On the evening of September 20th, at NIO Day 2025, NIO Inc. founder, chairman, and CEO Li Bin delivered a keynote speech.
During the event, the all-new NIO Inc. ES8 was officially unveiled, positioned as a full-scenario technology flagship SUV. Li Bin stated that the new NIO Inc. ES8 has garnered widespread attention over the past month, with market performance exceeding expectations. User choices and market data have demonstrated that the golden era of extended-range large three-row SUVs is passing, while the era of pure electric large three-row SUVs is emerging. The underlying reason for this market trend is that the construction of charging and battery swap networks, along with the advancement of pure electric technology, is transitioning from quantitative to qualitative change. Over the past decade, NIO Inc. has cumulatively invested over 18 billion yuan in charging and battery swap infrastructure, with total R&D investment exceeding 60 billion yuan.
Regarding the interior space of the new NIO Inc. ES8, he indicated it has reached the level of mainstream MPVs, stating "6 people, 12 luggage pieces with no pressure, every seat is MVP-level, offering a direct replacement for MPVs."
