Xiaomi EV, during a recent Weibo session of 33 Q&As, shared insights into its strategic plans. The immediate focus is on the Chinese market with the upcoming launch of the Xiaomi SU7. However, the company expressed its long-term aspiration to establish a global presence for its vehicles.
The Xiaomi SU7 will be available in two variants: the standard SU7 and the advanced SU7 Max. The SU7 is rear wheel drive (RWD) and comes with Xiaomi's own engine, which produces 220 kW of power and 400 Nm of torque. This model can go from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.28 seconds and has a 73.6 kWh battery, offering a range of 668 km under the CLTC standard.
The SU7 Max, designed for higher performance, has all-wheel drive (AWD) and two engines delivering a maximum power of 425 kW and 838 Nm of torque. This model matches the acceleration and top speed of the standard version and can also go from 0 to 200 km/h in 10.67 seconds. It uses CATL's Qilin NMC battery with a capacity of 101 kWh, ensuring a range of 800 km according to the CLTC standard.

Lei Jun, Xiaomi's founder, chairman, and CEO, in a conversation with CCTV last December, conveyed his determination and high expectations for Xiaomi's entry into the car-making industry. He emphasized his commitment to not just participate but to excel in this new venture.
Xiaomi EV re-emphasized that the price of the SU7 is yet to be finalized and the final pricing will be announced at the official launch event.
Smartphones remain Xiaomi's core business, the Q&A said.
