Updated Nio ES6 interior

Spy shots of the updated Nio ES6 revealed visible design adjustments. The car’s center console has a large horizontally aligned screen instead of the portrait-oriented monitor of the current model. The gear shifter of the ES6 moved to the steering column. This change helped to free enough space for two 50W air-cooled wireless phone charging pads. The car also has a spacious compartment under the center tunnel.

The updated Nio ES6 has the same three-spoke steering wheel, a rectangular LCD instrument cluster, and a Nomi voice assistant. Another highlight of the vehicle is ambient lighting. Similar to the current model, the updated ES6 has no conventional glove box. The car also boasts a black ceiling and pillars. Seats, steering wheel, and door cards are finished in brown.
