Speaking of independent brands, we can think of independent brand SUVs and some high-end new energy vehicles. But when its price reaches 500,000 yuan, some people will say that this is not the price of a luxury car. In the high-end pure electric SUV market, domestic electric vehicles have long been dominated. Nowadays, domestic cars have become better and better. Not only in the low-end market to take a good share, but also continue to break through, the launch of a number of high-end models. Among the many new car-making brands, WEILAI has made remarkable achievements in recent years. The performance was absolutely outstanding.

Among SUVs, monthly sales ranked 5th, annual sales ranked 5th, in Chinese cars, monthly sales ranked 103rd, annual sales ranked 119th. Weilai ES8 at this price with this data in the high-end new energy model I think it is OK. Another luxury car put down its face, dropped 160,000 in one breath, the length of the car exceeded 5 meters, and regretted buying a Tesla
In terms of appearance, appearance is the soul of the car and an important factor in attracting consumers. It is undeniable that the value of Weilai ES8 is indeed high enough. As a new energy brand, the sharp family design brings no less momentum than the coupe. The silver X-shaped large-size decorative panel and split headlight group design on the front face look very sci-fi, the flat and sharp headlight group is very recognizable, coupled with the silver decoration of the front of the car, as well as the grille, the sense of movement is instantly bursting. The hood line has a slight bulge, but the entire front of the car will look low from the side, very close to the future car in people's minds, and this design will also reduce the wind resistance.
In terms of interior, the interior design of THE NIO ES8 is indeed more luxurious. A lot of soft materials are used in the car, and the leather double-spoke steering wheel feels very good. The centre console is asymmetrically designed, and the seats are concave which improves the passenger space.

Its seats are the softest, and the front seats have everything from ventilation and heating to seat massage. That's really the power of a luxury flagship SUV. The second row is equipped with individual seats, and space and comfort are well guaranteed. The legroom in the second and third rows is quite spacious, but the seats are relatively short. In terms of detailed design, the second row of seats of the NIO ES8 is designed with a power interface, and the cup holder, including the location where the mobile phone is placed, is also designed. I have to say that the designers of Weilai ES8 are very attentive.
