The Xiaomi SU7 is a full-size four-door fastback EV, made by Chinese company Xiaomi Auto, a subsidiary of the Chinese consumer electronics company Xiaomi. It is the first motor vehicle developed by Xiaomi, manufactured at their plant in Beijing.
According to Xiaomi, 'SU' stands for 'Speed Ultra'. 'SU' may also be a reference to the Chinese word 速 (pinyin: sù), just meaning 'speed'. In any case, the car's top trim level "SU7 Ultra", and its performance, hammer home Xiaomi's intended meaning. The SU7 is available in four versions in total: the SU7, SU7 Pro, SU7 Max and SU7 Ultra.
The design team was led by chief designer Sawyer Li, who was poached from BMW. According to Lei Jun, he rejected three design proposals due to durability concerns. Xiaomi benchmarked the car against the Porsche Taycan and Tesla Model S.
The sedan is equipped with air suspension with adaptive dampers, an active shutter grille, and an active rear wing with four adjustment levels on higher end models.
The company claims the drag coefficient of the SU7, without the rooftop LiDAR module, is the world's lowest at 0.195. It also has a 105-litre frunk in addition to its 571-litre trunk.
The base, rear-wheel drive SU7 uses a FinDreams-supplied 73.6 kWh LFP blade battery. It has a single HyperEngine V6 permanent magnet synchronous motor with a power rating of 299 PS and 400 N⋅m of torque. It has a kerb weight of 1980 kg and has a range rating of 700 kilometres on the CLTC test cycle. According to Xiaomi, the base SU7 is able to accelerate from 0–100 km/h in 5.28 seconds, and speed is limited to 210 km/h.
The Pro model has the same powertrain, but the battery is upgraded to a 94.3 kWh. Range increases to 830 kilometres and top speed is maintained, but the 0–100 km/h acceleration time is increased to 5.7 seconds due to a 110-kilogram increase to kerb weight.
The all-wheel drive SU7 Max powertrain consists of a front and rear motor outputting 299 PS and 374 PS. The SU7 Max goes from 0–100 km/h in 2.78 seconds, has a kerb weight of 2205 kg.
The SU7 Ultra is powered by three electric motors with a combined poweroutput of 1547 PS. The SU7 Ultra can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 1.98 seconds, 0 to 200 km/h in 5.96 seconds, and 0 to 300 km/h in 15 seconds. Its top speed is 359.71 km/h.
