Xiaomi SU7 Ultra will have a two-seat version too

Xiaomi is expected to fully launch the SU7 Ultra performance car later this month alongside the 15 Ultra smartphone. The SU7 Ultra was first presented in October, which is also when pre-orders started.

Ahead of the full launch and the start of deliveries, Xiaomi has now submitted a new version of the car for certification by the Chinese authorities, and this one has just two seats.

It's unclear how the interior will be modified for the two-seat version, as all we get is a change in one number on a spec list, but this will be intriguing to see for sure.

The production spec Xiaomi SU7 Ultra gets a 24ct gold 'n' carbon fibre badge

As if 1,527bhp wasn't ostentatious enough... looks like Xiaomi's faith in humankind far exceeds ours

The production-ready Xiaomi SU7 Ultra has finally landed and of all the things we weren’t expecting, it boasts its own 24-carat gold and carbon fibre bonnet badge.

Yep, one of the standout features of the SU7 Ultra is the luxury nugget adorning the front end. No word on whether the badge comes with its own tracker.

Anyway, we probably shouldn't get too distracted by the shiny bits, because another of the SU7 Ultra's selling points is the fact it has 1,527bhp. Yeah, seriously. In fact, in stripped-out prototype form it (kinda) broke the Nürburgring lap records for EVs and for four-door cars late last year. Xiaomi is planning to go back with the production car, and it reckons that track-optimised battery cooling allows it to do two full, flat-out laps.

In the words of Xiaomi chief, Lei Jun, the SU7 Ultra's performance is on par with Porsche, although the aforementioned prototype was over 20 seconds faster around the 'Ring than the Taycan Turbo GT. Undoubtedly influenced by the Taycan's styling, there's carbon fibre aplenty on the SU7 Ultra; fixed rear wing, roof, bonnet, rear diffuser… you get the picture.

 
Xiaomi delivers over 180,000 SU7s, the Ultra version sold out for two years

Xiaomi continues to see remarkable success with its SU7 line of electric cars. The SU7 Ultra, the high-performance variant of its flagship sedan, might have shattered initial sales projections, but its non-performance sibling is breaking sales and delivery records, month after month.

The SU7 has kept a steady delivery rate, with over 20,000 units hitting the road every month for the past five months. This consistency has pushed cumulative deliveries to over 180,000 units. The SU7 comes in three versions: Standard, Pro, and Max. The Standard version starts at approximately RMB 215,900 (€26,710), the Pro at RMB 245,900 (€30,500), and the Max at RMB 299,900 (€37,110).

The SU7 Ultra was launched on February 27, 2024. This powerhouse comes with three electric motors, delivering 1,548 horsepower. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 1.98 seconds, and from 0 to 200 km/h in 6.09 seconds. Xiaomi claims this makes it the fastest four-door production car available.

The SU7 Ultra starts at RMB 529,900 (€65,560), a significant reduction from the previously marketed pre-sales price of RMB 814,900 (€100,900). This price adjustment appears to have worked wonders, as the vehicle got over 6,900 orders within the first 10 minutes of its launch.

Xiaomi SU7 Max interior, design, and features review

Which version to get?

We would absolutely save CNY 45,000 and get the SU7 Pro instead of the Max (and the Ultra). The SU7 Pro is all the car you can ever need - it has a 94.3 kWh battery with a CLTC range of 830 km. It's rear-wheel drive 220 kW (299 hp) motor is more than sufficient with a 0-100 km/h time of just 5.7 seconds. That's the smart choice.

However, if you need the best of the best - get the SU7 Max. Prices start from CNY 300,000 (€39,000, £33,000, $42,000). That's not a lot of money really, for a whopping powertrain and luxury package. The SU7 Ultra is a bit too expensive - RMB 530,000 (€69,000, £57,000, $73,000) - despite its absolute brilliance on paper.

Xiaomi is expected to start selling EVs globally from 2027 and we're imploring it to. We'd love to get a SU7 on our roads!

Xiaomi SU7 Ultra first encounter

Xiaomi took the SU7 Ultra to the Mobile World Congress and displayed the beast of an EV for everyone to see.

This is our first of hopefully many more encounters with the SU7 Ultra.

The SU7 Ultra is the top-of-the-line variant of the SU7 and it's drastically different, even in terms of body panels.

The body is much more aerodynamic - the car is longer, and lower than the regular car. The front bumper has a huge splitter and there's a big wing on the back to improve downforce and improve traction. Xiaomi says the SU7 Ultra produces 285kg of downforce.

Then there's the sheer power. The SU7 Ultra has more than twice the firepower the SU7 Max possesses. The Ultra is powered by three Xiaomi-produced motors - two V8s with 578 ps, 425 kW, 635 Nm each, and a V6s with 374 ps, 275 kW, and 500 Nm. The total output is 1,530 ps, 1770 Nm (1305 lb-ft), a top speed of 350 km/h (217 mph), and a 0-100 km/h that takes just 2 seconds.

The car draws power from a 93.7 kWh CATL Qilin 2.0 liquid-cooled 800V battery that can theoretically deliver up to 630 km (CLTC) but we doubt most people would drive the SU7 Ultra as efficiently.

At 2655 kg gross weight, stopping the SU7 Ultra requires serious brakes. Xiaomi fitted the car with huge ceramics that can withstand heat of up to 1300°C (2370°F).

Certification reveals Xiaomi YU7 will have up to 770 km of range

Xiaomi's upcoming sporty crossover YU7 promises impressive range and cutting-edge technology. The most recent filings with China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) reveal a new trim level boasting a 770 km range.

The YU7, expected to launch between June and July, features the design language established by the Xiaomi SU7. We see similar "teardrop" headlights and a front bumper reminiscent of its sedan sibling. The vehicle's aerodynamic profile, semi-concealed door handles, and frameless mirrors contribute to its sleek appearance.

Measuring 4,999 mm in length, 1,996 mm in width, and 1,608 mm in height, with a 3,000 mm wheelbase, the YU7 offers plenty of interior space. The rear of the SUV sports a ducktail spoiler and distinctive "halo" taillights, maintaining design consistency with the SU7. A roof-mounted LiDAR sensor points to advanced autonomous driving capabilities. Interestingly, versions without LiDAR will still come with self-driving tech, suggesting Xiaomi is exploring vision-based solutions.

The interior of the YU7 is a departure from traditional instrument panel designs. Instead, we get a unique ultra-wide screen that spans the entire dashboard, providing drivers with all the essential information - range, speed, and navigation.

Xiaomi EV hits 200,000 delivery milestone, adjusts yearly target upwards

Xiaomi EV is celebrating the delivery of its 200,000th vehicle, a Magenta Red SU7, to a young couple. This huge milestone highlights the rapid growth of Xiaomi's electric vehicle division. What's even more impressive is the speed at which those deliveries are happening. The first 100,000 units took 229 days, but the next 100,000 were delivered in just 119 days.

The Xiaomi SU7 competes with the Tesla Model 3 in China, and it has seen huge demand since its launch. It comes in several versions: the Standard, Pro, Max, with the high-performance Ultra soon to join them. Prices range from about €26,890 for the Standard model to €66,000 for the Ultra. The company launched the SU7 in March 2024, and it has been struggling to keep up with the demand since.

Despite being on the market for a year, the SU7's popularity shows no signs of slowing down. Customers who order a standard SU7 now face a wait of over 30 weeks. The SU7 Ultra has a wait time of 14 to 17 weeks. This kind of waiting time is very unusual in the Chinese EV market. Xiaomi EV has seen over 248,000 locked-in orders for the SU7.

Xiaomi uses a watermelon to demonstrate SU7 Ultra's battery toughness

Until last year, Xiaomi was a company better known for its smartphones and home appliances. But now, this Chinese giant is taking the electric car market by storm. Its new flagship sedan, the SU7 Ultra, has impressive power and some innovative battery safety features. Surprisingly, rather than relying on traditional crash test videos, Xiaomi took a new approach to show off those features.

A watermelon, coated with the same protective material used in the SU7 Ultra's battery pack, was dropped from the sixth floor of Xiaomi's factory. The goal was to show how robust the battery protection is. The watermelon survived the fall without bursting. It's definitely an interesting way to demonstrate the coating's impact resistance.

The SU7 Ultra's battery system comes with several layers of protection. A 14-layer reinforcement with strong steel beams, a large 7.8 square meter active cooling system, and aerogel insulation all contribute to the battery's safety. An AI-driven Battery Management System and cloud-based monitoring add extra layers of security.

The actual battery is a 93.7 kWh ternary NMC battery pack, sourced from CATL. It supports 5.2C DC fast charging, allowing it to charge from 10% to 80% in just 11 minutes, giving you a CLTC-rated range of 620 km.

Xiaomi sells $5.5 billion worth of shares to boost its car ambitions

Xiaomi is preparing to seriously prop up its electric vehicle arm by raising €4.96 billion through an upsized share sale. The company is aggressively pushing into the EV sector, a venture it began only last year with the launch of its SU7 sedan. The Hong Kong-listed tech giant sold 800 million shares at HK$53.25 each, way over the intended 750 million shares, suggesting strong investor confidence.

The share sale comes amidst a surge in Xiaomi's stock price, which has jumped nearly 150% in the last six months. Despite the final share price landing towards the lower end of the initially suggested range of HK$52.80 to HK$54.60, the offering was heavily oversubscribed. Over 200 investors participated, with the top 20 securing approximately 66% of the offered stock.

Xiaomi will use the fresh funds to accelerate business expansion, research, and technology development. The investment is vital to the company's plans to ramp up its EV production and meet its revised delivery target of 350,000 units this year. For 2024, the company reported RMB 32.1 billion (€3.97 billion) in revenue for its EV business, with over 135,000 SU7 sedans delivered.

Xiaomi is getting ready to start shipping its electric cars overseas by 2027. To support this growth, the company has acquired a 52-hectare (128.5-acre) plot of land in southern Beijing for the construction of the third phase of its auto factory. Additionally, Xiaomi President Lu Weibing announced that a quarter of the company's 2025 research and development budget, roughly RMB 7 to 8 billion, will be allocated to artificial intelligence development.

Xiaomi teases the 681hp dual-motor version of the upcoming YU7

Fresh from the successful launch of the SU7 sedan, Xiaomi is close to unveiling its next electric vehicle, the YU7 SUV. The latest images shared by CEO Lei Jun give us the clearest look yet at the new model, showing its design and key features.

Visually, the YU7 maintains the same design language, featuring a front fascia almost identical to the SU7's. A rooftop LiDAR sensor suggests that the YU7 will use advanced driver-assistance systems, just like the SU7. The SUV will offer a wide array of wheel options, with apparently 26 different designs planned, including the displayed Turbofan-inspired wheels.

In terms of size, the Xiaomi YU7 measures 4,999 mm in length, 1,996 mm in width, and 1,608 mm in height, with a 3,000 mm wheelbase. This makes it quite a bit larger than the Tesla Model Y but a bit shorter than the Nio EL8.

Xiaomi EV sales keep rising, but fatal crash sends stock tumbling

Xiaomi's electric vehicle (Xiaomi EV) division continues to see strong sales, with monthly deliveries flying past 20,000 units with ease for the sixth consecutive month. The company remains confident in reaching its ambitious 2025 delivery target of 350,000 units. In March alone, Xiaomi EV reported delivering over 29,000 cars.

The Xiaomi SU7 was launched in March 2024 and is offered in three variants: Standard, Pro, and Max. The Standard version starts at approximately €26,780 (RMB 215,900), the Pro at €30,600 (RMB 245,900), and the Max at €37,100 (RMB 299,900). Deliveries for the Standard and Max versions began in April, while the Pro variant hit roads in May. Additionally, Xiaomi introduced the SU7 Ultra, a high-performance model with 1,548 horsepower, priced at €65,800 (RMB 529,900). The company reported over 248,000 locked-in orders for the SU7 and delivered more than 135,000 vehicles to date.

Unfortunately, the success is overshadowed by a recent fatal accident. A Xiaomi SU7 crashed into a highway guardrail in Tongling, Anhui, resulting in the deaths of three occupants. The incident occurred on March 29, severely damaging the vehicle's front. According to Xiaomi's statement, the SU7 Standard version was operating on its Navigate on Autopilot (NOA) function at 116 km/h. The vehicle detected obstacles and began to slow down, but the driver took control shortly before the collision with the guardrail, impacting at approximately 97 km/h. Xiaomi has formed a task force to cooperate with the police investigation and has provided driving data and system operation information.

The Xiaomi SU7 is extremely popular, with customers facing long wait times for delivery of at least 40 weeks, a significant increase from the 26 weeks reported shortly after launch. In the fourth quarter alone, Xiaomi delivered 69,697 SU7 series vehicles.
