Taking on the Tesla Titan
During a recent launch event, Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun boldly compared the SU7 to the popular Tesla Model 3. This isn’t just marketing talk – the SU7 boasts some seriously impressive specs.

Power Packed Performance
But speed isn’t everything. The SU7 packs a serious punch under the hood (or rather, under the sleek bodywork) with dual motors generating a whopping 637 horsepower and 838 Nm of peak torque. That’s comparable to the mighty Tesla Cybertruck! Xiaomi claims a driving range of 700 to 900 kilometers depending on the model, putting range anxiety to rest for long journeys.
Designed to Impress
Looks are important too, and the SU7 doesn’t disappoint. This generously sized sedan, measuring nearly five meters long and two meters wide, boasts a captivating low stance and a drag coefficient of 0.195 for optimal aerodynamics. Imagine gliding down the road in this beauty, choosing from a palette of nine stunning colors. The sleek design is further accentuated by the futuristic water drop headlights, halo tail lights, and an active rear spoiler that adds a touch of sporty flair.
Tech on Wheels
Xiaomi is renowned for its cutting-edge technology, and the SU7 is no exception. Powered by Xiaomi’s very own Hyper OS, the car seamlessly integrates with your existing Xiaomi devices, creating a truly connected driving experience. Step inside the luxurious wraparound cockpit and be greeted by multiple high-resolution screens that display everything you need, from navigation to entertainment. Advanced driver-assistance features like lane departure warning and automatic emergency braking ensure a safe and comfortable ride.

Xiaomi has crafted the SU7 with different budgets in mind. The base model starts at a competitive price of 215,900 Chinese Yuans (approximately Rs 24,90,413) and offers a 73.6 kWh battery with a range of 700 kilometers. Looking for even more range? The SU7 Pro boasts a 94.3 kWh battery with an 830-kilometer range for a price of 245,900 yuan (about Rs 28,36,464). The top-of-the-line SU7 Max boasts a massive 101 kWh battery that delivers a near-unbelievable range of 900 kilometers, all for a starting price of 299,900 yuan (approximately Rs 34,59,356).
