Nio Opens First Nio House in Macau as ES9 Deliveries Begin
Nio opened its first Nio House in Macau on 2 September 2026 in partnership with Guangdong Hongyue Automobile Group. Deliveries of the ES9 flagship SUV began the same day, strengthening the brand's presence in the local premium market.

Nio Inc opened its first Nio House in Macau on 2 September 2026, marking a significant expansion in the city's market presence. Located at Residencia Macau near the Crowne Plaza, the outlet combines conventional retail and service functions with community events and technology showcases, reflecting Nio's emphasis on user engagement across its retail network.
The Nio House opening coincided with the start of ES9 deliveries in Macau, broadening Nio's product lineup for local premium buyers. The company is operating through authorized partner Guangdong Hongyue Automobile Group, a partnership reflecting Nio's shift toward distributor-led models in select markets outside mainland China. This approach reduces upfront costs associated with establishing independent sales and service networks.
The expansion follows Nio's announcement in June 2025 that it was seeking a local distributor for Macau operations. Hongyue Group, which has operated automotive businesses in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area for nearly three decades, brings existing customer bases and service infrastructure to support Nio's growth. Macau's regulatory environment permits left-hand-drive vehicles more readily than Hong Kong, providing greater market flexibility for mainland Chinese EV manufacturers.
Nio's network in Macau now comprises one Nio House, one Nio Space, and two battery swap stations, with a third facility in planning stages. The company offers products across its Nio, Onvo, and Firefly brands in the city. According to co-founder and president Qin Lihong, Nio has consistently ranked among the top three new energy vehicle brands by sales in Macau, though specific figures remain undisclosed.
