Editor’s comment
Several factors contribute to the Xiaomi SU7’s resale value. Its product strength is evident in its design, which blends technological sophistication with a sporty aesthetic.
Xiaomi’s strong brand influence and the lengthy delivery times for Xiaomi cars also contribute to their high resale value. The launch of the YU7 has offered only limited relief for the SU7’s delivery schedule, and customers purchasing an SU7 today still face waits of many weeks. For those impatient buyers, acquiring a used Xiaomi SU7 that hasn’t depreciated much has become an attractive option.
Given the current trend, Xiaomi YU7 is expected to retain its value well after its large-scale market launch, too.
