Xiaomi's car business handed over 30,153 vehicles in August, figures from the China Passenger Car Association show — 17.15 percent fewer than a year earlier and 3.56 percent below July's tally. That marked a second straight month-on-month dip and the first annual drop since March, though the company has now stayed above the 30,000 mark for five months running. A breakdown between the SU7 sedan and YU7 SUV has yet to be published.
Through the first eight months of 2026, cumulative volume reached 246,475 units, a 9.65 percent gain that has decelerated from 14.83 percent through July. That leaves the carmaker at just 44.8 percent of its 550,000-unit goal for the year; the remaining 303,525 vehicles would require an average of roughly 75,881 per month — about 2.5 times August's figure.
The company is pinning its hopes on the Sky Nomad range, unveiled September 7 as its first foray beyond pure battery-electric models. The launch lineup spans five-seat N70 Pro and N70 Max variants plus seven-seat and five-seat takes on the N90 Max. Locked orders topped 10,000 within four minutes, and pre-built stock means buyers can receive cars one to five weeks after ordering. Yet the segment it is entering is contracting: China's EREV retail sales fell 15.85 percent year-on-year to 616,000 units over the same eight-month period.
Since entering the market, Xiaomi has accumulated 797,783 deliveries as of end-August according to CnEVPost's tally, with founder and CEO Lei Jun confirming on Monday that the 800,000 milestone has now been crossed.
