Xiaomi cars accelerate the track, leading the industry in a new era of competition and cooperation
Recently, Xiaomi Auto's first mass-produced model, SU7, showed strong strength in the test on the Jingang track. The fastest lap time was 1:09.54, ranking among 377 models, setting a new record for the best Chinese brand model. What's even more amazing is that the SU7 accelerates in the middle of the 60-160km/h test in only 4.9 seconds, which not only beats the domestic model, but even surpasses luxury sports car brands such as Ferrari.
The SU7's outstanding track performance is a testament to its powerful performance. This model uses all-wheel drive dual motors with a total power of 673 hp and a peak torque of an astonishing 838 Nm. With such a powertrain, the SU7 accelerates to 100 km/h in just 2.78 seconds, which is fully comparable to the performance models of supercars.
In addition to its strong power output, the SU7 also boasts excellent handling. It features an all-aluminum body and a low center of gravity design that ensures excellent handling and road feel. The intelligent all-wheel drive system deploys power in real time according to road conditions to maintain optimal grip.
These outstanding performances of the SU7 are not accidental. As early as 2021, Xiaomi Auto set up a professional motorsports department and hired senior engineers from top events such as F1 and WEC. They have extensive experience in track testing and performance tuning to ensure the performance of the SU7 production model.
From the very beginning, Xiaomi Auto has made performance and driving pleasure a top priority in its product concept. Lei Jun, CEO of Xiaomi Auto, has publicly stated many times that their goal is to create "a dream car for young people". This car must not only have strong power performance, but also have excellent handling feel, so that the driver can have an unparalleled fun experience during driving.
It is based on this concept that Xiaomi Auto has put a lot of effort into the research and development process of SU7. In addition to powertrain and chassis tuning, body aerodynamics are also a major focus. The SU7 features a streamlined body with a low drag coefficient of 0.23, a variable grille that actively optimizes air flow and a retractable rear wing to minimize drag, ensuring excellent high-speed stability and efficient energy consumption.
In addition to excellent performance, SU7 also has unique advantages in terms of intelligence and networking. It is equipped with Xiaomi's self-developed intelligent driving system, which integrates a number of leading technologies such as high-precision perception, decision-making planning, and control execution, and achieves full coverage from assisted driving to highly automated driving.
The SU7 is also equipped with connectivity functions such as 5G communication and V2X vehicle-to-infrastructure collaboration, which can exchange information with surrounding infrastructure and other vehicles in real time, improving driving safety and efficiency. The SU7 adopts a new in-vehicle system independently developed by Xiaomi, which has powerful computing power and intelligence, which can bring users an unparalleled intelligent experience.
The reason why Xiaomi Auto can achieve a leading edge in intelligence and networking is inseparable from its long-term deep cultivation in cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and 5G communications. As a technology company, Xiaomi has always regarded technological innovation as a fundamental driving force for development.
As early as 2016, Xiaomi set up a dedicated artificial intelligence and data team and began to lay out the research and development and application of artificial intelligence technology. After years of accumulation, Xiaomi has made many breakthroughs in the core technology fields of artificial intelligence such as computer vision, speech recognition, and natural language processing, and has been widely used in smartphones, smart homes and other products.
In the field of autonomous driving, Xiaomi also has strong technical strength. Back in 2019, Xiaomi set up an autonomous driving team, and the following year launched its first autonomous driving test vehicle. After several years of development, Xiaomi has made great progress in the core technology fields of autonomous driving, such as environmental perception, decision-making planning, and control execution, and has been fully applied on the SU7.
In addition to artificial intelligence and autonomous driving, Xiaomi also has a deep accumulation in 5G communication and Internet of Vehicles technology. As one of the earliest companies in China to deploy 5G technology, Xiaomi has independent intellectual property rights in core technology fields such as 5G chips, antennas, and modems, and launched the first 5G mobile phone in China in 2020.
In the field of Internet of Vehicles, Xiaomi is also one of the pioneers. As early as 2015, Xiaomi launched the first on-board intelligent hardware product in China, "Xiaomi dash cam", and then launched on-board intelligent hardware such as on-board air purifier and tire pressure monitoring. Through the R&D and application of these products, Xiaomi has accumulated rich experience in Internet of Vehicles technology.
It is precisely with its deep accumulation in cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, autonomous driving, 5G communication and Internet of Vehicles that Xiaomi Auto can take the lead in intelligence and networking, and bring users a new intelligent travel experience.
The goal of Xiaomi Auto is not only to be ahead of its peers at the technical level, but more importantly, to bring real value to users. In the view of Xiaomi Auto, the ultimate goal of intelligent and connected technology is to make cars safer, more efficient and smarter, so as to bring users a more convenient, comfortable and pleasant travel experience.
Taking SU7 as an example, its intelligent driving system can not only achieve automatic cruise on the highway, but also be able to autonomously find parking spaces on urban roads and complete precise parking. Its voice control system allows users to control the multimedia system and navigation system in the car through voice commands, which greatly improves the convenience of operation.
The connectivity capabilities of the SU7 also bring a lot of practical value to users. By exchanging information with surrounding infrastructure and other vehicles in real time, the SU7 can know the traffic conditions ahead and road conditions in advance, so that it can carry out intelligent route planning, avoid congestion, and shorten travel time. It can also adjust the vehicle's energy consumption strategy based on real-time weather information, maximizing the range.
SU7 embodies Xiaomi's years of technology accumulation in the fields of artificial intelligence, autonomous driving, 5G communication and Internet of Vehicles, and perfectly integrates these cutting-edge technologies with automotive products, bringing users a new intelligent travel experience.
The goal of Xiaomi Auto is not only to be ahead of its peers at the technical level, but more importantly, to bring real value to users. In the view of Xiaomi Auto, the ultimate goal of intelligent and connected technology is to make cars safer, more efficient and smarter, so as to bring users a more convenient, comfortable and pleasant travel experience.
