Yang Bo, Nio's head of user operations, announced the upcoming milestone in a Weibo post on Monday, without specifying a delivery date.
The third-generation ES8 went on sale in China on September 20, 2025, with deliveries starting the following day. If completed as planned, the model will reach 150,000 cumulative deliveries within 1 year.
The model reached 140,000 deliveries at the Chengdu Auto Show on August 21. Reaching the new milestone this week would mean the latest 10,000 deliveries took about 1 month.
The ES8 has become a mainstay of Nio's sales. Deliveries across the lineup totaled 11,001 in August, up 6.93% from July and exceeding 10,000 for the second consecutive month, according to China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) data compiled by CnEVPost.
In the first 8 months of this year, ES8 deliveries totaled 99,948, accounting for 62.21% of the main Nio brand's deliveries and 38.02% of Nio Inc's total.
The addition of a 5-seat version has broadened the ES8's potential customer base. The variant was launched on July 9, with deliveries starting the next day, expanding the lineup beyond its 6- and 7-seat configurations into the large 5-seat SUV segment.
At launch, the 5-seat version started at 382,800 yuan ($56,550), including the battery pack, 5.9% below the launch price of the 3-row version.
Under the BaaS (battery as a service) plan, the 5-seat version's launch price started at 274,800 yuan, with battery rental fees charged separately.
The ES8 and the more upscale ES9 together recorded 17,480 deliveries in August, accounting for 82.55% of the main Nio brand's total and underscoring the importance of large all-electric SUVs to its sales.
