This is Nio's cheapest EV yet, debuting its affordable Firefly brand
Over the weekend Nio held its Nio Day 2024 event, where, as expected, it officially unveiled its third and most affordable brand - Firefly.
Firefly's first car is also simply called Firefly, and you can see it in the images peppered throughout this article. Firefly pre-sales have already started, with CNY 148,800 ($20,400) pricing, though it's unclear if this includes the battery or not, as Firefly will have its own battery swapping stations throughout China.
The car will become available in April. Nio founder and CEO William Li said the Firefly is smaller than a Smart and smarter than a Mini. The Firefly is built to adhere to the latest five-star safety ratings in both China and Europe, where it will be launching next.
While Nio didn't release dimensions for the Firefly, or any other specs really, it did say that its turning radius is a mere 185 inches, its frunk capacity is 3.25 ft³, and its trunk capacity is 44.1 ft³ with the rear seats folded.

Oh, it's Honda clone, but actually nice and usable one! Something like this I would love to have as a second car for family use.
