The Xiaomi SU7 surprises with its inclusion of buttons, showcasing a departure from the minimalist approach typically associated with tech companies. The SU7 boasts a human-centered inner-arc surrounding the front occupants, achieved through a technological driving axis and human-machine interaction.
The "inner arc" in the design of the vehicle ensures that all functions are conveniently positioned for the front occupants. It physically expands the space for passengers, providing a more comfortable experience, while also creating a psychological sense of space extension.

The arc extends from door to door, encompassing the steering wheel and gracefully tracing along the dashboard. Its purpose is to optimize the occupants' static posture, ensuring utmost comfort for their arms.
The Xiaomi SU7 features a floating dashboard that combines a HUD, flip instrument panel, and air outlets. This design optimizes space, allowing for a more compact volume of components and providing extra room for the occupants.

The center console of Xiaomi Auto's vehicle features four rocker switches and a Start/Stop button. These buttons control temperature, fan strength, electric rear wing, and air suspension. Xiaomi Auto believes that physical buttons provide a natural and intuitive way for humans to interact with machines, establishing an emotional connection between people and vehicles.
Xiaomi's CEO, Lei Jun, has promised that deliveries of their new car will begin in the first half of the year. The car is expected to be a highlight at the Beijing Auto Show in April. Chinese media predicts a starting price of around 300,000 yuan (42,000 USD).
