Xiaomi has wrapped up an extraordinary year, marking a stunning rise in the electric vehicle market. After launching its very first car in 2024, the company has already delivered more than 400,000 electric vehicles by the end of 2025. For a brand long associated primarily with smartphones and consumer electronics, this achievement signals a serious and successful entry into the automotive world.
A strong performance in December played a major role in reaching this milestone. Xiaomi delivered over 50,000 EVs in the final month of 2025 alone. While the company has not disclosed the exact December figure, deliveries for the first eleven months had already reached 361,625 units. The impressive end-of-year surge pushed Xiaomi well beyond its original sales targets.
The journey began with the launch of the Xiaomi SU7 sedan on March 28, 2024. Praised for its sleek exterior and technology-packed interior, the SU7 quickly gained traction. In November 2025 alone, Xiaomi sold 12,520 units of the sedan. While the SU7 laid the foundation for Xiaomi’s automotive ambitions, a second model soon accelerated the company’s growth.
In June 2025, Xiaomi introduced the YU7, an SUV designed to take on the Tesla Model Y directly. The strategy clearly paid off. Just six months after launch, Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun announced that YU7 deliveries had surpassed 150,000 units. By November, the SUV accounted for 33,729 deliveries, highlighting a growing consumer preference for larger, more versatile vehicles over traditional sedans.
Looking ahead, Xiaomi shows no signs of slowing down. The company plans to launch two brand-new models in 2026, both using extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) technology. These vehicles will feature a small gasoline engine that recharges the battery while driving. One model will be a large seven-seat SUV, while the other will be a more compact five-seat SUV.
Xiaomi will also refresh its existing lineup. A facelifted version of the SU7 sedan is scheduled for 2026 to keep the design competitive, alongside a new “executive” variant aimed at buyers seeking a more premium and luxurious experience.
For now, Xiaomi vehicles are available exclusively in China, but global expansion is on the horizon. The company has confirmed plans to enter the European market in 2027. Testing is already underway in Germany to ensure compliance with European safety and performance standards—setting the stage for Xiaomi to compete directly with established European automakers on their home ground.
