Nio ES6

The Nio ES6 is a battery electric mid-size luxury crossover SUV manufactured by Chinese electric car company Nio.[1]

First generation (2019–2023)

The first-generation ES6 is the second SUV product by Nio,[4] announced at Nio Day in December 2018[5] and was put into production in 2019 for the Chinese market.

Specifications

The ES6 is a 5-seater mid-size production SUV, with a wheelbase of 2,900 mm2997 mm and a body length of 4,850 mm2997 mm. The body and chassis are completely aluminum, and the drivetrain is all-wheel drive standard, and featured active air suspension. The design includes the X-bar and Nio's signature "Spark Beat" taillights.[6]

The Nio ES6 was the world's first SUV with both permanent magnet and induction motors.[7] With a dual-motor four-wheel drive system with a peak power of up to 400. kW and a maximum torque of 725 Nm, the Nio ES6 accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 4.7 seconds. The ES7 is powered by a lithium-ion battery pack compatible with Nio's battery swap stations just like the Nio ES8. The range of the car with the 100kWh battery is up to 610. km NEDC.[8]

Second generation (2023)

The second-generation Nio ES6 was shown to the public during 2023 Auto Shanghai. It is built on the NT2.0 platform. While of similar appearance to the first generation, it is an entirely new model.[9] The battery options include a 75kWh battery capable of a CLTC range of 465 km, a 100kWh battery capable of a CLTC range of 605 km, and a 150kWh battery capable of a CLTC range of 900 km.

This car went on sale in Northern Europe as the Nio EL6 in June 2023.[9] Nio had to change the name to EL6 as Audi felt that the "ES6" moniker was too close to their S6 model.[9] The battery options for EL6 include 75kWh battery capable of a WLTP range of 406 km, and a 100kWh battery capable of a WLTP range of 529 km.[10]

2025 facelift

Alongside the ET5, ET5T and EC6, the ES6 was given a refresh on May 10, 2025.[11] Changes include a redesigned exterior and interior that matches the flagship ET9, with the notable inclusion of a 15.6-inch landscape-oriented AMOLED central infotainment system replacing the previous portrait setup, a 19.4-inch windshield head-up display (W-HUD) and aa 8-megapixel streaming rearview mirror.
