Chinese tech giant Xiaomi unveiled its first car, the SU7, in early 2024, and the company recently boasted that one car leaves the assembly line every 76 seconds. This is such a good car that even Ford CEO Jim Farley bought one.

“I don’t like to think about the competition so much, but I drive an XIaomi. It’s fantastic. We shipped one from Shanghai to Chicago, I’ve been driving it for six months and I don’t want to give it up,” Farley said.

Xiaomi SU7 comes in three versions: SU7, SU7 Pro and SU7 Max. The standard version is powered by an electric motor with 299 hp (220 kW) and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) of torque, and will have RWD. It accelerates from 0 – 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.28 seconds with a top speed of 210 km/h (130 mph). It is equipped with a BYD Blade 73.6 kWh battery that provides a range of 700 kilometers. The SU7 Pro version is equipped with an 800V architecture and a 94.3 kWh battery that provides a range of 830 km.

The most powerful version of the Xiaomi SU7 Max, is really impressive. It is powered by two electric motors with a total output of 673 hp (495 kW) and 618 lb-ft (838 Nm) of torque, and has AWD. It reaches 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.78 seconds with a top speed of 265 km/h (165 mph). It is equipped with the Xiami Pilot Max ADAS system, 800V architecture, and a CATI Qilin 101 kWh battery that enables a range of 800 km, or 510 km with a 15-minute charge.
