The ES8 is NIO’s flagship electric SUV, designed for long-distance travel, dynamic performance and intelligent everyday use. Its dual-motor all-wheel-drive system delivers 480 kW of power and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds. With an estimated range of up to 900 km (CLTC), it supports reliable, long-distance capability.
A lightweight aluminium body, dual-chamber air suspension and continuous damping control provide confident, composed handling. Smart Matrix LED headlights, assisted by LiDAR, adapt to changing traffic and road conditions.
NIO Aquila powers assisted driving through 33 integrated sensors, including LiDAR, radar and high-resolution cameras. The system delivers real-time environmental awareness and redundancy to support safety and driver confidence.
Inside, the cabin layout emphasizes space, clarity and ease of use. Two six-seat configurations offer comfort and third-row access. The Banyan operating system supports over-the-air updates and powers the digital cockpit, featuring a 12.8” centre display and expanded head-up display. NOMI, the voice assistant, allows for hands-free control, while the PanoCinema system combines ambient lighting, spatial audio and infotainment to create an immersive in-car experience.
Alongside standard charging, the ES8 enables fully automated battery swapping. A depleted battery can be replaced in minutes at a NIO Power Swap Station. Combined with the Battery-as-a-Service model, this reduces the initial purchase price and allows future battery upgrades without replacing the vehicle.

Located on Breitscheidplatz in the heart of the capital, the flagship space combines technology, service and community in a quiet, comfortable setting where you can speak with product experts and learn more about innovations like battery swapping and flexible ownership.
