Video Summary

- The NIO EL8 is the upgraded, new-generation version of the ES8.
- The car features a center console in the executive version, with a fridge, which holds two half-liter bottles.
- The center console has a space to put your phone.
- It features a screen in the back for setting the temperature of the rear seat.
- The car has a new double-chamber air suspension.
- The new software allows drivers to now see what percentage the charge will be upon arrival.
- The navigation system failed to recognize that the road was closed.
- The NIO EL8 features better head-up display with colors and map data compared to previous versions, and has a battery health indicator.
- The reviewer feels that as the driver, he focuses more on pressing buttons on the screen, yet the car manages to drive well automatically.
- He reports that it is very quiet when driving, but had to drive manually near a truck for a more accurate assessment.
- The car also has NOMI GPT, which is a voice-activated AI function.
- A con is that the windows operate the "wrong" way. You push outward instead of pull inward to use them. The sensitivity is a bit too high.
- The reviewer feels that the car is quiet and the new suspension and it almost removes any body roll.
