Xiaomi EV February Deliveries Drop Sharply as SU7 Production Transition Begins

The latest data on Xiaomi EV February deliveries highlights a significant slowdown as the company navigates a major product transition within its electric vehicle lineup. Shipment figures declined sharply during the month as production of the first-generation SU7 sedan ended and the company prepared to introduce its next-generation model. While deliveries softened overall, Xiaomi’s recently launched YU7 sport utility vehicle continued to dominate the company’s sales mix, helping maintain overall market presence in China’s highly competitive EV sector.

February Delivery Figures Reflect Production Transition

According to figures released by the China Passenger Car Association, Xiaomi EV delivered 20,414 vehicles in February. The number represents a 13.97 percent decline compared with 23,728 units delivered in the same month last year. On a sequential basis, deliveries fell even more sharply, plunging 47.66 percent from the 39,002 vehicles reported in January. Seasonal factors also played a role, as the Chinese New Year holiday typically slows logistics and consumer activity across the country’s automotive industry.

YU7 SUV Carries Majority of Sales

The YU7 SUV dominated the company’s delivery mix during the month, accounting for 20,196 vehicles or roughly 97.73 percent of all shipments. Introduced in June 2025, the model is widely viewed as a competitor to Tesla’s Model Y in China’s fast-growing electric SUV segment. As Xiaomi restructures its sedan lineup, the YU7 has become the company’s primary sales driver, helping stabilize deliveries while the next generation of its SU7 sedan is prepared for launch.

SU7 Deliveries Drop to Record Low

Shipments of the SU7 electric sedan fell dramatically in February, reaching just 218 units, the lowest monthly figure since the model was introduced. This represented a 99.08 percent year-on-year decline and an 80.76 percent decrease compared with January levels. The drop reflects Xiaomi’s decision to halt production of the first-generation SU7 while preparing factories for the upcoming upgraded version, which is expected to replace the original sedan in the company’s portfolio.

Next-Generation SU7 Launch Moves Forward

Xiaomi founder, chairman and chief executive officer Lei Jun announced that the official launch of the updated SU7 sedan will take place earlier than initially planned. The release, originally scheduled for April, has been moved forward to this month as preparations for mass production accelerate. The existing SU7 lineup has already achieved cumulative deliveries exceeding 381,000 units since its market debut, highlighting strong demand for the model despite the current transition phase.

Industry reports indicate the Xiaomi EV factory is currently shipping roughly 800 SU7 vehicles per day, suggesting that production capacity could reach approximately 16,000 units in March as manufacturing ramps up. Pre-sales for the refreshed SU7 began on January 7 with a starting price of 229,900 yuan, representing a 6.48 percent increase compared with the previous model’s 215,900 yuan base price.

The updated pricing brings the sedan closer to the starting cost of Tesla’s Model 3, narrowing the gap to around 5,600 yuan. However, it remains common practice in China’s EV market for final retail prices to come in lower than presale figures, leaving uncertainty around the official launch price and adding anticipation as Xiaomi prepares to expand its electric vehicle lineup.
