According to the 'Research Report on China's Automobile Residual Value Rate for September 2026', among one-year-old pure electric vehicle models, the Xiaomi YU7 claimed the top spot with an 82.5% residual value rate. This marks its third consecutive month at number one, making it the sole model to surpass an 80% residual value rate. The Li Auto MEGA and NIO ES8 secured second and third place, respectively. The Xiaomi SU7 ranked eighth among pure electric sedans, with a 75.1% residual value rate. Notably, two major Tesla models failed to crack the top ten, with the Xiaomi YU7 leading the closest competitor by nearly 5 percentage points. Among three-year-old pure electric vehicle models, Tesla swept the top three positions. However, the Xiaomi YU7 and SU7 were excluded from this list due to their shorter time on the market (less than three years). Strong sales of nearly-new vehicles in the second-hand market have been a key factor behind the YU7’s impressive short-term residual value performance. Its three-year residual value rate will offer a more precise reflection of the residual value potential across Xiaomi’s vehicle lineup. The residual value rate in the rankings is determined by dividing the sales price of a well-maintained second-hand vehicle by the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of its new counterpart. This metric not only highlights brand strength but also provides valuable pricing references for businesses in the automotive sector.
