What is the NIO ES8?
The ES8 is NIO’s large electric SUV, with a spacious layout suited to family travel. It has held a flagship role in the brand’s range since its debut as NIO’s first volume-produced vehicle. The model is part of the company’s focus on connected electric cars and battery services.
The ES8’s second generation uses NIO’s NT2.0 platform and is listed for 2023–2025. The European registration figures cover 2021–2024, spanning both the period before and the years when this generation was listed.
Engines and power
The ES8 versions recorded in Europe are all electric. Their power ranges from 160 kW (218 PS) to 240 kW (326 PS). As a large SUV, the ES8 gives NIO’s electric range a higher-riding, passenger-focused option alongside its ET saloons.
How economical is the NIO ES8?
Official EEA registration figures list the ES8 from 2021 to 2024, with 1,963 cars across six versions. All are electric, so there is no petrol or diesel consumption figure.
Registration and motor-power figures do not give an electricity-consumption or CO₂ test result. European efficiency testing uses WLTP or, for some earlier vehicles, NEDC. The USA uses EPA procedures, while Canada uses a five-cycle test, so figures from those markets are not directly interchangeable.
