Xiaomi says the updated SU7 has cleared 40,000 locked orders as deliveries ramp in China

Xiaomi says locked orders for its updated SU7 sedan have climbed past 40,000 units, giving the refreshed electric car an early sales marker just weeks after its March 19 launch in China. The company also said the model delivered more than 7,000 vehicles in its first nine days on the market, a sign that production is now translating into customer handovers at a meaningful pace.

SU7 order momentum turns into deliveries

The numbers matter because they show the updated SU7 is not only drawing interest at launch but is also moving through the manufacturing and logistics process quickly enough to reach buyers. Xiaomi launched the revised sedan on March 19, and customer deliveries began on March 23, leaving the company less than two weeks to turn reservations into real-world registrations and handovers.

The locked-order figure is especially important in China’s EV market, where launch-week demand can be intense but only sustained deliveries prove commercial traction. Xiaomi has not released a detailed trim-by-trim breakdown in the latest update, but the overall pace suggests the brand is maintaining momentum as it scales the refreshed model.

Why the updated SU7 matters to Xiaomi’s EV business

The updated SU7 is Xiaomi’s latest attempt to keep its fast-growing electric vehicle business in front of rivals that are also refreshing their midsize sedan lineups. In March, the company positioned the car as a broader hardware and software upgrade, with the new model family spanning Standard, Pro and Max variants.

For Xiaomi, the latest order and delivery figures are less about headline sales bragging rights than about demonstrating execution. In EVs, a strong launch can fade quickly if deliveries lag. By contrast, Xiaomi’s early numbers indicate the company is already moving beyond deposits and into production-backed commercialization.

What the March launch says about near-term demand

Car buyers in China have already shown an appetite for Xiaomi’s electric lineup, and the updated SU7 appears to be benefiting from that brand recognition. The company said the refreshed sedan accumulated 15,000 orders in 34 minutes at launch, then kept adding locked orders over the following weeks as deliveries began.

That combination of rapid reservations and early handovers suggests Xiaomi is entering a more operationally demanding phase: sustaining throughput, managing customer expectations and proving that its EV factory can keep up with demand after the initial surge. The next test is whether the company can maintain that pace through the rest of the second quarter.
