NIO Firefly in the United Kingdom: can you get one?
Not yet — but the NIO Firefly is confirmed for the United Kingdom.
Announced export market: the United Kingdom — confirmed by Firefly for 2026; right-hand-drive mass production started November 2025. No UK distributor, price or on-sale date has been named yet — but the other half of the same announcement, Thailand, did open on schedule in March 2026. That is a launch the company has committed to publicly, not a car you can order today, so treat the timing as a plan and check a local dealer before counting on it.

| China price (reference) | Not announced |
| Model status | On sale in China |
One of the most open Western markets for Chinese EVs. BYD and others already sell here, and right-hand-drive availability is strong.
