JAKARTA The time of indent or waiting period for Xiaomi SU7 variants Pro and Max has now decreased drastically, from about 30 weeks to only 6 to 9 weeks. This change is good news for potential consumers who don't have to wait too long to get the Xiaomi mainstay electric sedan.

Citing CarNewsChina's report, Wednesday, November 12, the acceleration of this delivery time is likely to be influenced by the increase in production capacity at the Xiaomi plant or the redistribution of order volume from other variants.

With a shorter delivery period, customers who order the SU7 Pro and Max currently still have the opportunity to receive their units before the end of the year. This means that they can also enjoy more profitable purchase tax incentives than shipments by 2026.

Meanwhile, the standard version of SU7 still maintains a waiting time of 2932 weeks. The high performance variant, SU7 Ultra, still has a delivery period of 69 weeks since September. Another model, namely Xiaomi YU7, faces a longer waiting period, about 3238 weeks.

This news comes amid reports of a massive expansion plan for Xiaomi Auto production. The company is preparing the construction of phase II and III factories in Beijing, as well as new facilities in Wuhan. With this step, Xiaomi is targeting an annual production capacity of more than 1 million units by 2026, even potentially reaching 1.2 million units.

This ambition is not without basis. Previous reports stated that the current level of utilization of the Xiaomi Auto plant is close to 200 percent, far beyond the average automotive industry.

The Beijing Phase I plant, which has a capacity of 150,000 units per year, is now able to increase output thanks to a two-shift work system. While the Beijing Phase II plant has a similar capacity, and if both operate at a level of 200 percent utilization, the total annual production could penetrate 600,000 units.

The next expansion has been scheduled. The Beijing Phase II Plus facility, also known as the Phase III assembly plant, is expected to start operating after the 2026 Chinese New Year. Meanwhile, the Wuhan Phase I plant will start production in May 2026, with a monthly capacity target of 35,000 units in October of the same year.

If all capacity increases go according to plan, including possible additional factory acquisitions, Xiaomi Auto's total annual production could potentially break the 1.2 million mark.
