8. Specially-designed suspension system.
NIO EP9’s brakes, tires, and other components like suspension are all designed to match the car’s super performance. The engineers really did put a lot of thoughts into building this car. Especially when it comes to maintaining the balance between performance and reliability.
This new electric car is equipped with an active suspension of 4-way adjustable dampers. As NextEV NIO describes it on the company’s website, “Active third elements. Right where they’re needed.”
This 4-way active suspension system is all new and specially designed for NIO cars, including this NIO EP9. So, what is the key to this newly-designed system? The active third element mentioned above.
Besides the 4-way adjustable dampers, the car has a hydraulic third actuator. Its main function is to maintain a consistent ride height. And that allows drivers to experience the car’s top performance while cornering at high speeds.
