Xiaomi YU7 Hits Record Deliveries in November as SU7 Sales Continue to Decline

By bike_ev_admin December 9, 2025 3 min read

Xiaomi recorded another strong month in November, delivering 46,249 electric vehicles, according to new data from the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA). While the total marks another month above the 40,000 threshold, it represents a 4.94% decline from October, the company’s first month-on-month drop since July.

The shift is largely explained by the growing dominance of the Xiaomi YU7, the brand’s new all-electric SUV launched in June. The YU7 reached 33,729 deliveries in November, slightly above October’s figure and enough to set a new record for the model.

YU7 Growth Comes at the Expense of SU7

Xiaomi’s first car, the SU7 sedan, saw deliveries fall sharply again:

12,520 units delivered in November
Down 16.49% from October
Fourth straight month of decline

Despite the slowdown, the SU7 remains Xiaomi’s best-selling vehicle for 2024 with 247,041 units delivered from January to November, compared to 114,584 for the YU7.

The market clearly favors the newer SUV, but cumulative sales still heavily favor the sedan.

YU7: Nearly 5 Meters Long and More Powerful Than the SU7 Max

Official specifications published in China’s regulatory catalog offer the first detailed look at the upcoming YU7:

Dimensions

Length: 4,999 mm
Width: ~2,000 mm
Height: 1,700+ mm (approx.)
Wheelbase: ~3,000 mm

At 4,999 mm, the YU7 is 2 mm longer than the SU7 sedan. Despite its SUV form factor, the sloping coupe-style roofline keeps the design sleek and sporty—drawing comparisons to the Porsche Macan Electric, just as the SU7 was often compared to the Porsche Taycan.

Dual-Motor AWD Only, 508 kW Power Output

The YU7 will launch exclusively as an all-wheel drive model, with two large electric motors:

Front motor: 220 kW
Rear motor: 288 kW
Total output: 508 kW (681 hp)

This makes the YU7 more powerful than the SU7 Max, which peaks at 495 kW.

The top speed is listed at 253 km/h, placing the YU7 between the SU7 (210 km/h) and the SU7 Max (265 km/h).

Vehicle Weight

2,405 kg, according to the registration filing.

Battery: Ternary NMC Pack From CATL

The official filing confirms the YU7 uses a ternary (NMC) lithium-ion pack supplied by CATL.
Battery capacity is not yet disclosed, but the structure suggests:

No entry-level LFP version
Battery sizes likely 94 kWh or 101 kWh, matching the top SU7 trims

Range figures will be published once the model is approved.

Brake System Questions Remain

Recent viral videos from China have shown SU7 brake fade during track sessions, sparking questions about the thermal capacity of this brake system under high-performance driving conditions.
It’s still unclear whether the YU7 will receive hardware upgrades to address this issue, despite its higher power output.

Regulatory Approval and Market Launch Timeline

China’s MIIT published the full YU7 registration dossier on December 10, opening a one-week public feedback period.
Inclusion in the official catalog is the final step before the YU7 is cleared for sale.

Xiaomi confirms:

Market launch: June–July 2025
Prices: Not yet announced
Sales targets: Not disclosed

The brand only began SU7 deliveries in April but already exceeded 100,000 units by November, beating its original annual goal. Xiaomi now aims for 130,000 SU7 deliveries in 2024.
