- Xiaomi EV's current deliveries primarily consist of the YU7 SUV, as the SU7 sedan approaches a model refresh.
- Xiaomi EV delivered a record 50,212 vehicles in December.
Xiaomi EV saw a decline in deliveries last month as the SU7 electric sedan prepares for a facelift.
The Xiaomi (HKG: 1810, OTCMKTS: XIACY) electric vehicle (EV) unit delivered over 39,000 vehicles in January, according to a Sunday Weibo post.
As usual, Xiaomi EV did not disclose exact figures, which are expected to be revealed later this month in a China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) report.
Following past practices, the phrasing "over 39,000 units" implies a range between 39,000 and 40,000 units. Xiaomi EV delivered a record 50,212 vehicles in December.
The SU7 will soon undergo a facelift, with current deliveries primarily consisting of the YU7 SUV (sport utility vehicle), said Lei Jun, Xiaomi's founder, chairman, and CEO.
A limited number of YU7 display models and stock vehicles remain available, and customers purchasing now can expect delivery before the Chinese New Year, Lei added.
China's 2026 Spring Festival begins on February 17, with the holiday period running from February 15 to 23.
Xiaomi EV began pre-sales for the updated SU7 on January 7, with a starting price of RMB 229,900 ($33,070), representing a RMB 14,000 or 6.48% increase from the previous generation's RMB 215,900 starting price.
The new-generation SU7 boasts a range of up to 902 kilometers and comes standard with LiDAR across all variants.
Revealing the updated SU7 at the beginning of the month means its contribution to monthly sales will be limited, as potential buyers may wait for the upgraded model.
Early 2026 marks a traditional slow season for China's overall auto market, compounded by challenges from reduced policy support.
On January 15, Xiaomi introduced a 7-year low-interest financing incentive for all YU7 variants. Lei described this as the company's urgent response to Tesla's similar move.
