Xiaomi delivered more than 50,000 electric vehicles in October, its highest monthly total of 2026. The company reported about 336,490 deliveries from January through October, representing roughly 61% of its 550,000-unit annual target. The Sky Nomad SUV lineup helped drive the rebound, although Xiaomi must significantly accelerate deliveries in the final two months to meet its goal.
Key Takeaways
- October deliveries exceeded 50,000, following 40,015 in September and more than 30,000 in August.
- Xiaomi delivered about 336,490 vehicles in the first ten months, around 61% of its 2026 target.
- The Sky Nomad lineup recorded 12,444 deliveries in September and more than 70,000 confirmed orders within 30 days.
- Meeting the annual target would require a delivery pace well above Xiaomi’s previous monthly record.
Xiaomi Records Its Strongest Monthly EV Deliveries of 2026
Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi said on Sunday it delivered more than 50,000 electric vehicles in October, the highest monthly total this year, as it ramps up production to meet its 2026 target.
Deliveries reached about 336,000 vehicles for the first 10 months after topping 30,000 units in August and 40,000 in September.
The company aims to deliver 550,000 vehicles in 2026. Its January-October deliveries represent about 61% of that goal.
October is only the second month in which Xiaomi Auto crossed 50,000. The first came in December 2025, with 50,212 vehicles. Based on the reported minimum, October deliveries grew at least 24.95% from September and 2.77% from October last year, when Xiaomi delivered 48,654 cars.
That small annual gain matters for the brand. It ends two straight months of year-on-year declines.
The Sky Nomad Effect
The new Sky Nomad SUV did much of the lifting. The model recorded 12,444 deliveries in September, and collected more than 70,000 confirmed orders within 30 days.
The rebound appears to rest on the Sky Nomad extended-range electric lineup, which Xiaomi introduced on September 7 as it moved beyond battery-only vehicles. The series notched 12,444 deliveries in September and drew more than 70,000 confirmed orders within its first 30 days, helping offset softer demand for the older SU7 sedan and YU7 SUV.
All Xiaomi deliveries still come from China, where demand for new energy vehicles has been under pressure. The China Passenger Car Association is expected to publish exact October figures and model-level data later in November.

The Year-End Gap
Xiaomi delivered at least 336,490 vehicles in the first ten months. Reaching 550,000 means about 213,510 more in two months, an average of roughly 106,755 a month.
The company is ramping production to close that distance, but the target now depends on a factory pace it has never shown.
Through the first ten months of 2026, Xiaomi delivered about 336,490 vehicles, roughly 61% of its 550,000-unit annual goal. Hitting that target would require up to 213,510 more deliveries in November and December, or about 106,755 a month, a pace well above anything the company has recorded.
A Crowded Home Market
Xiaomi’s October came amid strong numbers across China’s EV sector. BYD posted 11% growth and Leapmotor set a delivery record in the same month. Rivals are also moving on technology, with BYD targeting a solid-state battery car in 2027.
For Xiaomi, which entered the car business from phones, a single hit model now carries outsized weight, and the Sky Nomad’s order book will decide how close it gets to its goal.
All of Xiaomi Auto’s deliveries currently come from China, where demand for new energy vehicles remains under pressure. Industry data showed retail sales of new energy vehicles in the country fell 16.7% year over year in September, extending a losing streak to nine months.
Xiaomi is counting on vehicles to diversify a business long anchored in smartphones and consumer electronics, and the unit now sits in one of the world’s most crowded and price-competitive auto markets.
Outlook
For investors, the October number offers the clearest evidence yet that the Sky Nomad launch is adding volume, though the gap to the annual target leaves the company dependent on a sharp second-half acceleration. The stock’s move on Monday suggests shareholders are weighing the delivery momentum more heavily than the shortfall against the full-year goal.
The Passenger Car Association is expected to publish Xiaomi’s exact October deliveries and model-level figures later in November.
