Is Nio’s budget EV brand Firefly trying a bit too hard to grab attention? They’ve just rolled out a new special edition model, hoping to shake things up and inject some life into sales that have been sputtering a bit lately. It officially hit the market on Friday, sporting what they’re calling a ‘retro-futuristic’ design. Sounds… interesting. Limited to just 166 units, this new model is definitely leaning into exclusivity.
If you’re thinking of buying one outright, complete with the battery pack, you’re looking at 137,800 yuan (about $19,990). That’s a solid 15% jump from the standard Firefly’s starting price of 119,800 yuan. For those who prefer the Battery-as-a-Service route, the special edition kicks off at 97,800 yuan, with a monthly battery rental fee of 399 yuan. It’s a strategy we’ve seen before, and it’s often a way to make the initial sticker price look more palatable.
