Xiaomi’s electric vehicle unit delivered 21,440 vehicles in March, up 5.0% from February but down 26.7% from a year earlier, according to data released by the China Passenger Car Association on Thursday.
The result was above the more-than-20,000 figure previously disclosed by Xiaomi EV earlier this week.
March deliveries were supported by the launch of the new-generation SU7 sedan, which began customer deliveries on March 23 after its market debut on March 19.
The updated SU7 delivered 7,882 units during the month, up sharply from 218 units in February but down 73.1% from a year earlier, CPCA data showed.
Founder and Chief Executive Lei Jun said earlier this month that locked-in orders for the new-generation SU7 had surpassed 40,000 units.
Xiaomi EV’s YU7 sport utility vehicle delivered 13,558 units in March, down 32.9% from February, but remained the company’s best-selling model, accounting for 63.2% of total deliveries.
The company said it had pre-built inventory of the SU7 ahead of launch to support early deliveries.
The standard SU7 starts at 219,900 yuan ($32,210), positioning it in competition with models from rivals including Tesla.
China’s broader new energy vehicle retail market totaled 848,000 units in March, up 82.6% from February but down 14.4% from a year earlier, according to CPCA.
Xiaomi has set a full-year delivery target of 550,000 vehicles for 2026 after delivering 411,837 vehicles in 2025.
