The Xiaomi SU7, the first electric vehicle from Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi, has recently been unveiled, marking a significant entry into the automotive market. This ambitious project, led by Xiaomi's CEO Lei Jun, reflects the company's foray into electric vehicle technology, aiming to compete with established brands like Porsche and Tesla.
The Xiaomi SU7 comes in two variants: the standard version and the more powerful SU7 Max. The SU7 Max features a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system, delivering a remarkable 664 horsepower and a top speed of 265 km/h. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.78 seconds, slightly outperforming the Porsche Taycan Turbo in speed. The vehicle also boasts an impressive 800 km range on a single charge, thanks to its 101kWh battery developed in collaboration with CATL. Additionally, the battery supports rapid charging, gaining 510 km of range in just 15 minutes.
On the other hand, the standard SU7 model is equipped with a single electric motor, offering a rear-wheel drive setup. It delivers 295 horsepower with 400 Nm of torque, and can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.28 seconds. This version has a slightly lower range of 668 km on a single charge, provided by a 73.6 kWh battery.
