Xiaomi’s next‑gen SU7 electric scooter has attracted nearly 100,000 pre‑orders in two weeks, boosted by upgraded tech and a pre‑order strategy. Learn more.
Xiaomi opened early deposits for its next‑generation SU7 electric scooter at the start of January. In just 14 days, the pre‑order tally is approaching 100,000 units.
Record‑Breaking Demand
Local media reports indicate that dealerships in Beijing, Shanghai and Wuhan are averaging 200–400 orders each, fueling the rapid surge.
Why the Price Is Higher
The new SU7 is priced about US$2,000 above its predecessor. Xiaomi says the increase reflects major technology upgrades:
- High‑voltage system built on a silicon‑carbide (SiC) platform.
- Extended driving range of roughly 902 km on a single charge.
- Standard LiDAR sensors across all trims, enhancing safety and navigation.
Strategic Early‑Deposit System
To avoid the delivery delays that plagued the earlier YU7 model, Xiaomi introduced an early‑deposit program to gauge demand and secure core component supplies ahead of production.
Production Focus and Inventory Clearance
While the new SU7 ramps up for its official April 2026 launch, dealers are clearing out older SU7 stock to free warehouse space.
Ambitious 2026 Targets
In 2025 Xiaomi delivered 411,800 vehicles, surpassing its goal by 17%. For 2026 the tech giant aims to ship 550,000 units, banking on the refreshed SU7 and the upcoming YU7 GT.
CEO Lei Jun’s Livestream Boost
Lei Jun’s live‑streaming push earlier this month added considerable momentum to the early‑sale campaign, reaching a broad audience of potential buyers.
With its upgraded battery, extended range, and built‑in LiDAR, the Xiaomi SU7 is poised to make a strong statement in the rapidly growing electric‑vehicle market.
