2025 Xiaomi SU7

Two years ago, Xiaomi announced its entry into the world of electric car manufacturers with its first car, the SU7. After receiving permission from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), the car was officially unveiled and can go into production.

Xiaomi launched three versions of the SU7, and the big event was opened by company director Lei Jun. There were many famous people from the world of the automotive industry including the former head of design of the BMW Group Chris Bangle (currently a design consultant for Xiaomi vehicles) who said that he was impressed by the power of the SU7 and that it would be great to have this car in Europe. Xiaomi presented him as one of the 10 most famous car designers in the world, which is justified because this is a man who was previously responsible for brands including BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce.

The presentation was also attended by Nio Brand Director William Liu, Xpeng President Heu Xiaopeng and Li Auto Company Director Li Xiangu. “All of them have given us many suggestions over the past years to avoid roadblocks during the development of the electric car,” Jun said.

At the end of last year, the first photos of the blue Xiaomi SU7, which is 4,997 mm long, 1,963 mm wide with a height of 1,440/1,455 mm, and a wheelbase of 3,000 mm, were published on the Weibo social network.

When it comes to the design, the exterior design of the car was done by James Qiu who arrived at XIaomi from Mercedes-Benz, where he worked on the design of the Vision EQXX concept.

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 will accelerate 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. It will cost $29,900.

The more powerful version of the SU7 Pro will be equipped with an 800V architecture, a 94.3 kWh battery that provides a range of 830 km, and will cost $34,000. However, the most powerful version, 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 after a 15-minute charge. It costs $41,500.

Xiaomi electric car is coming soon

The production of electric cars is expanding, so it is a magnet for all companies, even those that have never been closely related to the automotive industry. One of them is Xiaomi, which last year announced its intention to enter the automotive market with its first electric car.

Currently, Xiaomi produces 50 prototypes per week at its factory in Beijing. Mass production of the car will start once the company receives approval from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), which is expected by the end of the year. The current capacity of the factory where Xiaomi will manufacture cars is 150,000 vehicles per year, while the full capacity is 300,000 vehicles.

The technological giant is busy preparing for the start of production, and a certain number of people are already employed. The HR department is working full steam to hire 100 new workers in the production sector, and some sources claim that some of the applicants, who worked at Mercedes and Tesla, do not meet Xiaomi’s high criteria. Mass employment is expected at the end of this year or at the beginning of 2024.

Recently, photos of Xiaomi’s first car, the MS11, have surfaced, and the car is designed in the form of a sedan. Little is known about this car so far, but some information says that it could be equipped with a 101 kWh battery and have a range of 800 km. It will support 800V architecture for fast chargers up to 350 kW.
