Xiaomi’s upgraded SU7 reaches 26,000 deliveries as YU7 GT nears launch

Xiaomi’s updated SU7 sedan is already finding buyers in volume, and the company is wasting little time pressing the next performance model into view. On April 24, 2026, Xiaomi said it had delivered 26,000 units of the upgraded SU7 series, while chief executive Lei Jun said the brand had 60,000 locked orders for the new-generation sedan as of April 23.

Xiaomi SU7 delivery pace builds after the March refresh

The delivery figure gives the refreshed SU7 a real commercial foothold only weeks after its March launch. That matters because Xiaomi is not treating the sedan as a halo product alone; it is trying to turn the SU7 into a high-volume pillar for its electric-car business, with enough demand to justify a broader model rollout rather than a one-car experiment.

Lei also said the company plans to launch the YU7 GT series at the end of May, extending the SU7-era momentum into a more overtly performance-oriented nameplate. Xiaomi has not disclosed full technical details in this latest update, but the timing points to a quick cadence between launches as the company builds out its EV range.

Locked orders show the SU7 still has a waiting audience

The 60,000 locked orders figure suggests the upgraded sedan still has a substantial queue behind it. In a market where launch buzz can fade quickly, that order count is a stronger signal than social-media attention alone: it indicates customers have committed to the car after the initial reveal and pricing cycle, not simply admired it from afar.

For buyers, that kind of demand can affect delivery timing, dealer or direct-sales availability, and how Xiaomi balances output between the SU7 and the next model it wants to push. It also helps explain why the company is leaning into a product line that now appears to stretch beyond the sedan it used to introduce itself to the EV market.

YU7 GT adds a sharper edge to Xiaomi’s lineup

The YU7 GT launch date gives Xiaomi a clear second act at the end of May, and the performance branding suggests the company wants more than a family SUV or crossover derivative. If Xiaomi can pair the SU7’s early traction with a credible GT-badged follow-up, it would move the brand closer to the kind of performance-led identity that has helped established automakers build enthusiast loyalty.

For now, the important detail is operational, not theoretical: Xiaomi has a refreshed sedan in delivery, a large book of locked orders, and another model on deck within weeks. That is the kind of cadence that can turn a fast-starting EV program into a real lineup.
