Nio Inc (NYSE: NIO) has reached production of its 300,000th ES6 electric SUV (sport utility vehicle), marking a milestone for one of its main-selling models.
On November 1, the 300,000th Nio ES6 officially rolled off the production line, the Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker announced on Weibo.
Among Chinese-brand pure electric models priced above RMB 300,000 ($42,150), the ES6 is the best-selling and the first to reach 300,000 units produced, Nio said.
The ES6 has reshaped the landscape of China's premium mid-size SUV market, it wrote on Weibo.
Delivery of the 300,000th ES6 is expected to be completed later this month, factoring in logistics and other considerations.
The ES6 delivered 2,930 units in September, bringing cumulative deliveries to 289,912 units through the end of September, according to data compiled by CnEVPost.
The SUV currently offers only one variant in China, starting at RMB 338,000 including a 100-kWh battery pack.
As Nio's second mass-produced model following the ES8 SUV, the ES6 has been the EV maker's best-selling vehicle for years, though its position has been overtaken by the ET5 Touring station wagon in recent months.
The ET5 Touring delivered 5,048 units in September, maintaining its position as Nio's top-selling model by monthly volume and surpassing the ES6 for the fourth consecutive month.
