  • Xiaomi Stores Present Xiaomi SU7 Electric Sedan Following Successful China Launch

    Xiaomi Stores Present Xiaomi SU7 Electric Sedan Following Successful China Launch

    The Xiaomi SU7 electric sedan is now available in stores in China. This is coming on the heels of the official launch of the EV on December 28. The Xiaomi SU7 is equipped with a 495kW electric motor and a 101kWh CATL Qilin battery giving a range of 800km. It arrived at its first Xiaomi store less than 24 hours after its official unveiling.

    Xiaomi Expands into EV Manufacturing

    Xiaomi is a leading electronics giant but has continued to expand its business model, delving into the turf of EV manufacturing. The mass production of the model is scheduled for H1 2024 while deliveries will follow within a few months. The SU7 will be assembled in a BAIC but will bear the Xiaomi moniker. The Xiaomi SU7 electric sedan was first spotted in the Xiaomi store at the company’s headquarters in Xiaomi Science and Technology Park, Shangdi, Beijing. The model will also be showcased at other Xiaomi flagship stores across China as a precursor to its eventual sales in China.

    Display Cars and Store Renovations

    The Xiaomi SU7 will first arrive as display cars in Xiaomi stores before release to the market. The first display cars are expected to have arrived by Q1 2024 across Xiaomi stores. Many of the Mi Stores, according to store staff, are too small and located on the first floor of the shopping complex. This makes it difficult to display the SU7 but renovations are expected to be carried out on some of the stores.

    Color Variants and Xiaomi Ecosystem Integration

    The Xiaomi SU7 will be available in three color variants namely Aqua Blue, Verdant Green, and Mineral Gray. There are Xiaomi smartphones, watches, and several other accessories that were launched with similar colors to the SU7.

    The Xiaomi-developed HyperOS operating system will replace the existing architecture for all Xiaomi devices, the SU7 inclusive. This will fully integrate all Xiaomi devices into its ecosystem for seamless connectivity and a great digital experience.

    Pricing Details

    There are no details yet on the pricing of the Xiaomi SU7 but some estimates indicate it could cost up to 300,000 yuan ($42,306).
