The opening of the Budapest showroom represents an important step in NIO’s regional expansion strategy. Budapest serves as a strategic hub due to its central geographic position, strong automotive tradition and rapidly developing electric vehicle ecosystem. The city offers ideal conditions for introducing innovative premium electric mobility solutions to a growing user base in the CEE region.

At first, four smart & fully electric NIO models will be available for users: the mid-size sedan ET5, the tourer ET5 Touring, the all-round SUV EL6 and the flagship SUV EL8. In addition, the brand new firefly will also be available, a compact premium electric car for urban mobility.

As part of the festive opening ceremony, NIO celebrated a symbolic moment by completing its first user delivery in Hungary: Flagship Premium SUV NIO EL8 was handed over to its new owner, highlighting the model’s advanced electric performance, premium comfort and cutting-edge technology.
