Xiaomi till Europa 2027

Xiaomi öppnade ett R&D center i Tyskland förra året. Nästa år börjar man också sälja bilar i Europa.

Xiaomi Auto confirmed it will start selling electric vehicles in Europe, including Germany, in 2027, and it’s already lining up the dealers to sell them.
At IFA Berlin today, the Chinese automaker signed memoranda of understanding with eight of Germany’s largest dealer groups. They’re its first retail partners on the continent.

“Standing in Berlin, we are pleased to begin this new chapter with eight of the most respected automotive dealer partners in Germany,” said Dr. Yu Liguo, the Vice President of Xiaomi Auto who runs its international business. He tied the announcement to the company’s R&D center in Munich, which Xiaomi opened last year, and promised “long-term investment in Europe.”

Xiaomi has delivered more than 700,000 vehicles in China since its first EV reached customers in March 2024, and it says it reached profitability within six quarters of starting deliveries. That’s a pace legacy automakers spent years failing to match on their EV programs.

The SU7 sedan crossed 500,000 units in 28.5 months, and the YU7 SUV, which undercuts the Tesla Model Y on price, pulled in more than 240,000 lock-in orders within 18 hours of launch. The SU7 also topped the large-BEV segment of J.D. Power’s China quality study two years running.

Xiaomi has been laying European groundwork for months. It poached Tesla’s European delivery operations manager in the spring, launched a global website and international social channels in August, and it’s showing its “Human × Car × Home” ecosystem, including the Vision Gran Turismo concept, at IFA this week.
