Official page (2025 ES8): 'NIO ES8 features 11 airbags and a total airbag volume of 474L' (2 front, 2 front curtain, 2 front side, far-side center + second-row seat-cushion airbags; the second-row reclining safety system is available only in the 6-seat version, so the 11-count applies to the 6-seater). AD: 'NIO Navigate on Pilot Plus (NOP+)' point-to-point across urban/highway/expressway/recharging scenarios and Intelligent Parking Assist (Shiftless Advanced Parking Assist, Remote Parking, Drag-and-Park, Power Swap Pilot); 'Seven 8 MP cameras provide 360° high-resolution surround vision' (360° camera). 'Farther, Sharper High Beams' pixel-level beam control is part of the High-Definition Projection Lights, which the page marks '*Optional feature'. 'Shenji Safety Vision keeps blind spots under watch' (camera-based, with Digital Rearview Mirror) mapped to Blind spot monitoring. No AEB/ACC items are individually itemized on the official page, and the 2025 ES8's ADAS is therefore not documented per-feature; the AEB/FCW/pedestrian-cyclist/lane keeping/eCall entries below are documented on the official Euro NCAP result page for the 2021 pre-facelift test vehicle only (2021 protocol: AEB car/pedestrian/cyclist, 'autonomous emergency braking and forward collision warning', Lane Keep Assist + Emergency Lane Keeping, Advanced eCall available, multi-collision brake available) - see generation caveat. Rating is for the pre-facelift ES8 (2021 Euro NCAP test, 6-seat LHD; 82% AOP, 84% COP, 72% VRU, 92% Safety Assist); the 2025 ES8 has not been re-tested. NIO page claims passive safety 'beyond Chinese regulations and global 5-star standards'. No trim differentiation on official sources, so ADAS levels marked optional per contract.
