- Nio launched the 'Club Spiaggia' special edition of its Firefly EV, limited to 666 units, with orders open and deliveries starting immediately across China.
- The Club Spiaggia Firefly is priced at RMB 135,800 ($~20,200), or RMB 95,800 ($~14,250) with the Battery as a Service (BaaS) subscription — a 13% premium over the base model.
- The special edition debuts a new 'breeze blue' exterior color Nio says draws from Italy's sunlit coastlines, paired with cabana stripe graphics in 'aqua blue' and 'sunlit orange' and 'Club Spiaggia' decals.
- Inside, the cabin gets 'sunny siesta' beige upholstery with 'sunlit orange' accent stitching on the steering wheel and seats, plus matching trim on door panels, cupholders, and a striped full-length floor mat.
- Nio bills this as its sixth special-edition Firefly model and frames the launch as 'further shaping its identity as a high-end small car brand, infused with the laid-back spirit… of the coast.'
Why it matters: Nio is using a numbered, superstition-defying limited run (666 units, 13% premium) to layer an Italian-coast identity onto its entry-level Firefly hatchback, betting that lifestyle trim — not range or tech — moves metal at the bottom of its lineup. For buyers, the RMB 15,800 markup over the base Firefly buys paint and upholstery, not mechanical upgrades, making the value calculus purely aesthetic.
