firefly Showcases Three Models and Battery Swapping at Chengdu Auto Show

On August 21, 2026, firefly showcased three vehicles at the 29th Chengdu Motor Show: haven, the first model in its halo series; pawfect, a user-customized pet-themed car; and a vehicle finished in the lavender colorway, highlighting the brand’s evolving product capabilities and a vibrant small-car culture. The model in lavender is displayed alongside NIO’s fifth-generation Power Swap Station, marking the first time firefly’s battery swapping capability has been showcased at an auto show.

As firefly’s first design-driven product line, the halo series made its first public auto show appearance with its inaugural model, haven. Built around a four-shade green color palette, the vehicle creates a cohesive visual and sensory experience through carefully coordinated exterior colors and interior details, continuing the brand’s exploration of high-end small-car design. As an important outcome of user co-creation, pawfect was extensively customized around the real-world travel needs of pet owners. It features an integrated grooming station in the frunk and a power-retractable step at the rear, creating a dedicated space for pets and opening up new possibilities for pet-friendly travel.

Earlier this month, NIO’s first batch of fifth-generation Power Swap Stations began operations, marking the rollout of battery swap services for firefly users. This time, firefly brought the model in lavender alongside a fifth-generation station to the Chengdu Motor Show, offering an immersive showcase of the model’s battery swap capabilities. The station on display features a Chengdu-inspired graphic decal incorporating local landmarks such as the Tianfu Tower and Financial City Twin Towers, together with playful panda motifs, creating a distinctive visual expression that brings together local character and firefly’s unique brand identity.

With ever-evolving product capabilities and access to NIO’s battery swap network, firefly further strengthens its differentiated position in the high-end small car segment. Looking ahead, firefly will continue to push the boundaries through product innovation and user co-creation, transforming the small car from a means of getting around into a canvas for personal expression, aesthetic identity, and lifestyle, making every journey a unique way to glow.
