Xiaomi’s electric vehicle unit is planning to introduce four new models in 2026, including its first extended-range electric vehicles, as the company accelerates efforts to expand its automotive portfolio, according to a report by Chinese media outlet 36Kr.
The planned lineup includes a facelifted version of the SU7 sedan, an executive variant of the same model, a five-seat extended-range sport utility vehicle, and a larger seven-seat extended-range SUV, the report said, citing industry sources. The SU7 facelift and the seven-seat extended-range SUV are expected to debut in the first half of the year, while the executive sedan and five-seat SUV are slated for release in the second half of 2026.

The move would mark Xiaomi’s first entry into the extended-range electric vehicle segment, which combines battery power with a range-extending combustion engine. According to people familiar with the matter, the seven-seat extended-range model, internally codenamed “Kunlun,” is positioned to compete with models such as Li Auto’s L9 and Leapmotor’s D-series offerings. The vehicle is expected to feature a battery pack exceeding 70 kWh, delivering a pure-electric driving range of 400 to 500 kilometers.
Xiaomi officially entered the electric vehicle market in March 2024 with the launch of the SU7 sedan, positioning it as a rival to Tesla’s Model 3. Since then, the company has signaled plans to broaden its lineup across multiple segments. The upcoming executive version of the SU7 is expected to feature a longer wheelbase and enhanced rear-seat comfort, while the two extended-range SUVs are aimed at family buyers seeking longer driving range and greater flexibility.

Industry observers say the planned expansion underscores Xiaomi’s ambition to establish itself as a full-range automaker rather than a single-model entrant. As competition intensifies in China’s electric vehicle market, the company is seeking to diversify its offerings while scaling production to support future growth.
