Breaking News: Xiaomi Yu7 Takes Over 2025, Expands Globally by 2027
Just a week after the launch of the Xiaomi Yu7, it is already clear that this electric vehicle (EV) is one of the most important launches of 2025, possibly of the decade. Especially if the company manages to export it to other countries.
CEO Lei Jun’s Global Vision
This has always been a part of Lei Jun’s objectives, the CEO of Xiaomi, who has used Spain on several occasions to promote its electric car project. A global launch is imminent, as indicated by previous moves in Asia.
Barcelona Paves the Way
Barcelona was the first western city to receive both the Xiaomi SU7 and SU7 Ultra, during the Mobile World Congress. These launches laid the groundwork for the Yu7’s eventual release, which was showcased during the Human X Car x Home event in Madrid.
Production Challenges for Spanish Entry
However, there is a significant obstacle preventing Xiaomi’s cars from arriving in Spain: production. In a recent interview with CarNewsChina, Lei Jun confirmed that the Chinese market has priority due to enormous local demand.
Expansion Plans for 2027
Once the Chinese market is adequately served, Xiaomi plans to expand to the rest of the world, possibly starting in 2027. This timeline aligns with Lei Jun’s new objective to cover the global market after solidifying the local demand.
Compliance with European Union Regulations
Once approved, Spanish drivers may see the SU7 and Yu7 on their roads by 2027. Xiaomi is already taking the necessary steps to comply with European legislation, including making the necessary vehicle modifications.
Huge Demand in China
The demand for the Yu7 is overwhelming in China, where hundreds of thousands of units have been reserved, extending the waiting list by at least 60 weeks. Xiaomi is at risk of ‘dying of success’ if it does not ramp up production quickly.
Mass Hiring to Accelerate Production
In response, Xiaomi has begun a mass hiring campaign, aimed at accelerating the production and distribution of the Xiaomi Yu7. The company seeks operatives, truck drivers, and general workers aged 18 to 38 to bolster its workforce.
Improvement in Production Rates
Currently, Xiaomi has the capacity to produce a car every 72 seconds. With the increased workforce, this rate is expected to improve, potentially reducing waiting times substantially.
The Yu7’s rise highlights Xiaomi’s ambition to dominate the global EV market. Stay tuned to archyde.com for more breaking news and insight into this rapidly evolving industry.
