Xiaomi

The company’s first car, the SU7 sedan, launched in China in 2023 after roughly three years of development, styled with obvious cues from Porsche and priced deliberately below Tesla’s Model 3. It was an immediate hit, regularly outselling the Model 3 in China on a monthly basis within its first year, and cumulative SU7 deliveries passed 258,000 units by mid 2025.

Xiaomi’s second model, the YU7, an SUV built on the same underlying Modena platform as the SU7, launched in June 2025 and proved even more popular, taking 200,000 pre-orders within three minutes of order books opening, a level of demand that genuinely startled the rest of the industry. By January 2026, the YU7 had overtaken Tesla’s Model Y as China’s best selling SUV in a single month. Xiaomi’s car division delivered more than 80,000 vehicles in a single quarter during 2025, growth of close to 200 percent year on year.

Cars are built at Xiaomi’s own factory in Beijing. The company has stated an ambition to become one of the world’s five largest carmakers, and has continued to invest heavily in the sedan’s development, launching a substantially updated SU7 in March 2026 with a new 800 volt electrical platform, standard LiDAR sensing, and a new performance oriented chassis. Alongside the mainstream range, Xiaomi has also built a genuine performance halo model, the SU7 Ultra, which broke the Nurburgring lap record for a production electric car and has been filmed beating a Ferrari SF90 XX hypercar in a straight line drag race, remarkable results for a company that had never built a car before 2023.

Xiaomi has not yet launched in the UK or anywhere else in Europe. The company has repeatedly confirmed plans to enter the European market in 2027, and opened a new research and development centre in Munich in 2025 focused specifically on performance vehicles and European market preparation, a strong signal of intent even before any cars are actually on sale here. A third model, a larger range extended SUV called the YU9, has also been confirmed for eventual release, though it is considered less likely to be an early priority for European markets than the SU7 and YU7.

Because nothing has launched in the UK yet, the specifications, pricing and warranty terms on this page and the model pages that follow are all based on the Chinese market, where Xiaomi’s cars are actually on sale today, clearly noted as such. Expect UK specific details, including pricing, trim levels and warranty terms, to differ once Xiaomi’s 2027 European launch actually takes shape.
