Xiaomi Auto Deliveries Surpass 800,000 Ahead of Sky Nomad

Xiaomi Auto deliveries have surpassed 800,000 vehicles, founder, chairman and CEO Lei Jun said on Weibo on Monday, marking a major cumulative milestone about 29 months after the company began deliveries of the SU7 sedan in April 2024. The announcement came hours before Xiaomi's fall product launch, where the company is scheduled to introduce the Sky Nomad lineup of three extended-range SUVs. The latest milestone also shows how quickly deliveries have accelerated: cumulative volume passed 700,000 in May 2026, meaning the latest 100,000 vehicles were delivered in roughly 3.5 months. The timing places the new SUV lineup at the center of Xiaomi's effort to sustain growth through the rest of the year.

As of the end of July, Xiaomi Auto had delivered 767,630 vehicles, including 499,175 SU7 sedans and 268,455 YU7 SUVs. The company also said August deliveries again exceeded 30,000 vehicles, extending a run of five consecutive months above that threshold, although it did not provide an exact August figure. During the first seven months of 2026, deliveries reached 216,322 vehicles, an increase of 14.83% from the same period a year earlier. Using 30,000 as the lower-bound estimate for August produces an estimated 246,322 vehicles for the first eight months, providing a basis for assessing the company's remaining annual delivery requirement.

Xiaomi Auto Monthly Deliveries 2024-2026

Xiaomi Auto's monthly delivery history shows a sharp increase from 2024 into 2025 and 2026, although the pace required to reach the latest annual objective is substantially higher. The company is targeting 550,000 vehicles for the year, while the estimated first-eight-month total represents about 44.8% of that goal. Reaching the target would require an average of roughly 75,900 deliveries per month from September through December. That monthly requirement is about 2.4 times Xiaomi Auto's actual July volume of 31,267 vehicles, making the final four months particularly important for production, demand generation and the contribution of newly introduced models.

The Sky Nomad lineup is therefore important to Xiaomi's sales-growth plans. The initial range consists of the N70 Pro, N70 Max and flagship seven-seat N90 Max SUV, representing Xiaomi's first move into the extended-range electric vehicle segment. The N90 Max carries a pre-sales price of 299,900 yuan, equivalent to about $44,240, while the N70 Max is priced at 259,900 yuan. The N70 Pro was not included in the earlier pre-sales announcement. Lei said the extended-range vehicle project began in March 2023 and has undergone 3.5 years of development, underscoring the length of the company's preparation for this product expansion.

Lei Jun said extended-range and battery-electric technology should not be viewed as inherently superior to one another, arguing that the decisive factor is the overall product experience. Xiaomi says the N70 Max can deliver up to 505 km of CLTC battery range, while the N90 Max can achieve a combined range of 1,705 km with a full tank and full charge. The N70 Pro is rated at fuel consumption as low as 5.7 L/100 km when its battery is depleted. These specifications position the Sky Nomad models around different use cases within the SUV market, while giving Xiaomi another powertrain approach as it expands its vehicle portfolio.

The challenge is that Xiaomi is entering the extended-range segment while demand for that technology has been weakening in China. Retail sales of extended-range electric vehicles fell 15.35% year over year to 535,000 units during the first seven months of 2026, according to the China Passenger Car Association. That contraction means Xiaomi will need its new SUVs to compete for demand in a segment that is becoming smaller rather than simply benefiting from category-wide growth. The models' pricing, range claims and product experience will therefore matter as Xiaomi seeks to add volume while maintaining momentum from its existing sedan and SUV lineup.

The fall launch also extends Xiaomi's broader device ecosystem strategy. Alongside the Sky Nomad vehicles, the event is scheduled to introduce the Xiaomi 18 Fold foldable smartphone and Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max tablet, with both described as the first devices powered by Xiaomi's Xring O3 chip. The timing places Xiaomi's event three days ahead of Apple's September 10 fall launch, where the US consumer electronics company is expected to unveil its first foldable smartphone. For Xiaomi, the launch therefore combines automotive expansion with major consumer-electronics announcements, increasing the strategic importance of the event across several product categories.

The latest milestone strengthens Xiaomi Auto's position as it moves from an early-stage vehicle operation toward a broader portfolio spanning sedans, SUVs and extended-range models. The immediate priority is closing the large gap between its estimated eight-month volume and the 550,000-vehicle annual target, while the Sky Nomad launch must build demand in a shrinking EREV market without weakening the momentum of the SU7 and YU7. China is the most relevant market for these developments, and competitors will be watching whether Xiaomi can convert its growing delivery base, new SUV offerings and product ecosystem into sustained sales acceleration during the final months of 2026.

Industry Impact & Outlook

Xiaomi Auto's 800,000-vehicle milestone raises the competitive stakes in China's passenger-vehicle market as the company broadens its lineup into extended-range SUVs. The Sky Nomad models could give Xiaomi another route to increase deliveries and address consumers seeking longer combined driving range, but the 15.35% decline in Chinese EREV retail sales shows that additional volume will have to be won in a contracting segment. Meeting the 550,000-vehicle annual target will therefore depend on whether the new SUVs can generate incremental demand while existing SU7 and YU7 sales remain resilient, making pricing, product experience and execution important factors through the final months of 2026.
