NIO Delivers 29,356 Vehicles in April, Up 22.8% Year-over-Year

NIO Delivers Nearly 30,000 Vehicles in April as All Three Brands Fire on All Cylinders

NIO Inc. recently released its latest delivery data for April 2025. The figures show that NIO delivered a total of 29,356 new vehicles in April, representing a 22.8% year-over-year increase and continuing the strong growth momentum seen throughout the year.

Highlights Across All Three Brands

From a brand perspective, all three brands under the NIO umbrella delivered solid results in April:

• NIO Brand: Delivered 19,024 vehicles, continuing to serve as the sales backbone and demonstrating its firm position in the premium smart electric vehicle market;
• ONVO (Ledao) Brand: Delivered 5,352 vehicles, a 21.6% year-over-year increase. Positioned as a family-oriented brand, ONVO is steadily carving out its market share;
• firefly Brand: Delivered 4,980 vehicles. As NIO's newest brand targeting younger consumers with compact premium vehicles, firefly has seen steadily growing market acceptance since its launch.

The three brands cover different market segments from entry-level to premium, forming a comprehensive product matrix that provides strong support for NIO's sustained overall sales growth.

Cumulative Deliveries Surge 71% in First Four Months

Looking at a longer timeframe, NIO's performance in the first four months of 2025 has been particularly impressive. From January to April, NIO delivered a total of 112,821 new vehicles, a 71.0% year-over-year increase — growth that far outpaces the industry average. To date, NIO has cumulatively delivered 1,110,413 vehicles, officially crossing the 1.1 million milestone.

This achievement is closely tied to NIO's continued investment in intelligent technologies. NIO has long regarded AI technology as one of its core competitive advantages. Its self-developed intelligent driving system, NIO Pilot, and the next-generation NAD (NIO Autonomous Driving) platform continue to undergo iterative upgrades, with ongoing improvements to user experience in scenarios such as city-level navigation-guided pilot assistance. Additionally, NIO's proprietary NOMI in-car AI assistant has become a frequently used smart interaction interface for users, further reinforcing the brand's technology credentials.

Intensifying Industry Competition Makes Intelligence a Key Differentiator

The Chinese new energy vehicle market is becoming increasingly competitive, with major automakers doubling down on AI-powered intelligent driving and smart cockpit technologies. Through its long-term investments in battery swap networks, intelligent driving, and AI computing platforms, NIO is building differentiated competitive moats.

Notably, NIO is also accelerating the deep integration of large AI models with intelligent driving. Its "World Model"-driven end-to-end autonomous driving solution is regarded as a key technical pathway for next-generation intelligent driving. As the three-brand strategy is fully implemented and intelligent technologies continue to evolve, NIO is well-positioned to achieve even greater delivery breakthroughs in 2025.

Overall, NIO's April delivery data once again validates the effectiveness of its multi-brand strategy and lays a solid foundation for achieving its full-year sales targets.
