At today's NIO ES8 5-seater version launch event, NIO founder, Chairman, and CEO Li Bin stated that the new NIO ES8 has achieved 120,000 deliveries in 275 days since its launch, and has been the top-selling large SUV and 400,000-level model for six consecutive months. Li Bin mentioned that the new NIO ES8 has also driven up the pure electric penetration rate in the 350,000-500,000 large three-row market, increasing from 10% in August 2025 to 52% in May this year. The pure electric penetration rate for 5-seater SUVs in the 350,000-500,000 segment was only 6.25% in May 2026, and the goal of the NIO ES8 5-seater version is to drive large 5-seater SUVs into the pure electric era.
