Here's How This Chinese EV Took Down The BMW X3
- Nio ES6 is one of the top-selling premium EV crossovers in China and outsold BMW X3 variant models for several months.
- Nio ES6 is based on an all-new platform called NT 2.0 and rivals BMW X3 and Audi Q5 in terms of size and market position.
- Nio considers itself a contemporary to BMW, Audi, or Mercedes-Benz and has a base price of around $47,000.
- The Nio ES6 is powered by a dual-motor AWD setup good for a combined output of 490 horsepower. Those motors are fed by either a 75, 100, or 150 kWh battery.
- Nio offers a surprisingly high amount of interior customization for the ES6 that includes an almost BMW-esque Camel color.
- NOP+ (Navigate on Pilot Plus), Nio's Level 2 semi-autonomous driving software, is powered by a Nvidia Orin chip and adds LiDAR for an extra degree of precision.
- Nio ES6's exterior design looks neat and sophisticated while the interio has only just one screen in front of the driver that shows speed and range, and another tablet-style screen for everything else.
- Nio ES6's regenerative braking, steering weight, and even acceleration times are highly customizable within its five drive modes.
- The ES6 is good at isolating the cabin from the outside world; It’s wicked quiet and outstandingly smooth – a breath of fresh air in an era of loud crossovers.
- Nio ES6 still faces a challenge when it comes to entering new markets like the United States.
