Xiaomi has hired former Tesla Shanghai factory leader Song Gang, strengthening EV manufacturing execution as the brand prepares capacity and overseas expansion.

Xiaomi EV delivered 36,702 cars in April 2026, with SU7 volume driving momentum while YU7 expectations kept pressure on manufacturing execution and capacity.

Xiaomi's YU7 GT brings a roughly $53,800 launch price, a 1,003-hp performance claim, and Nürburgring publicity to a model family that also targets Tesla Model Y buyers.

Xiaomi YU7 GT gives the brand a 1,003-PS halo SUV from about $57,600, with performance claims that push Xiaomi deeper into premium EV territory globally.

Xiaomi says the YU7 led China's SUV retail rankings in the first four months of 2026, while the SU7 kept Xiaomi's premium EV momentum strong as monthly deliveries scaled.
