Xiaomi EV monthly deliveries



2024



2025



2026

Xiaomi EV said its July deliveries continued to exceed 30,000 units.

It marked the fourth consecutive month that deliveries remained above the 30,000-unit mark and the fourth straight month in which the company used the same wording. As before, Xiaomi EV did not disclose an exact figure or provide a breakdown by model.

Detailed monthly delivery figures are expected to be released later by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA).

Notably, Xiaomi EV delivered 30,452 vehicles in July last year. That means year-on-year growth would be limited if the actual July figure was only slightly above 30,000 units.

Xiaomi EV didn’t disclose a specific figure, sticking with the vague wording it has always used.
