Nio ES6: Chinese brand releases third EV

Nio has expanded its fast-growing line of electric vehicles in China, adding the mid-sized ES6 SUV to its range. Revealed at an event in Shanghai, the ES6 is being described as a "high-performance" and "long-range" sibling to the ES8 SUV and lap-record smashing ES9 supercar. Two trim levels will be offered: the ES6 Standard, with a 160kW motor on each axle, and the ES6 Performance, which subs the regular rear motor for a 240kW unit.
