JAKARTA Xiaomi has been known as a technology giant with a number of smartphones that are selling well worldwide. Based on the latest report by the International Data Corporation (IDC) for the second quarter of 2025, Xiaomi occupies the third largest smartphone manufacturer with a market share of 14.4 percent. This position only lost to Samsung (19.7 percent) and Apple (15.7 percent).

However, Xiaomi's success did not stop in the gadget industry. The company from China's bold move to establish an automotive division actually opened a new, no less brilliant chapter. Through Xiaomi Auto, it was noted that they had just started shipping electric vehicles last year and now immediately reaped convincing results even though they only rely on two electric car models.

CarNewsChina reported on Thursday, September 11, the latest data from the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) noted that the delivery of Xiaomi Auto electric cars in August 2025 reached 36,396 units. This achievement not only rose 19.5 percent compared to the previous month, but also jumped 177.6 percent compared to the same period last year.

This achievement is the second consecutive month for Xiaomi Auto to successfully maintain shipments above the threshold of 30,000 units. This brilliant performance led Xiaomi Auto for the first time to enter the top 10 new energy vehicle sales rankings (NEV) in China. CPCA reports show Xiaomi Auto secured its 10th position with a market share of 3.3 percent in August.

Specifically, Xiaomi's two mainstay models show a variety of performances.

Xiaomi SU7: A total of 19,848 SU7 units were successfully delivered in August. This figure did decline by 18.69 from 24,410 units in July, but still reflects 51.38 percent growth year-on-year. SU7 accounts for 54.53 percent of total Xiaomi Auto shipments in August.

Xiaomi YU7: The YU7 model recorded shipments of 16,548 units, a rapid increase of 173.88 percent compared to 6,042 units in July. This significant growth is a key factor driving Xiaomi Auto's total sales, with YU7 accounting for 45.47 percent of August's delivery.

Although the YU7 has just launched, the model has amassed 240,000 orders in the first three days. With the delivery rate in August, Xiaomi will need about 15 months to fulfill the entire order.
