Xiaomi Auto’s deliveries rose 9.65% in the first 8 months, reaching 44.8% of its 550,000-unit annual target.
This will mark the first auto-show appearance for Xiaomi’s Sky Nomad N90 and the Freelander 8.
This means some Sky Nomad variants offer an all-electric range approaching that of mainstream battery electric vehicles.
Xiaomi’s Sky Nomad N90 Max and N70 Max will make their official debut at a technology launch event this Thursday.
The Xiaomi founder pointed to strong demand for Li Auto’s new-generation Li L6 as evidence that demand for EREVs is real and robust.
The N90 Max is priced at 299,900 yuan ($44,170) in pre-sales and the N70 Max at 259,900 yuan, below the 339,000 yuan Tesla Model Y L.
Xiaomi was down 8% at the time of writing, after falling as much as 11% intraday.
Xiaomi EV didn’t disclose a specific figure, sticking with the vague wording it has always used.
Xiaomi Sky Nomad’s two EREV SUVs have generally received 200 to 300 intent-deposit orders per store, according to a local media report.
