Nio has delivered its 300,000th ES6, the company said on Tuesday, a day after introducing a Milestone Edition of the electric SUV to commemorate the achievement.
The ES6 reached the milestone in mid-November, with Nio co-founder and president Qin Lihong handing over the first batch of Milestone Edition vehicles to customers, according to a statement on the company’s Weibo account. The variant is priced from RMB 349,800 ($49,190) including a 100-kWh battery pack, a RMB 11,800, or 3.49%, premium over the standard ES6.

The launch follows Nio’s announcement earlier this month that production of the 300,000th ES6 had been completed, marking a key milestone for one of its core models in China’s premium electric SUV segment. Introduced as the company’s second mass-produced model after the ES8, the ES6 has been a crucial contributor to Nio’s lineup.
The ES6 is currently sold in a single configuration in China, priced from RMB 338,000 with a 100-kWh battery pack. While historically one of Nio’s most popular models, it has recently been overtaken in monthly sales by the ET5 Touring, which delivered 5,048 units in September, extending its lead for the fourth straight month.

Under the Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) plan, pricing starts at RMB 241,800 with a monthly battery rental fee of RMB 1,128.
Showroom display units have already been deployed, and customer deliveries will begin on November 18. Nio’s website shows estimated delivery times of two to three weeks for both the standard ES6 and the Milestone Edition.
