Xiaomi is expanding its presence in the electric vehicle market, focusing on customization and European expansion. In mid-2026, the company introduced premium customization services for the YU7 GT EV. During the Mobile World Congress 2026, Xiaomi also unveiled the Electric Scooter 6 Ultra. By August 2026, Xiaomi announced plans to enter the European market in the second half of 2027, utilizing local distributors and a Munich-based R&D center to optimize for high-speed driving and extreme weather. At the IFA consumer electronics show in Berlin in September 2026, Xiaomi reaffirmed its 2027 entry strategy and detailed its sales network plans. The company has signed memorandums of understanding with eight major German dealer groups, including Emil Frey Germany and LUEG Mobility GmbH, to establish its service network. This strategy aims to provide immediate access to established sales and service infrastructures, including technical support and spare parts. Xiaomi intends to use Germany as its primary gateway to the continent, with the SU7 sedan and YU7 SUV expected to debut. The company continues to aim for a seamless ecosystem via its HyperOS, connecting smartphones, smart homes, and automobiles. As of September 2026, Xiaomi’s automotive division has reported significant success in China, with over 700,000 vehicles delivered. However, the company faces challenges in Europe, including intense competition from established manufacturers and potential high import tariffs on Chinese-made EVs. Simultaneously, Xiaomi is exploring high-performance segments through digital and physical prototyping. In collaboration with Polyphony Digital, the company unveiled the ‘Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo’, an electric hypercar designed for the ‘Gran Turismo 7’ racing simulation. This concept features advanced aerodynamics and a ‘Sofa Racer’ interior designed to integrate with the ‘Human x Car x Home’ ecosystem.
