Xiaomi SU7 officially released the price on the evening of March 28, with a price starting at 215,900 and a top configuration of 299,900, which is lower than the previous prediction.
Prices started at 215,900 and were lower than expected
The Xiaomi SU7 comes in three variants, with a standard CLTC range of 700km and a 73.6 kWh battery pack priced at 215,900 yuan, a Pro version with a CLTC range of 830km and a 94.3 kWh battery pack priced at 245,900 yuan, and a four-wheel drive Max version with a CLTC range of 800 and a 101 kWh battery pack priced at 299,900 yuan. Deliveries of the new car will begin at the end of April.
At the press conference, Lei Jun said that the standard version and Pro are completely benchmarked against Tesla Model 3, and are almost completely ahead of their opponents in terms of configuration, but admit that they are inferior to each other in energy consumption management and computing power. At the same time, the Max version of the top model is benchmarked against the Porsche Taycan, and the configuration is completely full, and the price was previously determined to be 350,000 yuan, and the price was finally cut to 299,900 yuan.
The final Xiaomi SU7 pricing was revealed, as mentioned at the beginning, the pricing of the new car is lower than previously expected, and it can be said that the pricing is also somewhat competitive in the current configuration models in the same class. Of course, like the previous new brand, Xiaomi Auto still needs the word-of-mouth support of the first batch of owners and feedback from the market to get through the first year.
Xiaomi SU7 new car
The Xiaomi SU7 is positioned as a C-segment high-performance sedan. Based on Xiaomi's self-developed Modena platform architecture, the dual-motor version accelerates from 0 to 100 in 2.78 seconds, and is equipped with a CATL Kirin battery, a 101kWh battery pack, and a CLTC range of 800km.
The core of the motor and car power, Xiaomi's self-developed motors have a total of three, of which the V6 and V6S will be first equipped on the SU7, and the more powerful V8 will be equipped on the model in 2025.
The motor adopts high-strength silicon steel and other technologies, and its speed performance has surpassed Tesla and Porsche's current motors, and has been at the forefront of the industry.
The battery of Xiaomi's self-built battery factory has in-depth cooperation with CATL, using CTB technology, the battery pack is fully integrated with the body, eliminating the chassis and reducing the longitudinal height of the body.
In addition, the battery adopts 14 layers of safety protection, inverted cells, and other protection schemes. Lei Jun said that Xiaomi cars use Xiaomi's high-efficiency dual-mode heat pump, which can work normally in the extreme cold in winter and can save electricity.
Xiaomi one-piece die-cast body
In terms of body, Xiaomi first released its self-developed body material, Xiaomi Titan alloy, and at the same time, like Tesla, it adopts the integrated die-casting mode of the rear axle, and the die-casting machine has a die-casting force of 9100 tons, which is currently one of the world's largest automotive body die-casting machines.
Xiaomi also knows that the biggest disadvantage of integrated die-casting is the high cost of repair, and the maintenance cost is very high in the event of a collision, so a three-section structure is designed for the rear of the integrated die-casting to increase the buffer area of the rear collision.
Xiaomi Smart Driving
In terms of perception, Xiaomi cars are mainly realized through zoom BEVs, which can be dynamically adjusted according to different scenes. In addition, more special-shaped obstacles can be perceived through the enhancement algorithm, and automatic noise reduction in rainy and snowy days can be used to enhance the accuracy of bad weather.
Xiaomi's autonomous driving does not rely on high-precision maps of cities, and is completely real-time generated maps to achieve accurate guidance. The press conference also demonstrated a demonstration of zero-takeover autonomous driving on a complex urban road. Of course, Xiaomi has also released functions such as valet parking and mechanical parking spaces.
Xiaomi Eco-Smart Cockpit
The smart cockpit of Xiaomi cars can be said to be Xiaomi's old business. The car is equipped with a Xiaomi large tablet, which is large at 16.1-inch 3K resolution, and the front of the car has a reversible dashboard, which will automatically flip after the vehicle is started, and the Xiaomi on-board chip uses Snapdragon 8295.
The software operating system of Xiaomi Auto is equipped with the surging OS operating system that has just been developed by itself, so that the mobile phone and tablet have the same system, and there is zero threshold for getting started, and the operation mode is very similar to that of mobile phones. In addition, the mobile phone can be directly connected with the car machine. Of course, the traditional application software on the tablet can also be installed directly on the Xiaomi car.
The most distinctive feature is that Xiaomi has reserved an interface in the car, which allows car owners to choose third-party equipment to be mounted and linked to the vehicle to achieve more functions. It will be open to third parties in the future.
