Chinese company Xiaomi has made an impressive start in the electric vehicle market, managing to deliver over 400,000 cars in 2025, just one year after the debut of its first model. In December, over 50,000 vehicles were sold, and from the beginning of the year to November, deliveries amounted to 361,625 units. The first model, the SU7 sedan, was introduced in March 2024, and mass production deliveries began in April.
The YU7 crossover, Xiaomi's second creation, which was released in June 2025 and is aimed at competing with the Tesla Model Y, is particularly noteworthy. In the six months since its launch, 150,000 of these SUVs have been sold, making the YU7 almost three times more popular than the SU7. In November, the company delivered 46,249 vehicles, nearly doubling sales compared to last year.
Xiaomi is not stopping there: in 2026, it plans to release two new electric vehicles - a large 7-seater and a compact 5-seater SUV, as well as updates to the SU7 with premium and restyled versions. The sharp increase in deliveries shows that Xiaomi is ready to establish itself among the leaders in the electric vehicle segment and challenge the largest players in the market.
