For people today, cars are an indispensable means of transportation. Many boys have an obsession with buying cars—not only can it expand their living space, but it also provides convenience for family and friends when traveling. If you have a budget of around 400.000 RMB, you might want to consider the NIO ES6 2024 model with a 100kWh battery. With a guide price of 396.000 RMB and sales of 8.112 units in July, it clearly demonstrates its strength. Just like its name suggests, the NIO ES6 feels like a car that has traveled from the future. Let me explain why the NIO ES6 maintains such high sales.
The NIO ES6 exudes a very imposing aura overall. The closed front design, paired with matte black active grille shutters on the upper and lower sections, gives off a unique charm. The elongated and aggressive daytime running lights on both sides, combined with the slightly cute LED headlights on the top and bottom, don't look out of place at all. The headlights are quite powerful, and the three sensors on top add to the high-tech feel.
The NIO ES6's size is just right: 4854mm in length, 1995mm in width, 1703mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2915mm, with very balanced proportions overall. It uses 20-inch tires, and the simple side waistline visually elongates the body. The rear features a continuous straight-line taillight, with the internal light group arranged neatly. The shark fin antenna and spoiler on the roof add a sporty touch, and the rear windshield wiper is hidden in the spoiler, further simplifying the layout. The roof is equipped with luggage racks, and the openable panoramic sunroof offers a broader view.
The interior of the NIO ES6 is designed to appeal to both men and women, which is no easy feat. The simplified center console even hides the air vents. The 12.8-inch central screen offers high clarity, and the multifunctional flat-bottom steering wheel, covered in leather, feels great to the touch. The 10.2-inch fully digital instrument panel and HUD head-up display add to the tech-savvy atmosphere of the cockpit. There are four charging ports in total, two at the front and two at the back, and the central armrest features two cup holders and a wireless charging pad for phones. The interior is covered with a lot of soft leather materials, and both the front and rear doors are equipped with electric suction doors. The rear seats come with standard privacy glass. Additionally, the NIO ES6 comes standard with in-car internet, OTA system upgrades, in-car Bluetooth, and facial recognition. The simulated engine sound feature lets you enjoy the thrill of a fuel car, and you can switch to a soothing mode to relax. The VTOV external power output can reach up to 3.3kW, making it ideal for outdoor camping. The car is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 smart chip, with 256GB of onboard storage.
The seats in the NIO ES6 are a major highlight. Although they are made of synthetic leather, the overall design is independently developed by NIO, making them more aligned with our body structure for enhanced comfort. The seats come with electric adjustment functions throughout the vehicle; the front seats support full adjustment and partial adjustment, while the rear seats can only adjust the backrest angle. The front seats feature leg rests, seat heating, and seat memory functions, though other features require additional payment, which seems a bit unfair for a car priced around 400.000 RMB. The NIO ES6 offers ample space for family use. After adjusting the front seats, there is still a distance of one fist and two fingers between your head and the roof when you move to the second row. The seat cushions could be a bit longer, and adding leg rests like those in the front seats would be nice. With a distance of two fists and four fingers between your legs and the seat in front, you won't feel cramped. The panoramic sunroof is quite large, allowing you to enjoy the scenery on a nice day.
This version of the NIO ES6 has a long range and uses a ternary lithium battery, with an electric motor on both the front and rear. The maximum power of the entire vehicle is 360kW, and the maximum torque reaches 700N·m. With the support of the electric four-wheel drive, it can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds, showcasing impressive power performance. The top speed is 200 km/h, indicating that the NIO ES6 can sustain high-speed acceleration without any issues in overtaking.
The NIO ES6 offers a well-balanced combination of handling and comfort. The multi-link independent suspension on both the front and rear gives the NIO ES6 greater maneuverability and a more robust chassis. When accelerating from 0 km/h, you can feel a noticeable pushback, but it doesn't make you dizzy. The lateral support of the seats is excellent, keeping your body firmly in place during turns. After entering the city, I tested the smart driving feature; the numerous cameras, radars, and other sensors on the vehicle accurately capture the surrounding information and make precise decisions for the next move. The Dolby Atmos sound system is very refined, with clear and bright tuning for mid and high tones. Combined with the 256-color ambient lighting, night driving feels incredibly ceremonial.
This long-range version has a range of 625 km, and the NIO ES6 supports a 400V high-voltage fast-charging platform, charging from 10% to 80% in 0.6 hours—a commendable charging speed. The power consumption per 100 km is equivalent to a fuel car's 1.96L gasoline consumption, significantly reducing vehicle operating costs, making it an excellent choice for a family car.
Do you think the NIO ES6 can maintain its July sales? If you had 400.000 RMB to spend on a car, would you consider the NIO ES6?
