Nio Inc. delivered 13,270 vehicles in May 2025—a 31.1% month-over-month drop—driven by the shift from older to updated models. The ES6 led with 5,479 units, while Onvo and Firefly also contributed 6,281 and 3,680 deliveries, respectively.
ES6 Leads May, ET5T, EC6 Also Strong
In May, Nio's top seller was the ES6 with 5,479 units, followed by the ET5T at 2,923, EC6 at 2,026, and ET5 at 1,564. The ET9 luxury sedan contributed 682 deliveries, with the ES8, ET7, EC7, and ES7 trailing at 292, 207, 94, and just 3 units respectively. These nine models delivered a total of 13,270 vehicles.
31.1% MoM Drop Reflects Refresh Timing
The overall Nio brand’s sales of 13,270 units reflected a -31.1% decline from April, as inventory cleared older model versions and new ES6/EC6 and ET5 variants prepared for rollout. The EV maker is clearly in a transition phase, as outlined in the tweet. The Onvo sub-brand sold 6,281, while Firefly delivered 3,680 units—boosting the Group’s total to 23,231 vehicles in May motorchina.es+7nio.com+7eletric-vehicles.com+7.
With updated ES6/EC6 deliveries kicking off mid-May and ET5/ET5T rolling out by month’s end, Nio’s product refresh strategy is gaining steam. Analysts will be watching June deliveries closely to see how the transition translates into sustained volume. As the tweet notes, the MoM drop was expected—and may set the stage for a rebound once new models gain traction.
