Xiaomi's YU7 Electric SUV Faces High Demand and Delayed Deliveries
The YU7 electric SUV by iQOO (Xiaomi) has seen a surge in demand since its launch at the end of June 2025, leading to delivery delays of up to 59 weeks for customers[1]. This strong sales momentum is driving Xiaomi's ambitious expansion in the electric vehicle market, with the company aiming to reach breakeven in this segment by the end of 2025[1].
To meet this growing demand, Xiaomi is ramping up production capacity with a second EV factory and investing heavily in advanced technologies like ADAS (advanced driver-assistance systems) to enhance the YU7’s appeal[1][2]. Despite the wait times, the company is optimistic about scaling up production and preparing for international expansion by 2027, including entry into the European market[1].
The first SU7 Ultra, another model from Xiaomi's EV lineup, was recently registered in Europe, indicating the company's focus on overseas markets[1]. Meanwhile, the first deliveries of the YU7 began on July 6[2].
In summary, the YU7 is currently experiencing high demand, leading to significant delays in delivery. Sales are growing rapidly, and Xiaomi is investing in production capacity and technology development to meet this demand. The company is also preparing for its entry into the European market in 2027[1]. Customers should expect delivery delays if ordering now, as no recent updates indicate shorter wait times yet[1][2].
