The Xiaomi Yu7, the first completely electric SUV of the brand and its second model, has reached the market razing. To the point that your waiting list has shot 350 days. If you live in China and want one, you will have to wait almost a year.
350 days. That is what, according to Carnewschina those who wait to acquire a Xiaomi Yu7. The demand of the model has been so high since its Official presentation which has broken the production chain that cannot be basted for 50 weeks for new reserves.
According to data collected by the specialized environment in the Chinese engine market, the waiting time is equivalent to a production of 271,000 vehicles. To get an idea, it is half of the units that They sold in China del Tesla Model and in 2024 So you can consider very good numbers considering that Xiaomi has just entered the electric car market.
Without price. The most striking of the Xiaomi Yu7 is that we still do not know its price. And the company will wait to announce it up to one or two days before the first deliveries, according to CNEVPOST. At the moment, it is known that the intention is to launch it in July but it has not been specified what day and the date has not been reconfirmed.
A fever called Xiaomi. In spite of everything, the volume of reservations is so high that we will have to wait almost a year to receive the car if you add your waiting list right now. The number of customers has therefore surpassed the Xiaomi Su7 that in all its variants it had more restrained waiting times.
However, those “restrained” waiting times were extended to 25 weeks to receive the first units of the company’s first electric. And in March it was announced that the Xiaomi Su7 Prothe intermediate option of the Berlinas presented (with large LFP battery of 94.3 kWh signed by CATL and 295 hp engine) has everything sold by 2025 and the waiting list in this case also extends between 47 and 50 weeks.
They explain in Carnewschina That the launch of the Xiaomi Yu7 has also re -raised the number of Berlin reserves, being a new push for the model. Right now, to receive the access model (the one that accumulated 25 weeks of waiting during its launch and which has the small 73.6 kWh battery) it is necessary to wait between 41 and 44 weeks. The fastest thing is to ask for your Xiaomi Su7 Max. To receive the most powerful and face option you have to wait between 31 and 33 weeks.
Increasing production. This avalanche of orders has forced the company to increase the production lines for its cars. At first, the objectives were to deliver 300,000 units per year but the only waiting list of the Xiaomi Yu7 already aims to meet that goal.
In March last year, in anticipation of the expected it was already confirmed that the company planned to increase production to 480,000 vehicles per year. That growth will come with the New plant which should soon come into operation to produce the electric SUV exclusively. The avalanche of orders, indicate in Carnewschinait could lead to more delays in the delivery of the electric Berlin.
At the moment, the objective is to deliver this year 350,000 units, as confirmed by Lei Jun himself, CEO of Xiaomi, months ago in information collected by South China Morning Post. That almost half a million units produced should arrive with the lines already operating at full performance.
Unleashed. The media stir in which the arrival of Xiaomi’s first cars has become huge. To get an idea, There are tourists paying a money to learn about the factory where the Chinese company is producing its vehicles, with guided visits included.
The noise generated in social networks is huge but that has also raised some criticism and suspicions. Criticism of some buyers who are showing their discontent because some components of the Xioami su7 ultra do not give what is promised either With its quality.
And suspicions by Xiaomi herself she has denounced, Like Byda social media harassment campaign with the aim of discrediting the company and its new products.
