Xiaomi’s entry into the electric vehicle (EV) sector is proving to be more than just a debut; it’s a standout success. According to the ‘2025 H1 China Automobile Resale Value Research Report’ released by the China Automobile Dealers Association (CADA), Xiaomi’s SU7 leads China’s pure electric vehicle segment in resale performance, retaining an impressive 88.91% of its value one year after purchase.
The report, which analyses resale trends in both plug-in hybrid and pure electric vehicles, highlights the Xiaomi SU7 as the top performer in its class. Closely following in second place is the Aito M9, another strong contender in the market, with a one-year resale value of 84.45% in the pure electric category.
In the plug-in hybrid category, which includes extended-range vehicles, the Aito M9 takes the top position with a resale value of 85.23%, reflecting its broad appeal across various powertrain options.
Multiple factors are credited for Xiaomi SU7’s strong market performance. Its combination of sleek, sporty design and advanced technology has attracted considerable consumer interest. Additionally, Xiaomi’s powerful brand reputation in China has given the vehicle a further edge in both sales and retention value.
Delivery delays have also contributed to the model’s strong resale value. Despite the introduction of the Xiaomi YU7 to ease production pressure, wait times for the SU7 remain lengthy. As a result, lightly used SU7 models with minimal depreciation are in high demand among buyers unwilling to wait for a new unit.
Market analysts expect the Xiaomi YU7 to maintain solid value retention following its broader rollout, bolstered by Xiaomi’s growing influence in the automotive sector.
