- Xiaomi EV plans to launch the SU7 sedan's facelift, an executive edition of the SU7, and two extended-range SUVs in 2026, according to a local media report.
- Xiaomi EV anticipates substantial production volumes for both its seven-seat and five-seat extended-range SUVs.
Xiaomi EV (HKG: 1810, OTCMKTS: XIACY), the electric vehicle (EV) division of Xiaomi, is reportedly set to launch four new models in 2026, and will make its first foray into the extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) segment.
Xiaomi EV's preliminary plan for next year involves launching four new models: a facelifted SU7 sedan, an executive version of the SU7, a five-seat extended-range SUV, and a seven-seat extended-range SUV, local media outlet 36Kr reported today, citing industry sources.
The SU7 facelift and extended-range seven-seater SUV are tentatively scheduled for release in the first half of the year, while the SU7 executive edition and extended-range five-seater SUV are planned for the second half of 2026 through year-end, a source said.
Previous reports have mentioned Xiaomi EV's plans to introduce an EREV model, with spy photos frequently circulating on social media.
Earlier today, Han Lu, an automotive blogger with nearly 9 million followers on Weibo, shared two spy photos of the Xiaomi SUV, noting its substantial size.
Xiaomi's seven-seat extended-range SUV, internally codenamed "Kunlun," is positioned similarly to Li Auto's (NASDAQ: LI, HKG: 2015) Li L9 and Leapmotor's (HKG: 9863) D19, targeting the family market, the 36Kr report noted.
The mid-to-large-size SUV will feature a battery pack exceeding 70 kWh, delivering a pure-electric range of 400-500 kilometers, the report said.
The company anticipates substantial production volumes for both its seven-seat and five-seat extended-range SUVs, the report cited a source as saying.
The SU7 executive edition is a long-wheelbase sedan based on the SU7, featuring a significantly extended wheelbase and many comfort enhancements in the rear seating area, a source said.
On December 17, Han said on Weibo that the facelifted Xiaomi SU7 would be launched in the second quarter of next year with multiple upgrades, accompanied by a price increase of RMB 20,000 ($2,860).
Xiaomi EV officially launched the SU7 electric sedan on March 28, 2024, positioning it as a competitor to Tesla's (NASDAQ: TSLA) Model 3 and marking the company's first vehicle model.
The model currently starts at RMB 215,900, undercutting Tesla's Model 3's RMB 235,500 starting price by RMB 19,600.
Beyond the SU7 sedan series, Xiaomi EV also offers the YU7 electric SUV.
On December 10, another domestic media outlet, Sina Tech, reported that Xiaomi EV would next launch three models: the YU9 large SUV, the YU7 GT sports SUV, and the SU7 L sedan.
The YU9, internally codenamed "Kunlun," will be Xiaomi EV's first EREV model, according to Sina Tech.
As a latecomer to China's EV market, Xiaomi EV has achieved remarkable success in a short time.
From January to November, Xiaomi EV delivered 361,625 vehicles, bringing its cumulative deliveries to 501,096 units, according to data compiled by CnEVPost.
Xiaomi EV surpassed its 2025 delivery target of 350,000 vehicles as early as December 2.
