The NIO EL6 has showcased its prowess in safety with notable scores across various categories: 93 percent in adult occupancy, 85 percent in child occupant safety, 78 percent in vulnerable road user safety, and 76 percent in safety assist tests. These achievements are attributed to its comprehensive safety features and the strategic use of a steel-aluminum hybrid body for enhanced frontal collision protection.
A key component of the EL6’s safety system is its innovative use of LiDAR sensors, which played a crucial role in its performance in Euro NCAP’s demanding tests. These tests now evaluate vehicles against over a hundred active safety scenarios, emphasizing the protection of occupants and vulnerable road users alike.
In emergency situations, the EL6 ensures that doors can be opened within two minutes of power loss, and electric windows remain operational, facilitating a timely escape if submerged.
NIO’s commitment to safety is evident in its focus on developing both active and passive safety systems. The five-star Euro NCAP rating of the EL6 reinforces the company’s dedication to offering vehicles that provide peace of mind to families looking for a reliable and safe mid-size SUV.
