Electric vehicle manufacturer NIO closed out 2025 with a thunderous performance, delivering a remarkable 48,135 vehicles in December and capping off a year of extraordinary growth.

The Chinese automotive innovator demonstrated impressive resilience, achieving a stunning 54.6% year-over-year delivery increase in the final month of the year. This accomplishment marks NIO's fifth consecutive month of expanding vehicle production and sales, signaling robust momentum in the competitive electric vehicle market.

Breaking down December's deliveries reveals a diverse portfolio: 31,897 NIO brand vehicles, 9,154 ONVO brand vehicles, and 7,084 Firefly brand vehicles showcased the company's multi-pronged strategy. The fourth quarter proved particularly strong, with a total of 124,807 vehicles delivered across all brands - representing significant growth across their entire lineup.

The annual performance was equally impressive. NIO sold 326,028 vehicles in 2025, a substantial 46.9% increase from the previous year's 221,970 deliveries. The brand-specific growth tells an even more compelling story: NIO brand vehicles grew 27.8% year-over-year, ONVO brand vehicles surged an extraordinary 92.1%, and Firefly brand vehicles expanded by 52.8%.

Notably, the company is tantalizingly close to a significant milestone, reaching 997,592 cumulative deliveries - just shy of the coveted one million mark. Industry observers anticipate an imminent announcement celebrating this remarkable achievement.

While the beginning of 2025 might have started slowly for NIO, the year's conclusion demonstrates the company's remarkable resilience, innovative approach, and strong market positioning in the rapidly evolving electric vehicle landscape.
