NIO ES6 driving notes below use published English copy for comfort, performance and daily use.

Driving & performance

How the car puts power down and feels on the road.

  • The dual-motor four-wheel drive provides a swift acceleration feel, allowing for easy overtaking in daily driving; the power reserve is sufficient, and the vehicle still has power for further acceleration in the later stages.
  • Electric consumption increases significantly during rapid acceleration, affecting range.
  • The acceleration is swift, the power response is quick, providing a strong pushback; the power reserve is sufficient, and the high-speed cruising and reacceleration capabilities are excellent.
  • Electricity consumption increases significantly during intense driving, and the driving range decreases rapidly.

Cabin comfort

How the cabin is described for passengers on everyday roads.

  • The suspension can be adjusted for softness and hardness, providing high-level vibration damping for daily driving, but there is slight shaking during large bumps; the front head and legroom are ample, and the seat adjustment range is large.
  • The standard suspension allows for both comfort and sportiness through soft and hard adjustments.
  • On poor roads, the body shakes more than vehicles with air suspension.
  • The chassis provides good shock absorption in comfort mode, but it is stiffer in sports mode; the sound insulation is above average, but wind noise and tire noise are more noticeable at high speeds.

Space & practicality

How the car is described for daily errands and family use.

  • The CLTC 650km range meets most daily and short-distance travel needs.
  • The range discount is evident during low temperatures in winter or intense driving.

  • The 100kWh large battery provides a considerable driving range basis.

Smart tech & daily use

How the published notes describe software and driver assistance.

  • The car's system is smooth, and the screen is clear, but third-party app support needs to be expanded; the standard auxiliary driving functions are comprehensive, but advanced urban intelligent driving requires subscription.
  • The number of apps in the app store is not as rich as that in the mobile phone ecosystem.
  • The in-car system operates smoothly, and the screen display is excellent; the assisted driving features are abundant, providing a relaxed high-speed cruising experience.
