Potential buyers of Xiaomi SU7 electric sedan are facing long waits of four to seven months, signaling strong demand for the company’s first vehicle. Deliveries for the standard model may take 18-21 weeks, with the most expensive model possibly taking 27-30 weeks. Xiaomi’s expertise in smartphones gives it an edge in smart dashboards for EVs.
China’s Xiaomi is advising potential buyers of Xiaomi SU7 electric sedan that they could face waits of four to seven months, in a sign of strong demand for its first-ever vehicle.
The maker of smartphones and other consumer electronics began taking orders on Thursday and said pre-orders hit 88,898 in the first 24 hours.
Deliveries for the standard SU7 model, priced at 215,900 yuan ($29,870), may take 18-21 weeks, according to checks by Reuters on Xiaomi’s car app.
Deliveries for the SU7 Pro model could take 18-21 weeks, while the most expensive model, priced at 299,900 yuan, could take 27-30 weeks.
The SU7, whose design has drawn comparisons with Porsche’s Taycan and Panamera sports car models, has been launched amid a cut-throat price war in the world’s largest auto market where more than 40 brands vie for consumer attention.
On Monday, Huawei-backed Aito offered discounts of up to 20,000 yuan on its new M7 SUVs until the end of end-April while Xpeng also offered subsidies of up to 20,000 yuan on its flagship electric SUV G9 for a limited time.
In addition, Chery announced it would offer tax breaks, trade-in subsidies and cash discounts on some of its best-selling gasoline-engine vehicles.
While the market is challenging for newcomers, analysts have noted that Xiaomi has deeper pockets than many EV startups and that its expertise in smartphones gives the company an edge in smart dashboards – a feature that Chinese consumers prize.
As part of the campaign to kick off sales, Xiaomi also released two special versions of the car called “Founder’s Edition” that come with complimentary gifts, such as refrigerators. The first 5,000 of those cars sold out immediately.
A second round of Founder’s Edition sales has been opened but it was not immediately clear how many would be sold.
The much-anticipated release of the Xiaomi SU7 has stirred excitement among tech enthusiasts and consumers alike. However, eager buyers are facing the rather frustrating reality of extended wait times for their deliveries. This unexpected delay has left many eagerly awaiting the arrival of their new gadgets, only to be met with disappointment. While Xiaomi’s popularity and demand for their products are undeniably high, the current delays present a considerable challenge for those eagerly anticipating their SU7. As we navigate this period of wait, patience and understanding will be key. Let’s hope that Xiaomi can address these delivery delays swiftly, ensuring that the SU7 reaches the hands of excited consumers in a more timely manner.
