Xiaomi sold 10,800 electric vehicles in its domestic market between September 15 and 21 — its second best weekly result ever.
Last week’s figures came in only below the record of 11,900 EVs registered in the last seven days of August.
Registration data shared on Chinese social media this Tuesday showed that sales increased by 10.3% from the previous week’s 9,790 units.
The first week of September was the company’s second slowest sales week of the third quarter, after which the tech giant’s sales rebounded.
Xiaomi sold 5,400 YU7 SUVs in the first week of September, ranking below Tesla‘s Model Y — the best-selling SUV, which represented around 11,000 units if considering both the five-seat and six-seat iterations.
The YU7 was launched in late June and has a starting price of 253,500 yuan ($35,300). Deliveries of its second model started in the first week of July.
The estimated delivery time for Xiaomi vehicles currently starts from a minimum waiting period of 38 weeks — as production is only starting to ramp up.
Recently, spy shots have surfaced of the upcoming Xiaomi ‘Kunlun,’ the brand’s first range-extended SUV, which is expected to be officially launched in 2026.
The model was first seen in mid-July, in spy photos that showed that the vehicle has three rows. The model appears to be over 5,200 mm long, which will position it as a large SUV.
It will likely compete with recently launched six-seat SUVs in China, such as the Nio ES8 — which measures 5,280 mm in length —, the Onvo L90 and Tesla‘s Model Y L.
Registrations of its debut model SU7 also represented 5,400 vehicles.
In August, the model was outperformed by its main competitor, the Tesla Model 3, for the first time since the beginning of 2025.
The two sedans have been have been successively outperforming each other in weekly sales. However, with a jump of 24.5% to 6,060 units, Tesla’s model ranked first last week.
Last week, it was announced that Xiaomi will issue an over-the-air (OTA) software update to fix a flaw in its advanced driver-assistance system, covering nearly 116,900 of its SU7 electric sedans.
The recall affects standard versions of the SU7 produced between February 6, 2024, and August 30 this year, according to a notice on the State Administration for Market Regulation’s website.
The recall represents almost 40% of the SU7 units Xiaomi has sold since deliveries began in March last year.
