Why is Xiaomi EV creating a new series?

Official answer

Xiaomi is a global technology company with the "Human x Car x Home Smart Ecosystem" as its core strategy. Xiaomi EV's mission is to build high-quality smart electric vehicles, allowing global users to enjoy ubiquitous smart living.

Therefore, from the very beginning of car manufacturing, Xiaomi has been thinking about how to create a "mobile smart space." However, unlike what most people initially speculated, Xiaomi EV's first step was not to choose a large-space SUV, but to start with the most difficult pure electric sedan, building from the underlying core technologies.

Five years have passed, and the achievements of the Xiaomi SU7 and YU7 have exceeded everyone's expectations. As of April 23, 2026, Xiaomi EV's cumulative deliveries have surpassed 655,000 units. The Xiaomi SU7 topped the domestic retail sales chart for pure electric sedans priced over 200,000 RMB in 2025. The Xiaomi YU7 ranked first nationwide in cumulative SUV sales from January to April 2026.

At the same time, as our understanding of cars and user needs deepens, and with comprehensive improvements in our car-making capabilities—including design, R&D, engineering, safety, and smart manufacturing—we are increasingly confident in doing something different in the large-space segment. Furthermore, many users want a large-space SUV; they care not only about how well the car drives but also about how comfortable they feel staying inside it.

Therefore, in early 2023, Xiaomi EV built a brand-new platform architecture from scratch—the Xiaomi Kunlun Technology Architecture. In the form of an SUV, through a pure flat floor and ultra-long slide rail design inside the car, Xiaomi Pengcheng possesses the ability to intelligently switch spaces.
