Nio is bringing its three car brands onto one Beijing Auto Show stand for the first time, turning the event into a single-company showcase. (cnevpost.com) The company said it will display 11 models from Nio, Onvo and Firefly at the 2026 Beijing Auto Show, with a media briefing scheduled for April 24 from 10:00 a.m. to 10:40 a.m. Beijing time. Nio said the presentation will be livestreamed on the Nio app and its social media accounts. (cnevpost.com) The Beijing show opens on April 24, and organizers said this year’s event will span 380,000 square meters across two venues, with 1,451 vehicles and 181 premiere models on display. That scale makes it the largest auto show in the world by exhibition area, according to event coverage cited by CnEVPost. (cnevpost.com) For Nio, the booth layout puts its premium Nio line, its mass-market Onvo brand and its small-car Firefly brand in one place at a moment when the company is broadening beyond a single marque. Nio’s corporate site says the company now operates as more than one brand, while CnEVPost describes Nio, Onvo and Firefly as its three active marques. (nio.com, cnevpost.com) That grouping also follows a year of increasingly public brand separation. At Auto Shanghai 2025, Nio said it showcased 11 models and 12 full-stack technologies from Nio, Onvo and Firefly, and Chief Executive William Li called it the first time the three brands had attended that show together. (nio.com) Onvo has been in the middle of a product push ahead of Beijing. CnEVPost reported on April 19 that Onvo had started nationwide shipping of the 2026 L90 sport utility vehicle to stores across China, with showroom and test-drive cars arriving on April 21. (cnevpost.com) Firefly has also been getting fresh attention this month. Firefly’s newsroom said on April 1 that its first model won the 2026 World Urban Car award, and CnEVPost reported on April 3 that Nio had scheduled an upgraded Firefly model for April 7 as part of a broader spring product refresh. (firefly.world, cnevpost.com) The company is not using Beijing just to add another model launch to the calendar. It is using China’s biggest auto-show stage to present Nio, Onvo and Firefly as one coordinated lineup. (cnevpost.com)
