Global tech leader Xiaomi celebrated a decade in India with a bang, unveiling the much-anticipated Xiaomi SU7 electric car. This strategic launch marks a significant step towards their ambitious “Human x Car x Home” smart ecosystem vision, where technology seamlessly integrates into daily life.
Xiaomi’s Electric Vehicle Foray
The SU7 marks Xiaomi’s official entry into the electric car space. Backed by a whopping $10 billion global investment, the company aims to disrupt the automotive industry. In China, the SU7 has already garnered over 70,000 bookings since deliveries began in March 2024, with a target of reaching 100,000 units by year-end.
Stylish Design with Power
Headed by Xiaomi’s design guru Sawyer Li, previously instrumental in iconic designs like the BMW iX, the SU7 boasts a sleek silhouette reminiscent of luxury electric cars like the Porsche Taycan. This strategic design choice gauges market interest for a premium electric sedan in India, potentially rivaling established players like BYD Seal EV, BMW i3, Hyundai Ioniq 5, and Kia EV6.
Spacious and Tech-Packed Interior
Available in three variants – Standard, Pro, and Max – the SU7 offers ample space with a 4,997mm length, 1,963mm width, and 3,000mm wheelbase. A 105-liter “frunk” and a 517-liter boot provide generous storage. The aerodynamic design achieves a drag coefficient of 0.195, prioritizing efficiency.
Technology takes center stage within the SU7. The Pro and Max variants boast Xiaomi Pilot, a suite of advanced driver-assistance systems that includes LiDAR sensors, HD cameras, and an NVIDIA Drive Orin computing platform. This enables highway autopilot, self-parking, and even summoning the car remotely.
Luxurious Comfort and Seamless Connectivity
The cabin exudes luxury with a massive 16.1-inch 3K central touchscreen, a jaw-dropping 56-inch heads-up display (HUD), and a unique 7.1-inch rotating dashboard. Rear passengers get dedicated tablet mounts for added entertainment. Climate control and lighting automatically adjust based on location and time, creating a personalized driving experience.
Performance Powerhouse
The SU7 comes in rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive options. The base variant packs a 400V electric motor with 295 hp and 400 Nm torque, achieving 0-100 km/h in 5.28 seconds. The all-wheel-drive SU7 Max boasts an impressive 800V architecture with dual motors generating a staggering 664 hp and 838 Nm torque. This powerhouse rockets from 0-100 km/h in a mere 2.78 seconds, hitting a top speed of 265 km/h. With a range of up to 800 km, the SU7 prioritizes both power and long-distance travel.
Xiaomi’s entry into the electric car market with the SU7 marks a significant moment, not just for the company but for the future of smart mobility in India. With its sleek design, cutting-edge technology, and impressive performance, the SU7 is poised to be a major contender in the electric car segment.
