Xiaomi has officially unveiled the next-generation SU7 electric sedan, bringing a sweeping set of upgrades that push it firmly into the spotlight of the global EV market. Positioned as “The Driver’s Car for a New Era,” the updated SU7 combines longer range, faster charging, smarter tech, and enhanced safety—while still undercutting key rivals on price.
Following the success of the original model, which surpassed 360,000 deliveries in under two years and even outsold the Tesla Model 3 in China in late 2025, Xiaomi is now aiming to widen its lead with a more advanced and refined offering.
Longer Range, Higher Voltage, Faster Charging
The headline upgrade is the new high-voltage platform. Standard and Pro variants move to a 752V architecture, while the flagship Max pushes close to a true 900V system at 897V. This enables dramatically faster charging and improved efficiency.
Xiaomi claims the SU7 Max can add up to 670 km of range in just 15 minutes, with a 10–80% charge taking as little as 11–12 minutes thanks to 5C supercharging capability.
Range figures also see a notable boost across the lineup:
– Standard: 720 km (CLTC)
– Pro: 902 km (CLTC)
– Max: 835 km (CLTC)
The Pro model’s 902 km figure stands out as one of the highest in its class, translating to well over 650 km of real-world driving—comfortably ahead of most competitors.
More Power and Sharper Driving Dynamics
Performance gets a lift with Xiaomi’s upgraded HyperEngine V6s Plus motor now standard across all trims. Output rises to 320 hp for single-motor versions, while the dual-motor Max delivers up to 690 hp and can sprint from 0–100 km/h in as little as 3.08 seconds.
The new Xiaomi Smart Chassis 2.0 further enhances driving dynamics with:
– Double wishbone front and five-link rear suspension
– Dual-chamber air suspension with Continuous Damping Control
– Adjustable ride height and multiple driving modes
Improved steering response, wider tires, and upgraded braking systems—including Brembo components on the Max—ensure better grip, stability, and overall driving confidence.
Standard LiDAR and Advanced Assisted Driving
In a bold move, Xiaomi now includes LiDAR as standard across all SU7 variants—something many rivals reserve for top-tier models. The system is paired with 4D millimeter-wave radar, 11 HD cameras, and 12 ultrasonic sensors.
Powering the system is a new computing platform delivering up to 700 TOPS, enabling advanced assisted driving features via Xiaomi’s upgraded XLA architecture. The system supports:
– Highway autonomous driving
– Voice-controlled lane changes and parking
– Real-time hazard detection and defensive driving
This comprehensive hardware suite positions the SU7 as one of the most tech-forward EVs in its price segment.
Premium Interior With Smart Cabin Experience
Inside, the SU7 receives a major overhaul focused on comfort, luxury, and connectivity. The redesigned cabin features:
– Soft-touch materials across nearly all contact surfaces
– Nappa leather steering wheel and refined finishes
– Wraparound ambient lighting spanning over 3.6 meters
Seat comfort is significantly improved with heated and ventilated front seats, an 18-way adjustable driver’s seat, and an optional zero-gravity passenger seat with massage functionality. Rear passengers benefit from improved cushioning, recline angles, and enhanced headrests.
The infotainment system runs on Xiaomi HyperOS, integrating seamlessly with the brand’s “Human x Car x Home” ecosystem. A more advanced AI voice assistant adds natural conversation, multi-app control, and real-time web integration.
Enhanced Safety Across the Board
Safety has been a major focus for the new generation. The SU7 now features:
– 2,200 MPa ultra-high-strength steel in key areas
– A reinforced battery structure with 1,500 MPa crossbeams
– Nine airbags as standard
Additional improvements include a mechanical backup system for door handles, ensuring access even in power loss scenarios, and an advanced battery safety system designed to prevent fire or explosion even under extreme conditions.
Refined Design and Greater Personalization
Visually, the SU7 retains its sleek silhouette but introduces subtle refinements, including new lighting signatures, updated wheel designs, and fresh color options.
Buyers can now choose from nine exterior colors and multiple wheel designs up to 21 inches. The addition of an electric front trunk with smart access options further enhances daily usability.
Pricing and Market Position
The new Xiaomi SU7 remains aggressively priced:
– Standard: from 229,900 yuan (~$33,000)
– Pro: from 259,900 yuan (~$37,100)
– Max: from 309,900 yuan (~$44,300)
Despite the upgrades, it still undercuts the Tesla Model 3 in China while offering more range, faster charging, and significantly more advanced standard technology.
A Stronger Contender Than Ever
With its combination of class-leading range, ultra-fast charging, standard LiDAR, and premium features, the next-generation Xiaomi SU7 sets a new benchmark in the electric sedan segment.
Deliveries are expected to ramp up quickly, with Xiaomi targeting strong production volumes right from launch. If early demand is anything to go by, the SU7 could further cement Xiaomi’s position as a serious force in the global EV market.
