Firefly Likely to Come to UK in October - CleanTechnica
NIO, the Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker, is facing financial challenges despite growing sales in a highly competitive domestic market. To sustain growth, NIO launched an affordable small-car brand called Firefly, which has been well-received for its attractive design and advanced technology. The Firefly model is compact yet practical, featuring a 141 hp motor, a 260-mile (418 km) range under the CLTC standard, a class-leading 4.7-meter turning radius, and automated parking capabilities. It also offers a front trunk (frunk) with 92 liters of storage, enhancing its utility despite its small size. Looking to expand internationally, NIO is reportedly planning to introduce the Firefly brand to the UK market as early as October 2025. The UK is one of the largest EV markets globally and has a strong demand for small electric cars, positioning Firefly to compete against models like the Volkswagen ID.2, Renault 5, Hyundai Ioniq 3, and Kia EV3. While the Firefly’s starting price in China is approximately £12,350 ($16,700), the UK price remains unknown and will likely be higher due to shipping and import costs. Early sales in China showed promise, with 3,680 deliveries in its first full month, indicating potential for success abroad if the brand resonates with UK consumers.
