Nio ES8 Lanyue Package Adds Forged Wheels and Gold Calipers

Nio ES8 Lanyue Package Adds Forged Wheels and Gold Calipers

Nio Inc has introduced the Nio ES8 Lanyue Package, adding a new equipment option for its large battery-electric SUV as the model continues to post strong deliveries one year after its third-generation launch. The package is available for the Executive Luxury and Executive Signature variants, combining 22-inch forged wheels with gold brake calipers. The new option arrives as the ES8 reaches 150,000 cumulative deliveries and remains the highest-volume model in the Nio lineup. Its introduction also follows the expansion of the ES8 range with a five-seat configuration designed to reach additional customers in the large SUV segment.

Lanyue Package Adds 22-Inch Forged Wheels

The Lanyue package costs 25,800 yuan ($3,820) for the Executive Luxury variant and 10,800 yuan for the Executive Signature variant, according to Nio Inc. The equipment includes 22-inch forged wheels valued at 25,800 yuan and gold brake calipers valued at 3,500 yuan, with the brake calipers provided at no additional charge. The wheels use aerospace-grade 6000-series aluminum alloy and are forged under 10,000 tons of pressure before receiving T6 heat treatment. Each wheel weighs 18.5 kilograms, while the design incorporates variable wall thickness and floating center caps that keep the Nio logo upright as the wheels rotate.

ES8 Pricing and Financing Terms

With the Lanyue package fitted, prices including the battery begin at 408,600 yuan for the Executive Luxury variant and 433,600 yuan for the Executive Signature variant, based on pricing shown in the Nio App. Under the BaaS, or battery-as-a-service, rental plan, starting prices are 300,600 yuan and 325,600 yuan for the two variants, respectively. Customers who lock in ES8 orders by September 30 can also receive preferential financing and a limited-time 10,000 yuan allowance for optional equipment. The financing plan covers 60 monthly installments, with no interest during the first 24 months and a 3% annualized fee rate during the remaining 36 months.

ES8 Reaches 150,000 Cumulative Deliveries

The Lanyue package arrives shortly after the third-generation ES8 completed its first year on the market. The model launched on September 20, 2025, with deliveries beginning the following day, and cumulative deliveries reached 150,000 on September 20, 2026. The latest 10,000 vehicles were delivered in 30 days, matching the time required for the preceding 10,000-unit increase. The delivery pace gives the ES8 a sustained position among high-volume models in the China market one year after launch, according to the figures provided in the original report.

Five-Seat Version Broadens the ES8 Lineup

The ES8 lineup has also expanded beyond its original six-seat and seven-seat configurations. A five-seat version launched on July 9, 2026, with deliveries beginning the following day, extending the model into the large five-seat SUV segment. The broader seating range gives customers additional configuration choices while the model continues to contribute a substantial share of Nio's deliveries. The ES8 represented about 62% of the Nio main brand's deliveries and about 38% of Nio Inc's total deliveries during the first eight months of 2026.

Nio ES8 Monthly Deliveries 2024-2026

The monthly delivery figures show how ES8 volumes changed across 2024, 2025, and 2026. The 2026 figures include 17,658 deliveries in January, 11,271 in February, 16,255 in March, 13,028 in April, 11,475 in May, 8,969 in June, 10,288 in July, and 11,001 in August. The 2025 figures increased sharply toward the end of the year, while the 2024 monthly totals remained below the later delivery levels. September through December 2026 figures were not provided in the shared data and therefore remain blank in the table below.

August Deliveries Exceed 11,000 Units

The ES8 delivered about 11,000 vehicles in August 2026, marking the second consecutive month above 10,000 deliveries. The August result followed 10,288 deliveries in July and kept the ES8 as the highest-volume model in the Nio lineup. The first eight months of 2026 also show consistently elevated monthly volumes compared with the corresponding figures from 2024 and the first eight months of 2025. The delivery data indicate that the ES8's contribution to Nio's sales remained substantial as the company introduced additional configurations and equipment options around the model's first anniversary.

Industry Impact & Outlook

The ES8's continued high delivery volumes, broader seating choices, and new premium equipment package show how China's large battery-electric SUV market can support ongoing product updates after an initial launch. For Nio, the Lanyue package provides another configuration for customers while the five-seat version expands the model's addressable segment within large SUVs. The 150,000-delivery milestone and sustained monthly volumes also increase the importance of the ES8 within the company's sales mix. The next relevant developments will include delivery performance after the first anniversary, customer response to the new package, and the contribution of the five-seat version to future ES8 volumes.
