Xiaomi crosses 400,000 electric vehicles delivered in 2025
Xiaomi closed 2025 with a headline-grabbing milestone: more than 400,000 electric cars delivered since the brand entered the auto market. The breakthrough is striking for a company best known for smartphones just a few years earlier — and it underscores how quickly tech firms can scale when they pair consumer electronics know-how with automotive manufacturing.
A strong December run pushed Xiaomi past the four-hundred-thousand mark. The company reported 361,625 deliveries through November 2025, and deliveries exceeded 50,000 units in December alone, comfortably surpassing internal targets and cementing Xiaomi's position among China’s fast-growing EV makers.
From SU7 sedan to YU7 SUV: how the lineup fueled growth
Xiaomi began its automotive journey with the SU7 sedan, launched on March 28, 2024. The SU7 gained attention for its clean exterior lines and cabin packed with connected features and advanced infotainment — a natural extension of Xiaomi's consumer-electronics strength. In November 2025, the SU7 recorded 12,520 deliveries.
The launch of the YU7 SUV in June 2025 proved pivotal. Designed to challenge popular compact electric crossovers such as the Tesla Model Y, the YU7 quickly became the brand's volume driver. Within six months of release, CEO Lei Jun announced the YU7 had hit a 150,000-unit delivery milestone. In November alone, the SUV accounted for 33,729 of Xiaomi’s deliveries, signaling a clear consumer preference for larger utility vehicles.
What’s next: models, facelifts and EREVs
Xiaomi isn’t pausing. The 2026 roadmap includes two new EREVs (Extended Range Electric Vehicles) — models that pair an electric drivetrain with a small range-extending gasoline generator. One will be a large 7-seat SUV aimed at families and fleet buyers; the other will be a compact 5-seat SUV to compete in crowded crossover segments.
Meanwhile, the SU7 sedan is set for a facelift in 2026 along with a new "executive" trim targeted at business customers who want added luxury and refinement.
Highlights:
- 400,000+ electric cars delivered by end of 2025
- 361,625 deliveries through Nov 2025; December added 50,000+ vehicles
- SU7 sedan launched March 28, 2024; Nov 2025 sales: 12,520
- YU7 SUV launched June 2025; 150,000 units milestone within six months
- Two EREVs and SU7 facelift planned for 2026
Retail footprint and service network
To back up sales, Xiaomi expanded its physical network aggressively. By year-end 2025 the company operated 477 retail stores across 138 Chinese cities and ran 264 service centers to support owners with maintenance and repairs. This dealer-and-service growth has been central to converting Xiaomi's brand recognition into sustainable car ownership.
European expansion: testing in Germany, launch planned for 2027
Xiaomi has confirmed plans to enter Europe in 2027. Testing is already underway in Germany to ensure compliance with stringent European safety and regulatory standards. Entering the European market will put Xiaomi in direct competition with established local brands and global EV players, and will test whether Xiaomi's smartphone-first strategy—high-tech cabins, connectivity and competitive pricing—translates across markets.
Market positioning and outlook
Where Xiaomi stands now is clear: a tech-rooted automaker that rapidly scaled production and sales through a mix of desirable SUVs, value-oriented equipment levels and integrated software. Key questions for 2026–2027 will be how well new EREVs are received, whether the SU7 refresh retains buyer interest, and how Xiaomi adapts vehicles to meet European tastes and regulations.
For car enthusiasts and industry watchers, Xiaomi’s rise is a case study in fast-moving EV market dynamics — and a reminder that capable newcomers can disrupt segments if they marry competitive pricing with strong tech and service networks.
