Xiaomi SU7 outsells Tesla Model 3 in China for the first time
For the first time since Tesla launched the Model 3 in China in 2019, another automaker has outsold it in the premium electric sedan segment. And it’s a smartphone company.
Xiaomi delivered 258,164 units of its SU7 sedan in 2025, nearly 30% more than Tesla Model 3’s 200,361 deliveries, according to data from the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA).
This comes just weeks after we reported that Tesla confirmed its first year of domestic sales decline in China. The writing was on the wall, and now we’re seeing the direct consequences.
