NIO (09866) ES8 completes delivery of 130000 new cars

The Zhitong Finance App learned that on July 22, the 130,000 new NIO (09866) ES8 cars were delivered at the Jindong Weilai Delivery Center in Jinhua, Zhejiang. The model delivered to users this time is the ES8 5-seater version. Since its launch in late September 2025, the NIO ES8 took 305 days to reach the milestone of delivery of 130,000 new vehicles.

Mr. Guo, the 130,000 new ES8 car user, has been with NIO for many years. He highly appreciates NIO's original design and “rechargeable, replaceable and upgradeable” energy service system, and also agrees with NIO's long-term commitment to the pure electric technology route. As the founder of a technology company and a father of two, Mr. Guo has a clear need for a car for everyday travel. He said, “I've always wanted a 5-seater SUV with more space and flexibility. The ES8 5-seater version just fits the needs. Especially after the center armrest in the second row is knocked down, it can form a four-seater layout, which can meet business scenarios and everyday use at the same time.” When talking about the product experience of the ES8 Big 5-seater version, he particularly appreciated the large space and the flexible loading experience of “separation of passenger and storage”.

According to market terminal data, the monthly sales volume of pure electric three-row SUVs continued to rank first among all energy types in June, surpassing extended-range models for ten consecutive months. Meanwhile, in the five-seater SUV market, sales of pure electric power products increased nearly 3 times in June compared to April, surpassed range-extension power for the first time, and continued to rank above fuel-powered models. Driven by models such as the NIO ES8 Big 5 seater version, the leading trend of pure electric SUVs is rapidly penetrating from the big three row market to the big five seat market.

At the same time, the overall passenger car market also ushered in a historic inflection point for pure electric power. In June, retail sales of fuel, plug-in hybrid, and extended-range power all fell sharply year on year. Among them, retail sales of growth engine fell 31.9% year on year, and pure electricity became the only positive driving force for growth. In various market segments, pure electric power has become the number one priority choice for consumers, and the structural evolution of the market is irreversible.

Also, according to data from the Passenger Federation, from January to June 2026, the cumulative retail sales volume of the NIO ES8 reached 78,618 units, ranking first in the sales market segments of large SUVs and 400,000 class models in the first half of the year. From January to June of this year, the cumulative sales volume of pure electric three-row SUVs exceeded 185,400 units, ranking first among all power types, and three-row SUVs with high growth range ranked at the end of all power forms, accounting for only 60% of pure electric sales.

In June 2026, the average transaction price of the NIO brand reached 443,000 yuan, continuing to surpass traditional luxury brands and rank first among all brands. Currently, China's NEV market is entering a brand “clarification period”. With its strong systematization capabilities and technological innovation capabilities unique to the industry, NIO has successfully established the mentality of high-end users and stabilized its position in the first-tier luxury brand camp.

At present, ES8 has built a strong product matrix covering high-end five-seater and high-end three-row SUVs, and continues to consolidate NIO's dominant position in the high-end pure electric SUV market through excellent product experience, leading large SUVs to fully enter the pure electric era.
