Xiaomi will only consider selling cars outside China from 2027 as it has to focus first on high domestic demand for its SU7 sedan and YU7 SUV, CEO Lei Jun has said, according to a Reuters report.
In China, the SU7 has been outselling the Tesla Model 3 on a monthly basis since December and the YU7 amassed some 240,000 orders within 18 hours of its launch. The waiting period for the YU7? Over a year, Xiaomi told customers, which launched a wave of complaints. “We’ll strive to ramp up capacity,” Lei said without elaborating.

Launched on June 26, the YU7 (above) comes in three flavours: the base YU7 at RMB253,500 (about RM149k), the YU7 Pro at RMB279,900 (RM165k) and the YU7 Max at RMB329,900 (RM194k). The YU7 Max is the output king with 691 PS and 866 Nm of torque; the range king is the base YU7 with 835 km CLTC – learn all about the SUV here.
Meanwhile, the SU7, Xiaomi’s first car, launched in March 2024. There are base SU7, SU7 Pro, SU7 Max and SU7 Ultra variants – the insane Ultra packs 1,548 PS and 1,770 Nm of torque, and the track-only Ultra Prototype version is the fastest four-door around the Nürburgring (6 minutes 46.874 seconds).

While most dream of the future, Jonathan Tan dreams of the past, although he’s never been there. Fantasises much too often about cruising down Treacher Road (Jalan Sultan Ismail) in a Triumph Stag that actually works, and hopes this stint here will snap him back to present reality.
