Xiaomi keeps August deliveries above 30,000

The number on Xiaomi’s monthly dashboard still has a blank beside it. In August, the company said its automotive unit delivered more than 30,000 vehicles, extending that streak to five consecutive months, but it again withheld the exact figure and any model breakdown. The announcement arrived as Xiaomi prepares the September launch of its Sky Nomad range.

The gap is visible in the arithmetic Xiaomi has disclosed. CPCA data put July deliveries at 31,267 vehicles, while CnEVPost’s compilation shows 216,322 vehicles delivered in the first 7 months of 2026. Counting August at its lower bound of 30,000 brings the first 8 months to about 246,322 vehicles, equal to 44.8% of Xiaomi Auto’s annual target of 550,000.

That leaves a demanding final stretch. Xiaomi would need to average about 75,900 deliveries per month from September through December, roughly 2.4 times its actual July volume. The August number cannot yet be compared precisely with August 2025, when Xiaomi delivered 36,396 vehicles, because the company has reported only a lower bound this time. CPCA’s more detailed monthly figures are expected later in September.

Sky Nomad is Xiaomi’s second vehicle series and its first move into the extended-range electric vehicle segment, or EREV: cars that combine electric driving with a range-extending powertrain. The seven-seat N90 Max and five-seat N70 Max are scheduled to launch in September, with Pro and standard versions planned later. Yet the segment is not moving with Xiaomi: Chinese EREV retail sales fell 15.35% year-on-year to 535,000 units in the first 7 months, according to CPCA data.

So what changes, concretely? September’s launch and the speed at which Sky Nomad deliveries ramp up will determine whether Xiaomi can materially narrow the gap to its annual goal in the final four months. For Xiaomi, this is a volume test measured in tens of thousands of vehicles each month; for prospective buyers, it marks the point when the company’s larger SUVs are scheduled to move from display stands to deliveries. The models remain pre-launch, and the company’s EV and AI initiatives recorded a 2.6 billion yuan operating loss in the second quarter.
