Overview
- Xiaomi confirmed plans to enter the European car market in 2027 without naming specific countries, models or prices.
- Its lineup currently includes the SU7 sedan launched in 2024 and the YU7 SUV introduced in 2025, with a claimed 7:04.957 Nordschleife lap record for a road‑legal EV.
- The company reports more than 258,000 vehicle deliveries from market entry through May 2025 as media cite YU7 wait times of over a year.
- Reported early demand includes roughly 240,000 YU7 orders within 18 hours of its debut, underscoring sustained backlog pressure.
