Xiaomi Auto, the electric vehicle (EV) subsidiary of tech giant Xiaomi, has announced on Weibo that it has achieved a production milestone of 500,000 vehicles. The achievement comes just 602 days – after the company made its EV debut with the Xiaomi SU7.
As a latecomer to the Chinese EV sector, the growth of Xiaomi Auto over the past year and a half has been among the fastest in the country. Demand was so strong that the company initially faced production shortages during the SU7’s launch. According to CarNewsChina, delivery wait times for the model once climbed as high as 62 weeks.
The report adds that Xiaomi has since managed to reduce waiting periods to between six and 31 weeks, while the Ultra variant now has an estimated wait time of six to nine weeks.
Xiaomi Auto delivered a total of 135,000 vehicles in 2024, according to CNEVPost. The company stated during its third-quarter earnings call on 18 November 2025 that the brand was on track to meet its 2025 delivery target of 350,000 units, and has now raised the target to 400,000 vehicles.
This doesn’t seem to be a stretch, as data from CNEVPost shows that Xiaomi Auto had already delivered 315,376 units as of October 2025 — putting it within reach of its revised goal.

Notably, Xiaomi has also been on a roll with its marketing efforts. The hotter Xiaomi SU7 Ultra has proven to be a highly capable performance EV, shattering lap records at the Nürburgring and surpassing the likes of Porsche and Rimac. Xiaomi has also become a premium partner of the legendary Green Hell, even securing a corner of the circuit named “Xiaomi Curve”.
The SU7 Ultra made such an impact that even Ferrari reportedly purchased one to benchmark against its upcoming second EV.
While the SU7 laid the foundation for Xiaomi Auto’s early success, it was the new Xiaomi YU7 electric SUV that pushed demand to a new level. The model saw an enormous surge at launch, securing over 315,900 orders in China within just 72 hours, and was also the model that became the landmark 500,000th vehicle produced by Xiaomi.

Carrying over much of the SU7’s sleek and attractive design, the YU7 serves as a more practical counterpart to its sedan sibling. In its performance-focused Max variant, the SUV delivers 691 hp and 866 Nm from a dual-motor setup, enabling a 0-100 km/h sprint of 3.23 seconds. It also features a 101.7 kWh ternary lithium battery that provides up to 760 km of range (CLTC).
While global fans wait for a chance to buy Xiaomi Auto’s much-hyped EVs, the company has confirmed that exports of the SU7 and YU7 to Europe will only begin in 2027. When that happens, Xiaomi could experience another surge in demand, potentially paving the way toward its first million-unit milestone.
