In October 2026, Xiaomi Auto posted its best month of the year with 50,168 vehicles delivered in China. According to the China Passenger Car Association, this marks only the second time the automaker has topped 50,000 units. October rose by 25.37% versus September and by 3.11% year over year. Only 44 vehicles stand between them and matching the historical December 2025 record of 50,212 deliveries. An exceptional month, therefore, but also a pivotal one.
Behind this total, the real novelty comes from the extended-range Sky Nomad SUVs. In October, this new N70 and N90 family reached 27,147 deliveries, or 54.11% of the monthly volume. The 100% electric Xiaomi SU7 and Xiaomi YU7 total 23,021 units in October. That’s less than the Sky Nomad, which for the first time takes the lead at Xiaomi Auto. A symbolic shift, occurring as the brand readies its entry into Europe by 2027.
October 2026: Xiaomi Auto Deliveries Fueled by Sky Nomad SUVs
Between January and October 2026, Xiaomi Auto delivered 336,658 vehicles, up 6.75% year over year. This total represents 61.21% of the annual target set at 550,000 vehicles for the fledgling auto division. To close the gap, another 213,342 vehicles must be delivered in November and December. That implies a monthly pace of 106,671 deliveries, about 2.1 times October’s level. In this ambitious backdrop, the rise of Sky Nomad SUVs becomes a critical driver for Xiaomi Auto.
The Sky Nomad line was launched on September 7, with more than 70,000 firm orders already announced by early October. In a single month, their volumes climbed from 12,444 in September to 27,147 in October. A 118.15% month-over-month surge for these extended-range SUVs, which pair electric propulsion with a thermal generator. The Sky Nomad N70 posted 14,558 deliveries, up 103.69% versus September. The N90 reached 12,589 units and advanced even 137.66% month over month.
Sky Nomad Now Leads Xiaomi’s 100% Electric SU7 and YU7
Against this surge of extended-range SUVs, Xiaomi’s 100% electric models are lagging. The Xiaomi SU7 sedan sold 12,984 units in October, down 13.39% year over year. It marks its thirteenth consecutive monthly decline since its launch peak. The electric SUV YU7 logged 10,037 deliveries in October, down 70.18% year over year. The model marks a third straight monthly drop, following declines in August and September.
Since its automotive foray began, Xiaomi Auto has accumulated 887,966 deliveries by the end of October 2026. The October shift, with Sky Nomad SUVs in the lead, redraws the maker’s product-gamma profile in its domestic market. It comes as Xiaomi has signed deals with eight German distributors, ahead of a European entrance planned for 2027. The October performance thus offers an early glimpse of the models and technologies that will carry the most weight in this expansion. For now, the ramp-up of Sky Nomad SUVs is playing out mainly in China, where Xiaomi still targets 550,000 vehicles for the year.
