Nio has commenced deliveries of a five-seat variant of its ES8 SUV, the company's best-selling model, as it seeks to reverse a recent sales decline. According to CnEVPost, ES8 deliveries fell 21.85% sequentially in June, prompting the introduction of the new configuration. The five-seat version is expected to revive momentum for the model, which has been a flagship for Nio since its 2018 launch. By offering a five-seat option, Nio aims to appeal to customers who do not require the larger seven-seat layout, potentially broadening the ES8's customer base. The five-seat ES8 is now available for delivery to customers in China.
