The Xiaomi SU7 finished dead last in the 2025 Q1 China automobile quality ranking in the segment of large BEV sedans. Its performance shows a high risk of potential defects and a high complaint-to-sales ratio. Despite its poor performance in the ranking, the Xiaomi SU7 sold 104,454 units from January to April 2025.
China automobile quality ranking is prepared by the China Automobile Quality Network, a state-run complaints platform created by the China Market Supervision Administration. It accumulates reports and complaints from Chinese car owners about vehicle faults, risks, and defects. These reports are converted into penalty points. The more points, the lower the quality.
