TESTER’S NOTE
TESTED 31.8.21, NORWAY ON SALE SEPTEMBER (EUROPE)
The front seats offer extreme longitudinal adjustment, enabling you to motor far back enough to easily grab items from the rear or attend to children while still belted in.
F ew models exemplify the global nature of today’s car industry better than the Nio ES8. The first of four EVs from a Chinese firm that was established only in 2014 yet is now valued higher than BMW, this seven-seat SUV was developed by four ‘competence centres’ around the world: Shanghai conceived it, Munich styled it, Oxford engineered it and Silicon Valley coded its software.
