Last evening, Lei Jun, the visionary founder of Xiaomi, hosted a captivating science popularization live stream. During this event, he pulled back the curtain on the research and development journey of the new-generation SU7, while also sharing the latest strides made by Xiaomi Auto.

At present, Xiaomi has strategically established over 100 self-built laboratories across four different locations. These facilities have been put through rigorous testing in four distinct extreme environments, ensuring the robustness and reliability of Xiaomi's automotive technologies. Moreover, the company takes pride in its two comprehensive vehicle test sites, which are manned by a dedicated testing team comprising over 800 professionals.

In a bid to ensure the highest standards of performance and safety, nationwide generalized road tests have been conducted, spanning more than 300 cities. Over 2,300 test vehicles have been deployed, collectively racking up a staggering total mileage exceeding 28 million kilometers. This extensive testing regime underscores Xiaomi's commitment to excellence in the automotive domain.

As of January 2026, Xiaomi Auto's delivery volume has soared past the 39,000-vehicle mark, with the YU7 model contributing significantly to this impressive tally. The Xiaomi SU7 has emerged as a frontrunner, securing the top spot among pure electric vehicle models for 2025, boasting an impressive 86% one-year retention rate. In a remarkable feat of endurance, the new-generation SU7 Max covered an astonishing 4,264 km in a grueling 24-hour race.

On January 29, the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra made its grand debut in the virtual world of 'Gran Turismo 7', further cementing Xiaomi's presence in the automotive and gaming spheres. With all research and development tests for the new-generation SU7 successfully completed ahead of its market launch, Xiaomi is poised for a triumphant entry into the automotive market.
