We were invited to drive the new NIO ES6 or NIO EL6 in Europe…
The first NIO ES6/EL6 has been NIO’s best selling model to date. NIO has launched the All-New NIO ES6/EL6 on the NT2.0 platform. Although the NIO ES6/EL6 is still the entry-level SUV in the line-up it’s hard to find fault. Could the new NIO ES6/EL6 be NIO’s best EV yet?
We took a look at the brand new NIO ES6/EL6 to see what the second generation brings to the table. Short answer is the NIO ES6/EL6 offer’s nealry all of the comfort, premium feeling and tech of NIO’s more expensive models.
No doubt in our mind that the All-new NIO ES6/EL6 will become NIO’s new best selling EV.

Your prices include the 30k service option which is not in the base price.
@@jwickerszh These prices in the pinned comment were the prices directly given during the European presentation.
The video prices were correct at the time of recording, since the announcement came out later about the 30K off and the loss of the NIO benefits such as free battery swaps. So the video prices still stand as I say owners can have 4 or 6 free swaps.
But yes now owners can opt out of the free monthly battery swaps and other benefits in exchange for a reduction of 30K. Is this a long term pricing change…not sure.
@@jwickerszh However, personally I think the NIO benefits outweigh the 30K reduction. SInce you’re safeguarded some what by any rises in electricity prices over the next say 5-6years that most will keep the car for. Also there’s pricing difference of swapping costs for electricity in different cities that people might want to take into account as well.
@@ChinaDriven The 30k also includes 10 years unlimited mileage warranty (don't know the details from the mobile app, unclear), 8Gb free data per month (lifelong) and 4 free swaps per month (lifelong). Also worth noting that this "pack" can be refunded (as a discount) when you purchase a new car later on OR passed on to the new car.
So yeah, it might seem a bit steep if your not charging / swapping outside of home and don't necessarily care about the data but given that it is basically a never expiring privilege ... why not.
Speaking of which it might be cool to do a "buy guide" video checking all the options and whether they are worth it, I've seen some reviews comparing the base caars vs. options and what they would pick and why and it can be useful.
Nio designs are the best in the industry. I'd just choose this car over Model Y if they were offered in my country
I just test drived the ES6 and is the best car ever!!! Way better than my model Y....
It blows my mind how people say Teslas EVs are better than NIOs, those people don't know what they are talking about. NIO absolutely has the best products in the world, they are the best EV/tech company in the world hands down. I really hope they come to the US very soon, I want an ES6 or ET5 so bad
Teslas are most dated and worst built of any EV
the problem we have in here in Germany is the built quality of Tesla and the poor service. after 30k Km i saw videos that parts of the suspension need to be replaced , I have a 2004 Porsche Boxster with over 272k km on the clock and the suspension parts has completly being replaced at 262k km....to be frank the EVs are more heavier but still i would then use parts that withstand such forces and clearly those Teslas have been made with the cheapest material possible
You can't compete the "Tesla's" battery performance & range.
I want one ASAP!!!
This ES6/EL6 is absolutely stunning, great video Will!
Thanks a lot!
this is an amazing car. who ever buys a tesla over this needs a real checkup unless money is the factor
Well said. But the cults the cult. They don't sell based on looks.
Make it available in Australia 🙏 no need for battery swap, just a fast charger so it gets here sooner....
I really like Nio design language and that they bring some more luxurious features, like massage seats and better sound insulation. But we also know that an et5, even with a 100kWh battery has less range than a model 3 with just an 82kWh battery so they have some work to do with efficiency. As well as infotainmentsystemet.
That combined with the much more refined charging network is probably why Tesla sells much more
@@WifyishTesla's charging network in China is way smaller in China than nio's. It's the cult that drives sales. Like Nike.
"On the road", the "battery performance" & "range" is a big less better than "Tesla's model".
the newest line-up from NIO is amazing, EL6 and ET5 Touring look great!
Agreed!
Amazingly good looking suv
It’s pretty bang tidy.
Damnit we need this in the US
Rumours are that NIO is preparing to enter the US, supposedly “by 2025”
But that’s not set in stone.
Bidden not happy about this. Trump is the only hope you have.
I believe that NIO will face numerous challenges in entering the US in the current environment.
Excellent car and review!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love this review much more now than 2 months ago. Well done for the moment of love of NOMI.
lol. what changed your mind?
I just tried a model Y....good car but not near the ES6... The ES6 bigger and way more premium
And NIO customer service and benefits are great
@@ChinaDriven exactly. Tesla services are very poor. Still Tesla has the footprint. NIO would need few more years. But I am waiting patiently
You are the best source of information about Chinese EVs. Respect for what you do. Good and clear English for non-English man. Regards
So nice of you
Great review. My 2 favs are the ES6 and the ET5 Touring.
Good choice!
Same for me, I saw the rear of the ET5T in Beijing a couple of weeks ago, recognises the Nio badging and made a point of visiting their showroom in Livat centre, Daxing, unfortunately showroom ET5T had been sold so was locked up and I couldn’t look inside. Sales staff pointed me at the new ES6 and after a bit of research it looks like a great replacement for my aging VW Touran.
Nice one Will! I wish ES7 also had the same hidden rear wiper though 😢
Yeah me too
Looks nice~
It's honestly the best entry-level NIO product. A step above the ET5.
ES 6 is definitely nice car from the review you’ve given. Should sell great !!
I think so too!
let's see what the people in China think,Nio products are beautiful products that sound real premium. For some reason customers in China have not been feeling nio lately. I hope all the slow sales were due to the price war and now Nio has given to the price war,we shall see.
They don't buy because of ES6. They are waiting to receive him because he is so good. So why would they buy another NIO vehicle until it starts selling.
Great job you did again, i like it. Thanks 🙏⚡️🔋🏁
🙌 appreciated!
GO NIO !
Excellent review, very informative, thanks.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching :)
An amazing car ❤
I really like watching your reviews. They are always cars that aren’t available here, and I dig your review style. I laughed when you were talking to the Nomi thing, but there’s no way I would want it looking at me all the time and blinking😁
I appreciate that! Nomi is ofc optional, but it adds something fun. My kid loves it
@chinadriven Great review, thank you so much for it - one minor thing is that the ET5 actually DOES NOT have air suspension @5:50 :)
Thanks. Appreciated.
But actually I didn’t say the ET5 has air suspension…the line was
“Surprisingly this doesn’t come with air suspension like the ET5. This does come with CDC.”
Maybe how I phrased it was a bit convoluted
@@ChinaDriven ahah, yeah now I see it - it could be understood both ways :) all good tha, sorry
yeah I get where your coming from!
@@ChinaDriven :)
You sold it!) but I’m not sure which colour interior to choose… brown or grey?
Ah that’s personal preference. I have a light interior colour in my ET7 and it seems to be wearing well after a year
I would like to go for dark grey exterior with light grey interior. And wrap it with satin matt finish, and darken the lights too.
8:33 Lol, well said!
Some of the reviewers I believe don’t know how to change the Nomi settings. Nomi very infrequently interrupts me in my ET7.
But I’m their defence, you do need to change several Nomi based settings in several menus. As a reviewer I’m aware that we sometimes don’t have enough time with the cars to fully grasp these complicated menus and tech rich features
@@ChinaDriven that sum it up. I appreciate the effort put into your reviews. Keep on going mate. Cheers
appreciated
NIO the sleeping Giant ! 🚀
Nice review, useful as currently looking at a few EV’s and Chinese own brands were not being considered. Living in Beijing this could be a nice option.
Hope it was helpful! Where are you located? What Chinese EVs are in your market?
@@ChinaDriven I’m living in Yizhuang area of Daxing District, Beijing. Initially I was looking at the Model Y, I also looked at the VW ID6/ID4, Audi Q4 E-torn. VW & Audi performance is at best “lacklustre” and the 160km/hr top speed limit is disappointing (not that I plan driving anywhere at that speed in China). The Audi is basically the same mechanics as the VW ID4 with better trim quality. When I look for a new car I still tend to look at top speed and 0-100 times, fuel/power consumption, safety ratings and then the nice to have items. Tesla comes out better than the German brands but I think the Nio can be a serious competitor to the model Y. My only concern is that Nio is not making a profit and the uncertainty of whether the Company can survive. Currently there are far too many players in the Chinese EV market and many will not survive, it would be sad to see Nio fail as they produce well engineered quality products.
@@stevehale4712 NIO won’t go anywhere. Worse case scenario someone will acquire them. I think they’ve done enough where they have brand value
Charging times??
Same as every NIO around half an hour 20-80%
But most in China make use of home charging or
This thing is sick. Its a do or die for Nio, even 8n Europe, they must consider for lower price ranges as well
How does this price comepare to Model Y in China?
On the face of it:
NIO ES6 = $46.3K
Tesla Model Y = $36.1K
But the base NIO ES6 is higher spec. So comparatively a Model Y LR is $41K and is a half second slower. A NIO ES6 with a lease battery costing $134/Mo. costs $36.7K
And the equipment and features in the ES6 outstrip the Model Y. Things like full leather interior, CDC which on bad urban roads is a godsend.
@ChinaDriven thank you for your rely, my man!
@@enockheewonyoon1001 My pleasure
ThinkI That I was born thinking that 🇺🇸 was the first world
Which colour is it on the darker bluish ES6 in your test?
Antarctic Star Blue
Thx for the quick reply! Love your content. @@ChinaDriven
@@palovgren9687 My pleasure. I try to reply to as many people as possible who ask questions
Haha those German journalists may just be a bit anti-social, lol
To reduce the interruptions NOMI makes requires changing several settings in several different menus.
I think they weren’t aware how to do that.
this is what the looks of cars in 2030 will be 😂
8:39 German here, it definitely seems annoying
