There are less than 4 hours left before the Xiaomi SU7 goes on sale.
Let's first review the event context of Xiaomi Auto, on March 30, 2021, Xiaomi officially announced the creation of a car, and on December 26, 2023, Xiaomi's first car was named SU7, and on December 28, Xiaomi SU7 was officially unveiled, and at the same time, technical analysis was carried out, positioning it as a medium and large pure electric car with a maximum range of 700 kilometers. 9 days ago, the Xiaomi Auto Gigafactory was officially opened;
Today, March 28, 2024, the Xiaomi SU7 will be officially launched and the price will be announced, just three years later. The past three years have coincided with the most difficult and rapid development of China's automotive industry. During this period, countless car companies were closed back and forth, and just last month, Gaohe Automobile also officially announced its collapse.
Will Xiaomi be able to build a car successfully?
It's hard to answer, but I firmly believe that Lei Jun is capable of completing this venture. Different from Huawei's smart car and other business directions, Xiaomi is a real money choice of an asset-heavy self-owned factory car manufacturing route.
In addition, the volume of the automobile market is particularly powerful today, from the initial volume price, volume configuration, volume marketing, and volume value. Xiaomi cars face more than one difficulty.
Recently, it has been rumored on the Internet that Geely has basically blocked the SU7 of Xiaomi cars, and there is Geely Galaxy E8 after Jikrypton 007, and many people say that Geely may be the biggest obstacle to Xiaomi's car.
Actually, I don't agree with this view.
Lei Jun said that the Xiaomi SU7 goal is the best-looking, best driven, and smartest sedan within 500,000, so whether it is Geely Galaxy E8 or Extreme Krypton 007, can you dare to say that?
For the E8 and ZEEKR 007 these two cars I have test driven, I don't think these two cars are very extreme, at least the driving experience and driving fun of these two cars are far lower than the ZEEKR 001.Especially in terms of chassis, it is really average. But you can't stand these two cars to give you a pile of configurations, cheap prices.
Not to mention the price, it would be a joke to be able to compete with the Xiaomi SU7 on this alone.
Lei Jun previously posted a comparison chart of SU7 rear space compared to BMW 5 Series and Tesla Model S, with the text "C-class large space". According to the data, the SU7 has 105mm of rear knee clearance, compared to 55mm and 59mm for the 5 Series and Model S.
Xiaomi SU7 has always been the benchmark Porsche model, just a few days ago Lei Jun said on his social media that the Xiaomi SU7 standard version starts at 700 kilometers, and in the case of the same 19-inch wheels, the Xiaomi SU7 standard version has a battery life that directly surpasses the Model 3 long range version. The Xiaomi SU7 Max reaches 800 km, becoming the only tram in China to achieve both 2-second acceleration and 800-kilometer range.
The high-end version of the Xiaomi SU7, Max, adopts a dual-motor four-wheel drive design, with a maximum power of 673 horsepower, a peak torque of 838N.m, and a 000 acceleration of 2.78s. This allowed the SU7 to overtake the Taycan Turbo and enter the 2s supercar club.
Although, acceleration, torque and other performance are the cheapest parts of electric vehicles, but Xiaomi SU7 can do it, can ZEEKR 007?
The maximum voltage of Xiaomi SU7 reaches 871V, "it is a true 800V far beyond its class", and the battery life increases by 220KM in 5 minutes of charging, and the battery life can reach 510KM in 15 minutes. Higher voltages mean shorter charging times.
Not to mention that Xiaomi is enough to be proud of the ecological interconnection of cars, people, and homes, if it is said that it has the ability to open up the whole ecology, only Xiaomi can do it.
Of course, I am also very much looking forward to how the Xiaomi SU7 will complete the ecological interconnection.
What I am looking forward to even more is its price!
