Xiaomi’s updated SU7 crosses 40,000 orders as deliveries ramp up in April 2026

Xiaomi said its updated SU7 sedan has surpassed 40,000 locked orders, adding fresh momentum to the company’s electric-vehicle business as deliveries continue to build in China.

• Locked orders for the updated SU7 have topped 40,000 units.
• Xiaomi said more than 7,000 units had been delivered within nine days of launch.
• The company is expanding its EV lineup as it seeks broader demand beyond a single model.

Strong early demand for the updated SU7

Xiaomi founder, chairman, and CEO Lei Jun said on April 2, 2026, that locked orders for the new SU7 had passed 40,000 units. The company also said total vehicle deliveries in March 2026 exceeded 20,000 units, with more than 7,000 of those coming from the updated SU7 after deliveries began on March 23, 2026.

The figures point to a brisk start for the refreshed sedan, which remains central to Xiaomi’s automotive push. The company has been working to scale its EV business quickly while also broadening its product lineup.

Why the order pace matters

The updated SU7’s early performance matters because it gives Xiaomi another sign that demand remains strong for its car brand even as the market evolves. The company’s broader lineup, including the YU7, has drawn attention in recent months, but Xiaomi appears to be leaning on the SU7 refresh to sustain momentum in 2026.

CarNewsChina reported that Xiaomi has been expanding its EV sales strategy and looking beyond a single breakout model. That includes bringing in experienced auto sales leadership and planning a wider set of vehicles for different customer segments.

What comes next for Xiaomi Auto

According to the report, Xiaomi plans to launch 4 to 6 new vehicles in 2026, spanning both battery-electric and extended-range formats. The company’s stated aim is to serve a broader mix of buyers, including sedan and SUV customers, as well as families that want larger seating configurations.

That makes the updated SU7 more than just a refresh. It is also a test of whether Xiaomi can keep converting attention into sustained deliveries while preparing a larger EV portfolio.

What to Watch

Investors and car buyers will be watching whether Xiaomi can turn early orders for the updated SU7 into steady deliveries through the rest of April 2026. The key question is whether the company can keep demand strong while bringing new models to market later this year.
