuan.
If you feel that the full configuration is a waste, you can choose it individually by yourself, which is more flexible.
How to choose between three battery packs?
On NIO DAY, NIO released a 100kWh battery pack. Simply increasing the battery pack to 100kWh is not scary in the automotive industry. What is really scary is that the three versions of battery packs launched by NIO can be used in all current NIO models, as Li Bin said at the press conference As "Only NIO can allow users to continue to enjoy the progress of battery life."
Take the new NIO ES8 as an example. NIO now has three versions of battery packs: 70kWh, 84kWh and 100kWh. The ES8 has a corresponding range of three battery packs. The mileage is 415km, 485km and 580km respectively. So there is one more question when purchasing the new NIO ES8: How to match the battery pack?
The new Weilai ES8 comes standard with a 70kWh battery pack. 84kWh and 100kWh are optional. The 70kWh battery pack and 84kWh are expected to be delivered in 2020. Around April this year, the optional 100kWh battery pack delivery is expected to be in the fourth quarter of 2020. The optional price is RMB 50,000 for an 84kWh battery pack and RMB 58,000 for a 100kWh battery pack.
In fact, the new NIO ES8, which comes standard with a 70kWh battery pack, is very flexible in terms of later optional large battery packs. First of all, the configurations of several models corresponding to the NIO ES8 (signature version correspond to the signature version) are the same. The only difference is the price of the optional battery pack. If you choose 84kWh in the future, you will need to pay an additional ?5. If you choose 100kWh, you need to pay an additional 58,000 yuan.
With such flexible matching, I personally feel that there is no need to wait for the delivery of the 100kWh or 84kWh battery pack. You can first purchase an ES8 with a 70kWh battery pack that suits your configuration. After purchasing, if you feel that the 70kWh battery pack cannot meet your daily travel needs, you can choose a suitable battery pack based on your travel needs.
In addition, NIO, which is endorsed by a battery swap station, also provides flexible battery rental services. This flexible on-demand upgrade means that when you need to travel long distances, you can rent according to your own car usage environment. The monthly charge for a 100kWh battery pack is RMB 1,280.
So if you have your own home charger, which is mostly used for daily transportation in the city, the 70kWh battery pack is completely sufficient, so there is no need to upgrade to a 100kWh battery pack. After all, let your own? ES8? The energy consumption will be higher if you carry a large battery every day. When you need to travel long distances, you can flexibly upgrade it as needed.
How to choose the new NIO? ES8?
1. If you want all the configurations of the new Weilai ES8, then go directly to the signature version;
2. If you feel that the full configuration is a waste and you can’t use it, then Just make individual configuration options according to your own needs, because there is no problem that the new Weilai ES8 cannot be optional;
3. Prioritize the purchase of the 70kWh standard battery pack, according to your own needs The vehicle environment is used to match the battery pack. If you often travel long distances and don’t want to frequently recharge, you can buy a car model first and upgrade after the 100kWh battery pack is launched. If you have a home charger and only travel long distances occasionally, there is no need to directly install the 100kWh battery pack. You can upgrade it as needed. Flexible upgrades.
Editor’s summary?/
Nio has only had a cruising range of 355km since it was first launched. Now, in just a few years, its maximum cruising range has increased to 580km. As a A private enterprise knows that users are their bread and butter. Many of the 188 improvements this time come from the voices of users. When NIO entered the market, many people thought that NIO had the confidence to sell it so expensively. Now that the overall price of NIO ES8 has been increased by 20,000, most people’s opinions have changed to: NIO is indeed good, and the car sells well. It's expensive because I'm "poor". It is not difficult to see the market’s reaction. People are slowly beginning to accept new energy vehicles and increasingly recognize NIO. As battery technology continues to mature and battery costs decrease due to the expansion of production scale, 2020 is likely to usher in a new era. A small explosion of pure electric vehicles.
