Xiaomi has received nearly 100,000 pre-orders for its updated SU7 within 15 days of opening small deposits on January 7, 2026. The pre-sale price of 229,900 yuan (32,500 USD) is 14,000 yuan (1,980 USD) higher than the previous model. The new-generation SU7 is set to launch officially in April 2026, with marketing having started three months earlier, as CLS reported.
Sales staff at multiple Xiaomi stores in Beijing reported order volumes ranging from around 200 to over 400 per store. In Shanghai and Wuhan, individual dealerships have also surpassed 100 orders. With 477 stores nationwide, Xiaomi estimates pre-orders are nearing 100,000 units.
With the new-generation SU7 now in pre-sales as of January 2026, the previous-year SU7 is transitioning to an inventory-clearing phase. Dealerships are currently selling these prior models as ready stock and are no longer accepting custom configuration orders. Xiaomi has reprioritized production to support more SU7 units while allocating capacity for the new-generation SU7, aiming for a smooth transition between model years and stable supply chain operations.
Previously, Xiaomi faced delivery delays, particularly with the Xiaomi YU7, which at one point took over a year to be delivered. To mitigate similar issues, the company implemented an early small-deposit system for the SU7. Sales personnel indicated that pre-orders are being used to analyze demand and manage supply chain inventories, including critical components, to avoid extended waiting times for customers.
The new-generation SU7 includes upgrades in driving assistance and battery range. The model features a silicon carbide high-voltage platform with explicitly marked 752V and 897V values, laser radar standard across all variants, 700 TOPS of computing power for intelligent driving, and a CLTC-rated range of 902 kilometers. Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun conducted three live-streamed sessions in January 2026 to promote the pre-order period.
In 2025, Xiaomi delivered 411,800 vehicles, exceeding its annual target by 17%. Looking ahead to 2026, the company aims for 550,000 deliveries and plans to release two new models: the pre-ordered SU7 and an unannounced YU7 GT. Reports of a potential range-extender variant remain unconfirmed. Since its initial launch in April 2024, the Xiaomi SU7 has sold nearly 400,000 units, continuing to play a central role in the company’s delivery strategies as it transitions into 2026.
