On July 5 evening, Xiaomi Group Founder, Chairman, and CEO Lei Jun announced "The first deliveries of the Xiaomi YU7 will begin tomorrow, simultaneously in 58 cities across the country".

This morning (China time), Lei Jun posted that Xiaomi YU7 would offer a limited-time configuration change option in response to customers’ complaints on the long waiting times, especially on the Standard model, which has an estimated 53-56 weeks waiting time.

From 10:00 AM on July 6 to 24:00 (midnight) on July 7, locked-order users (excluding readily available stock) can participate in these changes.

If a configuration change is successful, production will be re-scheduled, and a new delivery time will be estimated.

This configuration change is strictly limited to modifying versions between the YU7 Standard, Pro, and Max models, or making changes to the existing YU7 order configuration.

The Xiaomi YU7 was officially launched on the evening of June 26, offering three configurations, priced between 253,500 and 329,900 yuan.

Sales quickly soared, with pre-orders exceeding 200,000 units in just 3 minutes and over 289,000 units within an hour. Within merely 18 hours, the number of locked orders surpassed 240,000 units.

Lei Jun excitedly stated, "Everyone has witnessed a miracle in China's automotive industry."

Regarding the production capacity at Xiaomi's Beijing factory, Lei Jun previously told reporters, "We must do our utmost to push for further expansion. Orders have far exceeded my imagination. Competition in the SUV market is extremely fierce, so we must ensure product quality and accelerate deliveries to get cars to our customers faster".

As of now, among Xiaomi YU7 prospective owners, the average age is 33 years old, roughly 3 years older than SU7 owners. The proportion of female owners is approximately 30%, which is 4.5% higher than for the SU7.

The most popular colors among female users are Flowing Gold Pink and Danxia Purple, while male users most favor Cambrian Gray and Deep Sea Blue.

Lei Jun also revealed that 52.4% of Xiaomi YU7 owners are Apple users, a 4.4% increase compared to SU7 owners during the same period.

The top three cities with the highest number of current orders are Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Beijing. Notably, these three cities are also where the Model Y sells best.
