Xiaomi SU7: The Latest EV Release

The release date for the Xiaomi SU7 is drawing near, and it’s making waves in the market. Recently leaked promotional photos revealed the electric vehicle in a sleek blue color with a peculiar camera on the B-pillar, possibly for facial recognition. Whoever leaked this information could face a steep fine for breaking the Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) – the speculated fine is €391.38.

Features of the Xiaomi SU7

The stylish sedan boasts a 101 kWh battery with a claimed range of 800 km CLTC and two motors with a power output of 495 kW in its top model. Xiaomi, known for its smartphones, has been developing its first electric vehicle for three years and aims to launch it in the first half of 2024. “I entered the car production business to win,” declared Lei Jun, CEO of Xiaomi, in a recent interview, highlighting the company’s commitment with more than 3,400 engineers and an investment of an impressive 10 billion yuan ($1.4 billion) in R&D. This bold statement, at least on paper, means the SU7 could have some advantages up its stylish sleeves.

Competition and Pricing

The SU7, positioned as a more affordable competitor to the Porsche Taycan and the Tesla Model S, is slightly longer than the Taycan, measuring 4,997 mm in length, 1,963 mm in width, and 1,455 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,000 mm. It will offer two powertrain options, rear-wheel drive with a 220 kW motor and all-wheel drive with an impressive 495 kW. There will also be two battery options to choose from – a 73.6 kWh LFP battery from BYD or a 101 kWh NMC pack from CATL. The former offers a decent range of 668 km CLTC, while the latter extends it to an impressive 800 km. These specifications were released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) during Xiaomi’s market homologation process.

The SU7 is being manufactured at the BAIC Off-Road Vehicle Co. factory in Beijing and is currently undergoing trial production, with test vehicles on the roads. Performance testing at the Zhejiang International Circuit in early December suggests that Xiaomi is committed to making its mark in the electric vehicle sector.

Although no official pricing has been announced, it’s speculated that the SU7 will start at just RMB 190,000 (€24,830) at current exchange rates, which seems almost too good to be true. The high-end version could still be below RMB 300,000 (€39,100), which remains the lowest price for such a large battery, especially when combined with such a capable dual motor set.

Conclusion

The Xiaomi SU7 is a highly anticipated release in the electric vehicle market. With its sleek design, long-lasting battery, and impressive power, it promises to be a formidable competitor to established brands like Porsche and Tesla. Moreover, its affordable pricing makes it an attractive option for consumers looking for a high-performance electric vehicle.
