Eight months ago, Xiaomi launched the SU7, and 100,000 examples have already rolled off the production lines of the factory in Beijing. This is not a surprise if we take into account that since the beginning the Chinese company has recorded an increase in demand, so for this model customers now have to wait 21 weeks.
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.
The more powerful version of the SU7 Pro will be equipped with an 800V architecture, and a 94.3 kWh battery that provides a range of 830 km. 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.
Recently, Xiaomi revealed the racing version of this model, the SU7 Ultra. It is powered by three electric motors with a total output of 1,548 hp (1,154 kW), which is enough to push the 1,900 kg car from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 1.97 seconds, 200 km/h in 5.97 seconds and 300 km/h in 15 seconds, with a top speed of 350 km/h (217 mph).
Initially, the company’s goal was to reach 100,000 SU7 deliveries by the end of 2024, but it was later announced that the goal will be met this month. The new goal is to deliver an additional 20,000 cars by the end of the year.
Xiaomi’s Beijing facility currently has a capacity of 12,000 units per month, which is 150,000 units per year. The second phase is currently under construction, which will increase production to 300,000 cars per year, and will be operational in mid-2025.
