On July 9, Beijing time, the five-seat version of the NiO ES8 was officially listed, with a price of 274,800 yuan - 422,800 yuan, providing two purchase methods: battery rental and vehicle purchase. In addition to the price and space that everyone cares about, whether the performance of intelligentization is satisfactory is also an important factor affecting product strength at present. In this article, we will comprehensively analyze the NiO ES8 five-seat edition from the configuration upgrade and performance of intelligentization. NiO ES8 Five-Seater Edition NiO ES8 Five-Seater Edition Let's review the key information of the NiO ES8 Five-Seater Edition: The new car is no different from the six/seven-seater version in appearance, the front main and co-pilot are equipped with zero-gravity seats, and the rear row is double quasi-zero-gravity seats. The new car eliminates the third row of seats, further freeing up interior and trunk loading space. In terms of battery life, the new car comes standard with a 102kWh battery pack, and the battery life can reach 655km under the CLTC standard. NiO ES8 Five Seat Edition Front Dual Zero Gravity Seat NiO ES8 Five Seat Edition Rear Dual Zero Gravity Seat Front Seat Back can be flattened 180°, Rear Zero Gravity Seat The maximum reclining angle is 138°, all systems are equipped with electric legrests, and the right rear seat is equipped with exclusive footrests and small table boards. The whole car seat is equipped with three-stage heating, 60m ³/h high air volume suction seat ventilation, the main driver is equipped with 14 o'clock massage, and the remaining seats are 16 o'clock multimodal massage. The headrest in the front row is removed and the seat is pushed down 180° to form a through space with the second row. In general, the gain brought by the five-seater seat layout is reflected in the space and configuration. For friends with a low utilization rate in the third row, the space performance is not the biggest highlight of the NiO ES8 five-seater edition, but rather the abandonment of the third row seat brings more choices to the NiO ES8. NiO ES8 Five Seater Edition Front Seat 180° Down Next, let's focus on the intelligent configuration of the five-seater version of the NiO ES8: From the hardware perspective, the NiO ES8 is equipped with a self-developed car-grade 5nm Shengui NX9031 chip for assisted driving. Although there is no specific data, according to NiO, the chip has a computing power level of more than 1000TOPS, and is equipped with the NiO lidar master control chip Yang Xi NX6031 to cope with complex driving scenarios. The cockpit is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon SA8295P chip. Finally, through the NiO Cedar Adam central computing platform, the integrated scheduling is realized, and the overall overall management of tasks such as vehicle assisted driving and cockpit entertainment is realized. NiO central computing platform Cedar Adam NiO LiDAR master control chip Yang Xi NX6031 NiO self-developed auxiliary driving chip Shengui NX9031 sensor, including 31 sensing hardware: 1 roof long-range lidar 2 side wide-angle lidar 1 4D millimeter-wave imaging radar 7 8-megapixel HD cameras 4 3-megapixel surround view cameras 1 enhanced driver sensing 12 ultrasonic sensors 1 V2X vehicle path synergy sensing 1 high-precision positioning unit 1 driver off-hand detection sensor Roof LiD lidar 4D millimeter-wave radar 8-megapixel camera NiO indicates a maximum sensible range of more than 400,000 ㎡. Overall, at least from the level of intelligent hardware, the NiO ES8 has been able to reach the mainstream level, and whether the function is available and easy to use, often relying on algorithms and software. Only if the software and hardware cooperate smoothly enough, the actual experience can be guaranteed. In terms of software and algorithms, NiO's NWM big model has come to version 2.5. Just on the NiO ES9 the other day, we can get the overall performance of NiO's NWM2.5 at this stage through the experience of intellectual driving at the peak of the evening. In summary, there are four points compared to NWM2.0: NiO's world model NWM 1, more confident. After the new version has been refined, the self-confidence of assisted driving has been greatly enhanced, significantly reducing the phenomenon of excessive defense, wavering and indecision, and the ability to grasp opportunities is stronger, and decision-making can be made more directly at key moments. 2. More accurate. The route planning and selection are still accurate, the bypass efficiency is improved, and the distance can be better grasped in the face of narrow roads and narrow spaces, the movement is more smooth, the lane change movement is faster, once in place, the overall fluidity is higher, and the coherence is better. 3. The world model of NWM2.5 has been further improved in VLM capability, which can identify tidal lanes and sky signs. At the same time, the access to the park has also been optimized, and the process of entering and exiting the park has been more natural and smooth. 4. The car control ability has been further strengthened, and the driving style is more stable and heavy, which conforms to the stable and comfortable positioning of the new car. The NWM2.5 version of the NiO ES9 Intelligent Driving Night Peak shows more about the performance of NWM2.5. Can you click on the link and completely turn over? How big is the NiO ES9 NWM2.5 model upgrade? Check past videos, or go to the homepage to watch past shows, there is no need to elaborate here. NiO Nomi Intelligence 4.0 NiO Nomi Intelligence 4.0 In terms of the intelligent cockpit, this NiO Nomi Intelligence 4.0 adopts a full-link end-to-end architecture, which greatly improves the capabilities of the core model NIM. It also introduces a reinforcement learning mechanism, which can theoretically achieve more and better results. NiO ES8 five-seat version of the interior 15.6-inch central control screen intelligent dimming privacy window can support three-speed light adjustment 21.4-inch mini-LED rear sky screen 27 speakers, rated power 2600W of the Qianqin 8.1.4.2 panoramic sound In addition to the above performance, from the perspective of comfort performance, NiO ES8 also reflects a certain sense of technology in the car. Among them, the third-generation 1.7 ㎡ smart dimming privacy window can support three-stage light transmission adjustment, and the light transmittance of the privacy mode is as low as 0.35%. With 242 acoustic packages + active road noise suppression technology, the quietness of the whole vehicle is greatly improved. The car is equipped with a 48-inch 5K Skyline digital skyline, a 15.6-inch center control screen, a 21.4-inch mini-LED rear sky screen, and the screen is linked with a 16 million-color stratified flowing ambiance lamp. In addition, the new car is equipped with 27 loudspeakers, 2600W rated power, and 8.1.4.2 panoramic sound. NiO ES8 five-seat edition summary: NiO ES8 five-seat edition in terms of intelligence, whether hardware or software algorithms and the collaboration between the two in the current stage of the market are considered to be the first echelon of the level, which is also due to NiO began a long time ago in advance layout. In the early years, I saw that the four Orin X chips on NiO's car were still a bit wasteful. Now this computing power level is just right, and NiO considered the process of switching from Nvidia chips to self-developed Shengui chips and the subsequent adaptation between different models. It also abandoned Nvidia's development tools and instead developed a unified self-development framework and inference engine, which ensured the continuity of the functions of different chip models and the operability of subsequent updates and iterations. The NiO ES8 Five Seat Edition and above is the intelligent configuration analysis of the NiO ES8 Five Seat Edition in this issue. Based on the price, which one do you think is more suitable for you, the Five Seat Edition and the Six/Seven Seat Edition? This is a smart car studio. In 2026, we will continue to test the assisted driving system of all major models on the market, and open the live broadcast to share the tested dry goods every Friday night. We will see you in the next issue! (Photo/text: Automobile House Xin Tie Cheng).
