In recent years, the speed of development of new energy vehicles can not help but sigh, recently also in the domestic new energy vehicles, taking into account the elderly and children at home, want to choose a medium-sized SUV. test drive the Lixiang L7 and the NIO ES6, I personally still prefer ES6, mainly because of the power switching technology not only saves money but also to meet the hobby of my self-driving tour, and add-on economy is not as good as pure electric car. The NIO ES6 is available in two versions, the difference is the battery capacity, and the 8,112 units sold in July makes me feel very comfortable with the car. I'd like to take this opportunity to talk about the overall performance of the NIO ES6 2024 100kWh, and provide some reference for those of you who are in the market for a car.
The NIO ES6 looks much better in real life than in pictures, with a closed front end with split headlights, a recessed area around the licence plate, and an active closed grille in matte black below. The slim daytime running lights are recognisable with the LED headlights below. A piece of LiDAR protrudes from the centre above the front windscreen, and there are two sensors on either side - a distinctive design that is much appreciated.
Compared to the Lixiang L7, the NIO ES6 is indeed a bit smaller in size, but the 2,915mm wheelbase is more than adequate. The overall length of the car is 4854mm, width is 1995mm, height is 1703mm, and 20-inch sport wheels are fitted as standard. The sides are designed with hidden door handles, effectively reducing wind resistance. The spoiler at the rear highlights the sportiness and also brings higher downforce. The penetrating tail lamps are delicate and beautiful, and also meet the aesthetics of young people. The presence of high-mounted brake lights facilitates the provision of brake signals to the rear vehicle at night, improving driving safety. The roof section mainly consists of a panoramic sunroof and luggage rack, both of which are very suitable for outdoor travelling.
The interior design style of the NIO ES6 gives a very refreshing feeling, almost hiding everything that can be hidden, such as air conditioning vents and physical buttons.The 12.8-inch centre console screen is located in the centre of the centre console, and the 10.2-inch full LCD instrumentation is paired with a HUD head-up display to provide the driver with comprehensive information about the vehicle.The NIO ES6 gearshift is very innovative, and the right side retains the The three emergency physical buttons are simple and premium. The hollowed-out bottom of the centre console adds storage space, with two cup holders and a wireless charging for mobile phones, all thoughtful features. The push-button door opening paired with the electric door reflects a strong sense of technology. The roof uses a large area of tumbled leather material, contrasting with the surrounding soft leather parcel, will not look like the whole car's interior is monotonous. The original car comes with an automatic anti-glare rearview mirror, plus $3,880 can be optional streaming rearview mirror, there is a SOS physical button above the rearview mirror, which can call for help in time in the event of an accident.
The NIO ES6 as a mid-size SUV is good in terms of comfort and space, the seats all over the car are made of imitation leather, but the workmanship is also very attentive, if you really pursue the texture can be optional Nappa leather seats again. The main passenger has a lot of functions, such as seat electric adjustment, seat heating and seat memory, etc. The seats are moderately soft, providing enough support without letting the whole body sink into the seats. There are multiple layers of acoustic glass in the front and multiple layers of acoustic glass + privacy glass in the rear, both of which are features that improve comfort in the car. Rear space is also very sufficient, after adjusting the angle of the backrest of the rear seat, people with a height of 190cm can sit in it. The luggage compartment has a volume of 579L, and after putting the rear seats down, you will get more space, and you can also buy a cushion to lay on it for resting.
NIO ES6 power is quite strong, there is an electric motor in the front and rear, NIO ES6‘s maximum power can reach 360kW, the maximum torque can reach 700N-m. Adopting the EV single-speed gearbox, the power is transmitted directly to the wheels, which can effectively reduce the loss of power.NIO ES6’s top speed can reach 200km/h, and due to its wind resistance coefficient of 0.25Cd, the The 100km acceleration can be done in 4.5 seconds, and the actual speed after the test is even faster than the official data given.
After test driving the nio ES6, I don't even want to drive my family's gas-guzzling car anymore. I can't feel any stuttering during the acceleration process at the beginning, and the power is evenly distributed at every acceleration point. The car's soundproofing is good, with very little tyre or wind noise below 90km/h. The HUD head-up display shows some speed and other information, allowing me to concentrate more on driving. During cornering, the whole body of the nio ES6 is still very stable, and with the side support of the seats, it can meet the needs of more intense handling. nio ES6 is equipped with sound wave simulation, which is not as real as a fuel car, but it still let me have a good time.
This is the high end version of the NIO ES6, and the range has been increased to 625km on top of the 500km range of the low end version.The maximum fast charging power is up to 180kw, and with the 400V high voltage fast charging platform + power exchange, it has a very strong range. With a power consumption of 17.3kWh per 100km, converted to petrol it only takes 1.96L per 100km.The NIO ES6 also supports chassis soft and hard adjustments, and with electric four-wheel drive, it is not a problem to cope with most of the complicated road surfaces.
