Xiaomi, the prominent Chinese smartphone manufacturer, has unveiled its first electric car series in China, named the SU7 series. This lineup includes three trim levels inspired by the iPhone series: SU7, SU7 Pro, and SU7 Max.

China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) website has featured comprehensive details and images of Xiaomi’s first electric vehicle (EV), offering valuable insights. The dimensions of the EV are 4997mm x 1963mm x 1455mm, with a wheelbase of 3000mm. The standard trim weighs 1980kg, while the Pro and Max trims tip the scales at 2205kg.

The Xiaomi SU7 EV is equipped with both rear-wheel drive (RWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) drivetrains. The RWD model boasts a single electric motor positioned on the rear axle, generating 295bhp. In contrast, the AWD version features a front-axle motor producing 295bhp and a rear-axle motor producing 368bhp, resulting in a combined output of 663bhp. The standard trim achieves a top speed of 210kmph, while the Pro and Max trims reach a top speed of 265kmph.

This sedan provides a choice between two battery types– LFP and NMC. BYD, the automotive giant, will supply the LFP pack, while CATL, a battery technology firm, will provide the NMC cells.

The SU7 will operate on Xiaomi’s proprietary operating system, HyperOS, seamlessly connecting with both smartphones and cars. Trial production has already commenced at the Beijing factory, with plans to achieve full capacity by December 2023, and deliveries in China are scheduled to commence in February 2024.
