Nio delivers 29,356 vehicles in April, up 22.8% on year

[SINGAPORE] Chinese electric vehicle maker Nio delivered 29,356 vehicles in April 2026, a 22.8 per cent increase from the same month a year ago.

However, the figure marks a pullback from the 35,486 units delivered in March, the company said in a regulatory filing on Friday (May 1).

The April tally brings Nio’s year-to-date deliveries to 112,821 vehicles, up 71 per cent from the same period in 2025.

Cumulative deliveries crossed 1.1 million, reaching 1,110,413 as at Apr 30, 2026.

Of the April deliveries, 19,024 vehicles came from Nios flagship premium brand, while the family-oriented Onvo sub-brand contributed 5,352 units, and the compact high-end Firefly brand accounted for the remaining 4,980 vehicles.

The month-on-month dip comes as the company prepares for a wave of new product launches. On Apr 9, Nio commenced pre-sales of its ES9, a flagship executive sport utility vehicle (SUV) featuring more than 40 industry-first technologies.

The company said the ES9 is intended to usher in a new era of battery electric vehicles for the executive flagship SUV segment.

Onvo kicked off pre-sales of its L80, a large five-seat SUV, on Apr 28. The L80 is positioned as China’s five-seat SUV with the largest boot space in its class, targeting family buyers.

Meanwhile, the Nio All-New ES8 reached a milestone of 100,000 cumulative deliveries within 215 days on Apr 23, which the carmaker said set a new delivery performance record for premium passenger vehicles priced above 400,000 yuan (S$74,566) in China.
