Chinese tech giant and carmaker Xiaomi is reportedly cutting delivery waiting timesof its vehicles by up to two months.
Citing sources, local outlet Lanjinger reported on Thursday that sales staff from the company said the “Xiaomi Car App will be upgraded on Thursday’s afternoon.
“Previously, adjustments to the delivery schedule were mostly 1–2 weeks at a time,” the sources noted.
However, the carmaker is ramping up capacity, allowing significantly shorter waiting times.
“After this App upgrade, some models may be delivered up to 6 weeks earlier than originally scheduled, with a maximum of up to 2 months earlier,” the sources added.
Xiaomi has faced industry record demand for both its models — the SU7 and the YU7 — for which deliveries currently have a waiting time of between 38 to 52 weeks.
The YU7 SUV, launched in July, broke all previous records for a car launch in China by securing 200,000 pre-orders in just three minutes.
In just 18 hours, the YU7 had 240,000 locked-in orders.
In the past two months, deliveries in the domestic market exceeded 30,000 units. The EV maker does not provide monthly breakdowns, instead reporting the total number of vehicles delivered at the end of each quarter.
The Beijing-based company, which began deliveries of its second model, the YU7 sedan, in early July, crossed the milestone of 300,000 cumulative deliveries less than 18 months after handing over its first vehicle.
For 2025, Xiaomi‘s founder and CEO Lei Jun raised earlier this year the company’s delivery target from 300,000 to 350,000 units.
Considering the reported figures so far, the EV maker has delivered over 217,171 units from January 1 to August 31 — meaning it has completed 62% of the guidance.
According to the sales staff, the company now aims to ramp up delivery due to its increase in production capacity.
Last week, Xiaomi had its second best sales week ever in China — with 10,800 electric vehicles registered between September 15 and 21.
The figures came in only below the record 11,900 EVs sold in the last seven days of August.
Xiaomi recently announced it 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.
