The new tech giant from China, which is known for its smartphones, has made an official bid for the electric car market. In March 2025, Xiaomi showed a powerful, smart and affordable car of the future, and the price of such a model is from $ 20,000. Such a bright release caused a storm in the car market.
The development of the new Xiaomi SU7 took as many as 3 years. The company invested more than 10 billion dollars in its development and hired 300 engineers. Xiaomi has created the Modena EV platform, which is based on the integration of software and smart functions.
According to the founder of the company, this is not just an electric car, it is a continuation of Xiaomi's eco-business, in which a single system operates in a smart environment. The car can be easily synchronized with a smartphone, in which you can control navigation, climate control and even call a car remotely from the parking lot. SU7 has two trim levels - a basic and a pro version.
The basic version has 299 horsepower, acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in 5 seconds, and has rear-wheel drive. The Pro version is even more impressive - all-wheel drive, and twice the power. Such characteristics easily compete with Tesla, but the price is much lower. Both versions use a lithium iron phosphate battery, which provides a large power reserve and safety. The company is still working on improving the model, an innovative battery cooling system, modernizing the aerodynamics, and an autopilot.
The new SU7 is now not just an electric car, but a threat to European and American brands, especially in the line of inexpensive electric cars. At the moment, the following problems exist in the car market: high prices and underdeveloped infrastructure. The new Xiaomi model solves the first problem with the high price, and in the first month the company has collected more than 100 thousand applications, this is a record.
So far, the model is only available on the Chinese market, but soon Xiaomi will release its new product to the world in the markets of Asia and Europe. Xiaomi SU7 is not just a loud and bright premiere of a new model, it is a challenge for many car manufacturers in terms of competition. If Xiaomi soon enters mass production, while maintaining a low cost, SU7 will become available to millions of people around the world.
