Chinese tech giant Xiaomi, historically best known as a manufacturer of consumer electronics—primarily its hugely popular smartphones, is planning to start selling its new electric vehicles (EVs) in Europe within the next two years, reports Autocar.

Two models have already been introduced in China: the SU7 sedan, released in 2023, and the YU7 SUV, the demand for which is growing rapidly.

Xiaomi Auto is one of the fastest-growing car brands in its home market, with more than 80,000 cars delivered in the last quarter alone—a near-200% yearly increase, and is laying the groundwork to soon start exporting cars internationally.

Company president William Lu told international media that Xiaomi Auto plans to enter the European EV market in 2027.

Lu is reported as saying the company is in the research and preparation phase of its European rollout and did not give any specific details on timings or model lines.

Before sending its cars overseas, however, Xiaomi must contend with severe production bottlenecks at its factory in Beijing. Wait times for the SU7 are currently at 41 weeks, according to Chinese outlet CnEVPost, and orders placed now for the YU7 won't be fulfilled for more than a year.
