With a starting price of Â¥529,900 ($72,990), the SU7 Ultra is positioned by Xiaomi as a ‘high-performance luxury vehicle.’
The SU7 Ultra measures 201 inches in length, 78 inches in width, and 58 inches in height, with a wheelbase spanning 118 inches. Powered by three self-developed electric motors, the sedan delivers an impressive 1,527 hp, enabling it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 1.98 seconds. According to Xiaomi, the car reaches a top speed of 350 km/h (217 mph).
Equipped with a 93.7-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack supplied by Chinese battery manufacturer CATL, the vehicle offers a China Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle cruising range of up to 620 km (385 miles). The battery can be charged from 10% to 80% in 11 minutes. The vehicle features an AI-powered voice assistant and an in-vehicle operating system, both developed by Xiaomi.
Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun revealed on social media that the SU7 Ultra received over 20,000 orders within two hours of its sales launch.
Xiaomi has also revealed that it will offer the Nurburgring Nordschleife Limited Edition of the SU7 Ultra, priced at ¥814,900 ($112,159).
