Xiaomi‘s ambitious foray into the automotive market is gathering pace. The tech giant’s high-performance electric SUV, the SU7 Ultra, has been making headlines with its impressive specifications and potential launch timeline.
Recently, the SU7 Ultra prototype made headlines after completing a successful run at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, a notoriously challenging track often used for testing high-performance vehicles. This feat not only showcased the vehicle’s capabilities but also hinted at its imminent official launch. The prototype will officially attempt the Nürburgring circuit again in October this year.
According to reports, Xiaomi is planning to unveil the production version of the SU7 Ultra in the first quarter of 2025. The anticipation for this launch has been further fueled by unexpected sightings within the Xiaomi Auto App. Users discovered configuration options for the SU7 Ultra prototype, although these options were mysteriously removed shortly after.
The SU7 Ultra is poised to redefine the electric SUV segment with its cutting-edge technology and exceptional performance. Crafted with a full carbon fiber body, the vehicle boasts a remarkably low weight of 1900 kg, contributing to its impressive acceleration and top speed.
Under the hood, the SU7 Ultra houses a powerful electric drivetrain that delivers a combined output of 1548 horsepower. This translates to exhilarating performance, with the SUV capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 1.97 seconds and reaching a top speed exceeding 350 km/h. The braking system is equally impressive, with a stopping distance of 25 meters from 100 km/h.
Xiaomi has scheduled a significant launch event for the end of October, during which they will introduce the Xiaomi 15 series and Xiaomi Pad 7 series, alongside other anticipated products. This event may also shed light on the SU7 Ultra’s journey, as well as the broader Xiaomi EV roadmap.
Xiaomi’s electric vehicle, the SU7, achieved impressive sales of around 16,000 units in September, marking the fourth consecutive month of surpassing 10,000 units. The company, aiming to reach a 20,000-unit target in October, has optimized production lines with AI and smart manufacturing to enhance efficiency. Competing with Tesla’s Model 3 and Model Y, the SU7 appeals to consumers with its affordability, advanced technology, and AI driving assistance.
