Firefly, the sub-brand of the Chinese EV maker Nio, expanded availability of its performance suspension package to all customers on Saturday, removing exclusivity restrictions that previously limited the upgrade to buyers of a special edition model.
The “G-Force Gravity Control Package” was initially offered only with the Night Creature Special Edition launched in mid-October and limited to 999 units.
Firefly now makes the package available to buyers of its standard model at a promotional price of 2,999 yuan ($422) for both new and existing customers, the company said on Saturday.
The package replaces the vehicle’s four suspension springs with higher-rigidity red springs and matching shock absorbers.
The brand claims the upgrade delivers an 11.2% improvement in steering linearity, 10.8% increase in steering effort, 14% reduction in body roll, 15.2% improvement in cornering brake stability, and 13% enhancement in high-speed cornering stability.
New buyers can configure the package through the Firefly app at 2,999 yuan ($422), reduced from a regular price of 3,999 yuan ($563).
Existing owners can purchase through the app and have it installed at official service centers for 2,999 yuan compared to a standard installation price of 4,599 yuan — equivalent to $647.
The promotional pricing expires on the last day of 2025.
Customers ordering before year-end will receive a “G-Force Gravity Control” tailgate badge, according to Firefly.
The announcement came one day after the brand said it had reached 30,000 cumulative deliveries and displayed a rally-inspired concept version of its model at the Guangzhou International Auto Show.
Firefly launched its sole model on April 19 with deliveries in China commencing April 29.
The company reported 26,242 deliveries through October, primarily in China, with remaining volumes distributed across European markets including Norway, the Netherlands and Belgium.
As reported by EV on Friday, the brand is in negotiations with local distributors in Brazil and Spain, marking the company’s first disclosure of plans for those markets.
Firefly was designed with the European market in mind.
However, the extra tariffs imposed by the European Commission a year ago forced the Shanghai-based company to adjust the brand’s rollout strategy.
