In the while, Apple’s future of electric car model iCar is still very uncertain Another giant tech company in China has prepared to launch and deliver its first electric car called Xiaomi SU7. This is an electric car model from the newly established car subsidiary of Xiaomi, a leading smartphone manufacturer. It may take away some sales from Tesla Model 3.
Previously known by the code name MS11, this compact electric car will be produced at the BAIC factory (a well-known car manufacturer that is currently a joint venture to assemble Mercedes-Benz).
Like every car sold in the Chinese market, SU7 has been revealed with many images and technical specifications on the website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China (MIIT). This is
Previously, SU7 had leaked images with a front end that was evaluated as similar to McLaren, while the rear of the car had a Porsche-style when using a closing/opening wing. The door handle is hidden in the body to optimize aerodynamics.
Although not disclosing all information about Xiaomi’s first EV, its specific dimensions show that it is comparable to the Hyundai Ioniq 5. The wheelbase of the car reaches 3,000 mm in length, larger than the 2,875 mm parameter for the wheelbase of the Tesla Model 3. Users also have 2 choices of 19 or 20-inch alloy wheels. The radar system placed on the windshield shows that the car has driver-assistance technology.
Three different versions of this car model are SU7, SU7 Pro, and SU7 Max will be available for sale later this year. The powertrain consists of a 295-horsepower electric motor on the rear-wheel-drive variant, reaching a top speed of 210 km/h, while the AWD variant provides more power with 664 horsepower by equipping two electric motors and a maximum speed of up to 265 km/h.
Of course, with its origin coming from a smartphone brand, Xiaomi SU7 will be equipped with a compatible connection system between the phone and the car. Car News China additionally shared that this EV model will use Xiaomi’s HyperOS system – a customized operating system that can provide energy for both smartphones and smart cars.
In March 2021, Xiaomi announced that it will invest heavily with 10 billion Chinese Yuan (equivalent to about 1.4 billion USD) into the electric car production project. The first Xiaomi SU7 cars are expected to be delivered to customers starting in February 2024.
