At the end of March, Xiaomi officially introduced its first car, the SU7, which will soon enter production. It is a fully electric sedan for which the Chinese tech giant received more than 50,000 orders in less than half an hour after its presentation. Now comes the information that Xiaomi is working on the development of its second car and its first SUV.

The Xiaomi SUV should bring a larger battery and extended range, and some information says that it will not be built on the Modena platform like the SU7, but on a completely new platform. It will be similar in size to the Porsche Cayenne, and its rival will be the Li Auto L9.

The artist known as Sugar Chow has released the first renders showing the SUV with front and rear lights similar to those on the SU7, but integrated into the body like the lights on the Ferrari Purosangue. It should be noted that Xiaomi has not yet released any information about its first SUV.

When it comes to SU7, it will come 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.
