Xiaomi hits major milestone with 400,000 electric cars delivered in 2025

02 January 2026

Xiaomi just finished a massive year - after entering the market with its first car only in 2024, the brand has already delivered more than 400,000 electric cars by the end of 2025. This is a huge achievement for a company that most people used to know only for making smartphones.

A strong finish in December helped the company reach these record-breaking numbers. During the last month of 2025, Xiaomi delivered over 50,000 EVs. The company did not release the exact final number for the month, but the total for the first eleven months of the year was already at 361,625 vehicles. The high volume in December pushed the company well past its original targets.

Xiaomi started its journey with the SU7 sedan, which launched on March 28, 2024. The car is known for its sleek design and high-tech interior, and in November 2025 alone, the company managed to sell 12,520 of these sedans. The SU7 was the first model to hit the streets, but it soon had a big brother to help boost sales.

In June 2025, Xiaomi launched its second model, the YU7. This SUV was built to compete directly with the popular Tesla Model Y. It seems the strategy worked. Only six months after its launch, Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun announced that the Xiaomi YU7 reached a delivery milestone of 150,000 units. In November, this SUV accounted for 33,729 of the company's total deliveries, showing that many buyers now prefer the larger utility vehicle over the sedan.

Xiaomi is not slowing down. For 2026, the company plans to launch two brand-new models. Interestingly, these will be EREVs (Extended Range Electric Vehicles) - they will use a small gasoline engine to charge the battery while driving. One of these will be a large 7-seater SUV, while the other will be a smaller 5-seater SUV.

Along with the new models, the original SU7 will get some attention. Xiaomi plans to release a facelifted version of the sedan in 2026 to keep the design fresh. There will also be a new "executive" version of the SU7, likely aimed at business professionals who want more luxury.

For now, you can only buy a Xiaomi car in China, but that will change soon. The company has confirmed plans to expand into Europe in 2027. Testing is already happening in Germany to make sure the vehicles meet European safety and driving standards, putting Xiaomi in direct competition with famous European car brands on their own home turf.

The company has grown its physical presence quickly to support its sales. By the end of 2025, Xiaomi had 477 retail stores across 138 cities in China. They also built 264 service centers to help owners with repairs and maintenance. As the brand prepares for the future, its combination of smartphone-like technology and competitive pricing continues to attract thousands of new drivers every month.
