Xiaomi Global Deliveries : 2025-26 (H1)

Xiaomi is laid back when it comes to revealing sales data. It seems 80,000 units is an accepted volume for Q1 and 105,000 in Q2 with no official word, that is it. It's 55% down on a full 2025. 

The market is conjested and competition fierce so so few car manufacturers are expecting an increase in 2026. Trailing 2025 at H1 and then expecting to go past the full 2025 is a big ask. 

The target for 2026 is an ambitious 550,000 units, or 34% up on the previous year. There are refreshed models arriving soon so one could expect an uplift then. Deliveries increase through the year for Chinese manufacturers, so while its target looks overly optimistic, it's achievable.

Nio & Sub Brand Deliveries : 2026 (H1)

While many Chinese car companies are hitting headwinds, Nio is having no such problem. The 83,465 units delivered in Q1 was up 98%  and Q2 +49%. That figure includes the Nio (premium), ONVO (mainstream) and Firefly (budget) brands.

Deliveries grow substantially as the year progresses and with refreshed models being released, Nio will be expecting that to continue. 

With the total only 41% down on 2025 and half the year still to go, last year's total should be overtaken with ease. 2026 is progressing nicely, with June up by 63%. 

For H1, the Nio brand achieved 119,488 deliveries or 62.5% of the total. The ONVO subbrand made 42,463 sales (22.2%) and the new brand Firefly deliveries were 29,172 (15.3%).

Leapmotor Global Deliveries : 2026 (H1)

Leapmotor deliveries were up 26% Q1 and 84% in Q2. It is pushing hard on exports, which no doubt is compensating for less favourable conditions in the home market. 

The brand has exceeded 100,000 in a quarter six times. The first was in Q4 2024, then from Q2 2025, five consecutive times. With the total only 40% down on 2025 and half the year still to go, last year's total should be easily exceeded. You could say they are leaping ahead.

Leapmotor achieved its first net profit in 2025 with 2026 surely its second year in the black. The company is backed by Stellantis and seems to be one of the few things going well for them at present.
