In an EV market the place so many firms are attempting to interrupt by means of, make their mark, and stand out from the group, one new entrant has jumped forward of the remainder prior to now two years. That firm is Xiaomi, after all. Higher recognized for its telephones, it determined to get into the EV recreation, and launched its first mannequin 22 months in the past. Ever since then, the model has been on fireplace.
In reality, in simply 22 months, Xiaomi has already offered 600,000 EVs!
I don’t suppose the 600,000th Xiaomi EV drove out of the manufacturing unit after which throughout a large open area. But it surely’s a fairly image.
Xiaomi is doing so nicely that its YU7 mannequin (pictured above) was the highest promoting mannequin of any type in China final month. General, the corporate offered 39,002 automobiles in January, however these have been nearly totally the YU7. Xiaomi has offered 150,000 items of the YU7 inside simply 6 months of its launch, which is greater than twice pretty much as good as the corporate’s first mannequin, the SU7 — and that was an thrilling block buster of a launch!
“In 2025, Xiaomi EV’s annual deliveries exceeded 410,000 items, considerably surpassing its inside goal and putting it amongst NEV gamers with robust progress. December 2025 was a standout month, with deliveries topping 50,000 items, marking the model’s highest single-month consequence since getting into the EV market,” CarNewsChina writes.
Count on extra enjoyable to come back quickly from the model, too. A brand new model of the Xiaomi SU7 has been noticed at a vendor sporting 902 km (560 miles) of vary. (The lower-range trim has 720 km, or 447 miles, of vary.) Now you can pre-order the mannequin, with costs anticipated to be … maintain your breath … 229,900 yuan ($33,315) to 309,900 yuan ($44,910). Are you kidding me?!?! This up to date mannequin is predicted to be coming in March, so the corporate ought to get one other increase in gross sales then.
Because the title signifies, Xiaomi is now concentrating on 550,000 gross sales this yr!
With 37,869 items of the YU7 delivered in January, the mannequin had about 21,000 extra gross sales than its preliminary rival, the Tesla Mannequin Y (16,845 gross sales), which was in twentieth. Will the Xiaomi YU7 beat the Tesla Mannequin Y in China in 2026?…
