Xiaomi has turned its updated SU7 sedan into a rolling tech demo. A live teardown by CEO Lei Jun put the 2026 refresh under the microscope, highlighting how the company is trying to keep its first EV fresh in a brutally competitive Chinese market.
Xiaomi has withdrawn a controversial SU7 Ultra software restriction that would have capped the electric sedan’s full output unless drivers met track-lap requirements, reversing a rollout that drew immediate criticism from owners and performance-car buyers.
Xiaomi’s SU7 Ultra has landed in Gran Turismo 7, extending the electric performance sedan’s reach from Chinese showrooms and track news into one of the world’s best-known driving games.
Xiaomi has put the YU7 back on display in April 2026 with a new official design showcase, keeping the electric SUV front and center as the company works through strong demand and ongoing delivery pressure.
Xiaomi has launched the next-generation SU7 electric sedan with standard LiDAR, up to 902 km of CLTC range, and a sharper price position in China.
Xiaomi has launched the updated SU7 in China, making LiDAR standard across the lineup and giving its breakout electric sedan a more advanced chassis package as the brand widens its automotive push.
Xiaomi has reversed a software update that limited the SU7 Ultra’s output, restoring the company’s flagship performance sedan to its full advertised power after a sharp owner backlash. The move closes a brief but visible dispute over how much control an automaker can retain over delivered performance in software-defined EVs.
Xiaomi has started delivering the refreshed SU7 sedan, a key step that moves the company from product launch to execution as it tries to sustain momentum in China’s crowded EV market. The shift matters because the updated model is now being judged on build quality, supply-chain discipline and how quickly Xiaomi can convert orders into cars on the road.
Xiaomi says the refreshed SU7 reached 4,000 to 5,000 deliveries in its first week after launch, giving an early read on how fast the company can convert orders into vehicles as the sedan enters full rollout.
Xiaomi’s YU7 electric SUV is showing shorter delivery wait times in China, a sign the company may be moving beyond the launch-driven order surge that made the model one of the country’s hottest EVs in early 2026.
