In India, Xiaomi unveiled the SU7 electric vehicle. The electric vehicle debuted internationally in December of last year, and as part of Xiaomi’s tenth anniversary celebrations, it has now been unveiled domestically.
Under the direction of Sawyer Li, Xiaomi’s head of design, who worked for the German automaker for five years, designing vehicles such as the BMW iX and Circular Vision Concept, the SU7 sedan’s look was created internally. The SU7 has dimensions of 1,440 mm in height, 1,963 mm in width, and 4,997 mm in length.
With a reported drag coefficient of just 0.195, the SU7’s streamlined design makes it one of the most aerodynamically efficient production automobiles to date.
The four-door sedan is similar to the BYD Seal and the Porsche Taycan. Its stated drag coefficient of just 0.195 is attributed to its aerodynamic design and elegant features. The SU7’s interior features a big touchscreen that takes center stage, a digital driver’s display, a large head-up display, and a panoramic glass roof. The design is basic.
The SU7 is available in China with three battery packs: a 73.6kWh unit with up to 700km range and rear-wheel drive, a 94.3 kWh unit with up to 830km range, also with RWD, and a 101kWh battery powering the two electric motors on the SU7 Max trim with all-wheel drive, offering a range of 800km as per the Chinese light-duty vehicle test cycle (CLTC).
The range-topping variant puts out 673hp and 838Nm peak torque, boasting an astounding 0-100kph time of just 2.78 seconds. Both the RWD trims produce 299hp and 400Nm torque. The top-spec SU7 Max has a top speed of 265kph.
As of now, the company has revealed no plans of launching the electric sedan in India. Prices for the Xiaomi SU7 start from ¥215,900 (Rs 24.79 lakh) for the entry-level variant, ¥245,900 (Rs 28.23 lakh) for mid-level SU7 Pro and ¥299,900 (Rs 34.42 lakh) onwards for the range-topper.
