We can add another famous name to the list of car manufacturers: the Chinese Xioami presented its first electric car, the SU7, with which it aims to enter the luxury sedan category. The company has invested in advanced technologies and the parameters of the car can boldly compete with the current top of the range models on the market.
Two motors and very fast charging
The SU7 will be available on the Chinese market in two variants, which will differ in capacity and battery type, as well as performance and autonomy. The most powerful and most expensive version of the SU7 Max will be equipped with a pair of engines with a total output of 495 kW.
The driving force will be fast charging, which with the SU7 Max can charge a range of 200 km in 5 minutes, and energy for 510 km should be available in 15 minutes of charging.
Xiaomi a comprehensive presentation it also showed the technologies it will use in production. It will be supplied by the Chinese manufacturer BAIC, which, among other things, produces Mercedes-Benz cars for the Chinese market. For example, the so-called HyperCasting, which is used for casting aluminum structures under very high pressure, is similar to Tesla’s Giga Casting.
An interesting feature are accumulators that use a CTB (cell-to-body) construction, where the accumulator itself forms part of the car’s structure. The batteries will be supplied by the Chinese giants CATL and BYD, the cheapest model will be of the LFP type and the more expensive SU7 Max of the NMC type. With it, Xiaomi will achieve a high-voltage architecture of 800V with a maximum voltage of 871V. The base model will use a 400V architecture.

Brand new system
Xiaomi has developed the HyperOS operating system for its car, which in the case of a new car will drive a large central display with a 16.1″ diagonal and 3K resolution. The environment resembles what we know, for example, from tablets iPad, which can work with multiple application windows in the latest versions of the iPad operating system. Here too the driver will be able, for example, to divide the display into thirds and use them for different applications such as navigation, messages or a music player. However, it is also possible to mirror the phone’s screen onto the display. However, Xiaomi does not mention possible support for the Apple Car Play or Android Auto platforms and one can rather rely on their absence.
A specialty will be the CarloT system, which will extend the same software functionality to other displays in the car. For example, in the images Xiaomi showed other large displays in front of the rear seats.
Own autopilot
Xiaomi is also developing another software internally: the autonomous control system will work with data from 11 cameras, 12 ultrasonic radars and lidars. By the end of 2024, cars should be able to drive fully autonomously in Chinese cities. The computing power will be handled by a unit built on a pair of Nvidia Orin-X chips. The interior display will be powered by the Snapdragon 8295 chip. In addition to the central display, there will be a separate 7.1-inch display in front of the steering wheel and a HUD head-up display in the windshield.
The first Xiaomi cars will start driving on Chinese roads in February next year. The manufacturer has not yet announced the price, but for the basic model you can count on a traditional price of around one million crowns. No deliveries are yet scheduled for Europe or North America. In addition to the bright blue, the SU7 will be available in two other colors: green and gray.
