AITO M9 Tops EV Resale Value Rankings, Xiaomi SU7 Ranks Seventh

On March 7, the China Automobile Dealers Association and Jingzhengu jointly released the February ranking of one-year residual values for all-electric vehicle models. The Aito M9 topped the list with a residual value retention rate of 82.1%, followed by the Zeekr 009 (81.6%) and Li Auto MEGA (80.8%) in second and third places, respectively. Tesla’s Model Y and Model 3 ranked within the top five with rates of 79.0% and 78.0%, respectively, continuing the brand's strong performance in the used-car market. Xiaomi’s SU7 came in seventh with a 76.0% retention rate, still placing it firmly within the leading mainstream group. Models such as Geely’s Xingyuan, Avatr 12, and LeDao L60 all posted residual values exceeding 70%, collectively challenging the long-held perception that “electric vehicles lose significant value as soon as they leave the lot” and highlighting the growing stability in the value of premium all-electric models.
