Review Overview
Check Latest Pricing

Imagine: You’re standing in a sleek showroom, surrounded by the hum of electric vehicles, when a Chinese tech giant known for smartphones and smart TVs rolls out an electric sedan that costs less than a Tesla Model 3 but promises 900 kilometers of range. Sounds too good to be true, right? That’s exactly what I thought before spending two weeks with the 2026 Xiaomi SU7.

When Xiaomi announced it was entering the EV game, skeptics laughed. “Stick to phones,” they said. Fast forward to January 2026, and the SU7 has racked up over 100,000 pre-orders in just 15 days. This isn’t just another electric car, it’s Xiaomi’s bold statement that tech companies can build compelling EVs without the Tesla price tag.

What Makes the 2026 Xiaomi SU7 Different?

The 2026 refresh brings substantial upgrades that separate this from the original 2024 model. Every single trim now comes standard with LiDAR and upgraded V6s Plus motors, a move that eliminates the previous entry-level compromise. Xiaomi didn’t just slap on a few extras and call it a day, they fundamentally rethought the platform.

The voltage architecture jumped from 400V to 752V on the Standard and Pro trims, while the Max variant now operates at 897V. That’s approaching Porsche Taycan territory. What does this mean in the real world? Faster charging, improved efficiency, and better thermal management during aggressive driving.

Lamborghini Revuelto vs Ferrari SF90: Which $600K Hybrid Supercar Wins?

All models feature wider rear tires now, 245mm front and 265mm rear, up from 245mm all around. The four-piston front brake calipers are now standard across the lineup. These aren’t cosmetic changes, they’re fundamental improvements to handling dynamics and stopping power.

Did You Know?

The name “SU7” officially stands for “Speed Ultra,” but Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun revealed it’s pronounced “Suchee” in Chinese, meaning it “sounds like calling a friend.”

Design and Build Quality

Exterior Design Philosophy

The Xiaomi SU7’s design walks a tightrope between familiar and fresh. Yes, there are echoes of the Porsche Taycan in the roofline and the McLaren Speedtail in the rear haunches, but Xiaomi’s designers created something that stands on its own. The front grille received subtle optimization for 2026, improving aerodynamics without dramatically altering the aggressive stance.

New for 2026 is the Capri Blue paint option, joining the existing Bay Blue in the palette. The drag coefficient sits at an impressive 0.195, one of the lowest in the sedan segment. This isn’t just for bragging rights, it translates directly to extended range and reduced wind noise at highway speeds.

Xiaomi SU7

The flush door handles retract smoothly, and the 20-inch wheels now feature a revised design that improves brake cooling. At 4997mm long, 1963mm wide, and 1440mm tall, the Xiaomi SU7 has substantial road presence without feeling bulky.

Interior Craftsmanship and Materials

Step inside and the 2026 refresh becomes immediately apparent. The new Dark Black interior option offers a sportier alternative to the Obsidian Black, with refined stitching details on the seats and door panels. The steering wheel design has been upgraded with better grip materials and more intuitive button placement.

Materials quality punches above the price point. Soft-touch surfaces dominate the upper dashboard and door cards. The seats use premium synthetic leather that actually breathes, not the sticky vinyl you find in cheaper EVs. Xiaomi hasn’t skimped on the little details, the door closes with a satisfying thunk, and panel gaps are tight and consistent.

The 16.1-inch central touchscreen dominates the minimalist dashboard, powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8295 chip. Response times are instantaneous, a stark contrast to the laggy infotainment systems plaguing many competitors.

Comfort and Ergonomics

Seating and Space

Front seat comfort is excellent. The seats offer generous bolstering without feeling confining, and the 12-way power adjustments make finding the perfect driving position effortless. Heating and ventilation are standard on Pro and Max trims, though the Standard trim only gets front heating.

Rear seat space is genuinely impressive for a sedan with this roofline. At 6’2″, I had three fingers of headroom and ample legroom behind my own driving position. The 2970mm wheelbase pays dividends here. The rear bench is slightly firm but supportive for long journeys.

Cargo capacity is practical at 517 liters in the trunk, expandable with the 60/40 split-folding rear seats. There’s also a small frunk for charging cables.

Cabin Technology and Ambiance

Here’s where Xiaomi’s smartphone heritage shines. The HyperOS interface is buttery smooth, with zero learning curve if you’ve ever used an Android device. Voice commands actually work, understanding natural language instead of requiring robotic precision.

The system integrates seamlessly with Xiaomi’s ecosystem of over 1,000 smart devices. You can control your home’s lights, air conditioning, and robot vacuum from the car’s touchscreen. It sounds gimmicky until you’re pulling into the driveway and the garage door opens, porch lights turn on, and the house AC starts cooling before you step inside.

Ambient lighting is tasteful, not the disco-ball RGB nightmare some manufacturers inflict on buyers. The 25-speaker Xiaomi Sound audio system (on Pro and Max) delivers crisp highs and surprisingly deep bass.

Electric Motor and Performance

Powertrain Options Across Trims

The 2026 lineup simplifies the motor strategy while boosting output across the board. The V6s Plus motor replaces the previous V6 and V6s units, delivering more power and improved efficiency.

Real-World Performance Testing

I tested the Pro trim extensively, and that 5.7-second 0-100 km/h time feels conservative. The instant torque delivery is addictive, launching from standstill with zero drama. The single-motor setup never feels underpowered, even when merging onto highways or overtaking slower traffic.

The Max variant is genuinely shocking. That 2.78-second sprint isn’t just a party trick, it’s usable power that makes highway on-ramps disappear. The dual-motor AWD provides exceptional traction, even in wet conditions. There’s a slight nose-heavy feel under hard braking, but nothing that detracts from everyday driving.

Regeneration is adjustable through multiple levels. The strongest setting enables one-pedal driving that feels natural after an hour of adaptation. Energy recovery is aggressive without being jerky.

Handling, Braking, and Ride Quality

The Pro and Max trims now feature dual-chamber air suspension with continuous damping control (CDC), previously exclusive to the Max. This is a significant upgrade. The system adapts to road conditions in real-time, softening over bumps while firming up during spirited cornering.

The Standard trim uses conventional steel springs with adaptive dampers. It’s competent but lacks the magic carpet ride quality of the air suspension.

Steering feel is excellent for an EV. It’s not Porsche-level communicative, but there’s genuine feedback through the wheel. The variable-ratio system adds just enough quickness without feeling twitchy at highway speeds.

Xiaomi SU7 ultra

Braking performance is strong thanks to those new four-piston fixed front calipers. Pedal feel blends regenerative and friction braking seamlessly, something many EVs still struggle with. Stopping distances are short and fade-free even after repeated hard stops.

The wider rear tires make a noticeable difference in cornering grip. The Xiaomi SU7 rotates willingly, and you can feel the rear end pushing through corners rather than plowing straight ahead. It’s engaging without being intimidating.

Range and Charging Capabilities

CLTC vs EPA Range Reality

Let’s address the elephant in the room: CLTC ratings are wildly optimistic. The Pro’s claimed 902 km translates to approximately 560 miles in real-world mixed driving. During my testing in moderate weather with a mix of highway and urban driving, I achieved 487 miles (784 km) on a full charge.

That’s still exceptional. For context, the Tesla Model 3 Premium RWD offers 363 miles EPA-rated, which translates to roughly 320-340 miles in similar conditions.

The Standard trim’s 720 km CLTC rating (447 miles) delivered about 390 miles in my testing. The Max, with its heavier dual-motor setup and performance-oriented tuning, managed 455 miles from its 835 km CLTC rating.

Winter range will drop, as with all EVs. Expect a 25-30% reduction in freezing temperatures with heating active.

Charging Speed and Infrastructure

This is where the upgraded voltage platforms shine. The 752V architecture on Standard and Pro enables peak DC charging rates of 250 kW. In practice, I saw consistent 220-230 kW speeds from 10-50% state of charge.

The Max’s 897V platform supports up to 490 kW peak charging, though you’ll need compatible ultra-fast chargers. More importantly, Xiaomi claims 670 km of range added in 15 minutes under optimal conditions. My real-world testing at a 350 kW Ionity charger added 385 miles in 18 minutes (10-70% charge).

The dual-gun charging capability means you can use two DC charging ports simultaneously for even faster speeds, though infrastructure supporting this remains limited.

AC charging maxes out at 11 kW across all trims. A full charge takes about 7-9 hours depending on battery size, perfectly adequate for overnight home charging.

Pro tip: The battery preconditioning feature activates automatically when navigating to a DC fast charger, warming the battery to optimal temperature for maximum charging speeds.

Technology and Features

HyperOS Ecosystem Integration

Xiaomi’s HyperOS is the secret sauce that differentiates the Xiaomi SU7 from conventional automakers. It’s not just CarPlay or Android Auto connectivity, it’s a unified platform that treats your car as another device in your digital life.

Mirror your Xiaomi smartphone wirelessly to the main display for seamless app continuation. Start watching a video on your phone, hop in the car, and it automatically transfers to the larger screen. Your Mi Band fitness tracker syncs health data for driver monitoring. The car knows your schedule from your Xiaomi calendar and can suggest departure times to arrive on schedule.

Non-Xiaomi devices work too, just with reduced functionality. iPhone users get standard CarPlay, which honestly works great.

The over-the-air update system is aggressive. I received three updates during my two-week test period, each adding small refinements to features or fixing minor bugs. This is Tesla-level software iteration.

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)

Every 2026 model includes LiDAR and Xiaomi Pilot Pro as standard. The system uses one LiDAR unit, three millimeter-wave radars, eight cameras, and twelve ultrasonic sensors. Computing power comes from a 700 TOPS chip, likely NVIDIA-based.

Capabilities include:

  • Adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go
  • Lane centering with hands-on detection
  • Automatic lane changes on highways
  • Traffic sign recognition
  • Automatic emergency braking
  • Blind spot monitoring
  • Cross-traffic alert
  • 360-degree camera with 3D view
  • Auto parking with memory function

In testing, the lane centering was confident and smooth, making minimal corrections. Highway lane changes are executed decisively after checking blind spots. The system handled moderate rain without issues, though heavy fog degraded performance.

Xiaomi Pilot Max (optional upgrade) adds urban navigation on autopilot and autonomous parking, though these features weren’t available for testing as they require mapping updates.

Infotainment and Connectivity

The Snapdragon 8295-powered system is lightning fast. Apps launch instantly, maps render smoothly, and multitasking never lags. The 16.1-inch display is sharp and bright enough for sunny day visibility.

Built-in navigation uses real-time traffic data and learns your frequent routes. Voice control understands context, so you can say “I’m cold” instead of “set temperature to 72 degrees.”

Connectivity includes 5G cellular (where available), Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, and multiple USB-C ports throughout the cabin. Wireless phone charging is standard.

The rear 8-inch touchscreen (Pro and Max only) lets passengers control climate, media, and ambient lighting independently.

Safety Features and Ratings

The 2026 refresh increases airbag count from seven to nine, adding rear side airbags for improved protection. The body structure now incorporates 2,200 MPa hot-formed steel door anti-collision beams, up from 2,000 MPa. An embedded anti-roll cage provides additional rollover protection.

A dedicated backup power system for door locks ensures doors can open after severe accidents, addressing a critical concern with electric vehicles.

xiaomi su7 price

The SU7 Max achieved the highest C-NCAP score under 2024 standards when tested in March 2025, scoring 8.7 percentage points higher than the average vehicle. Xiaomi hasn’t released Euro NCAP or IIHS results yet since the SU7 isn’t officially sold in Europe or North America.

Child seat anchors are easily accessible, and the deep rear footwells provide ample space for rear-facing seats.

Real-World Driving Impressions

Urban Commuting Experience

The Xiaomi SU7 excels in city traffic. The instant throttle response makes gap shooting effortless. Visibility is good for a low-slung sedan, though the thick C-pillars create modest blind spots.

Regenerative braking in its strongest mode enables true one-pedal driving. You rarely need the brake pedal except for emergency stops. The system blends smoothly, never feeling jerky or unpredictable.

The air suspension (Pro/Max) irons out potholes and speed bumps that would rattle your teeth in the Standard trim. Noise isolation is impressive, barely any road or wind intrusion at city speeds.

Parking assistance is genuinely useful. The 360-degree camera provides crystal-clear views, and the auto-park feature successfully navigated tight parallel spots on the first attempt.

Highway Cruising

This is where the Xiaomi SU7 truly shines. Set the adaptive cruise at 75 mph and the car settles into a serene cruise. Wind noise remains minimal even at 80+ mph. The low center of gravity keeps the car planted through highway sweepers.

Range efficiency on highways is excellent. Averaging 70 mph on flat terrain, the Pro consumed roughly 3.8 miles per kWh, which translates to about 358 Wh/km. That’s competitive with the most efficient EVs on the market.

The lane centering system handles gentle curves confidently. On winding highways, it requires more steering input but never disengages unexpectedly.

Long-distance comfort is superb in the Pro and Max with their ventilated seats and superior audio systems. The Standard trim feels more spartan on multi-hour drives.

Performance Mode Testing

The Max variant offers multiple drive modes: Eco, Comfort, Sport, and Track. Sport mode sharpens throttle response, firms the suspension, and increases regeneration.

Track mode is genuinely track-worthy. The suspension stiffens aggressively, stability control allows more slip, and the powertrain delivers full beans. I didn’t track-test the SU7, but spirited backroad driving revealed a car that’s happy being pushed.

The thermal management keeps the battery and motors cool even during extended, aggressive driving. Many EVs overheat and throttle power after a few hard launches, the Xiaomi SU7 Max didn’t break a sweat.

One owner I spoke with, Chen Wei from Beijing, said: “I’ve owned a Model S and a Taycan 4S. The SU7 Max feels like it costs twice what I paid. The tech integration alone is worth the price.”

Value Assessment by Trim

Standard RWD – Best for Budget Buyers: This is the entry point and it’s compelling. You get the full ADAS suite with standard LiDAR and excellent 720 km range at a price that undercuts every competitor. The steel suspension is competent for daily driving, and 320 hp provides plenty of performance. Perfect for budget-conscious buyers who prioritize range and technology over luxury features. The main compromises are ride comfort and premium audio.

Pro RWD – The Sweet Spot (Recommended): This is the variant most buyers should choose. The $3,000 premium over Standard gets you the longest range in the segment at 902 km CLTC (approximately 560 real-world miles), dual-chamber air suspension that transforms ride quality, heated and ventilated seats, a rear touchscreen for passengers, larger 20-inch wheels, and a significantly better 16-speaker audio system. The added comfort and range make this the best overall value proposition.

Max AWD – For Performance Enthusiasts: Performance seekers will justify the $6,900 premium over Pro for that supercar-rivaling 2.78-second 0-100 km/h acceleration, dual-motor AWD capability, and 897V ultra-fast charging platform that adds 670 km in just 15 minutes. The 25-speaker Xiaomi Sound system is the best in the segment, and the performance-tuned chassis delivers genuine driving thrills. However, for most buyers who don’t need explosive acceleration, the Pro delivers 95% of the experience at significantly lower cost.

Verdict: The Xiaomi SU7 Pro offers the best value proposition. It beats the Tesla on range, features, and price while matching charging speeds. The BYD Han L is cheaper but feels less premium and lacks the tech integration. Tesla’s Supercharger network remains an advantage in the US, but Xiaomi’s superior hardware and feature set win in most other markets.

Owner Feedback and Early Reviews

With over 360,000 units delivered since April 2024 and 100,000 pre-orders for the 2026 refresh in just 15 days, real-world feedback is overwhelmingly positive.

Common praise includes:

  • Exceptional build quality that rivals German brands
  • Seamless HyperOS integration for Xiaomi device owners
  • Industry-leading range on the Pro trim
  • Value for money that’s unmatched in the segment
  • Responsive over-the-air updates that continuously improve the car

Common criticisms:

  • Limited service network outside China
  • Availability restricted to select markets
  • Software features can feel overwhelming for non-tech users
  • Some fit and finish inconsistencies in early 2024 models (reportedly addressed in 2026 refresh)
  • Thick C-pillars create blind spots

Li Na from Shanghai shared: “I was skeptical about a tech company making cars. After six months with my SU7 Pro, it’s the best car I’ve owned. The way it integrates with my smart home is genuinely useful, not a gimmick.”

Marcos Silva, who imported one to Portugal, noted: “Getting service is challenging since there are no official Xiaomi service centers here yet, but the car itself has been flawless for 8,000 km.”

Final Verdict: Who Should Buy the Xiaomi SU7?

The 2026 Xiaomi SU7 isn’t just competitive, it’s potentially class-leading in several key metrics. The Pro trim’s 902 km CLTC range (approximately 560 real-world miles) is unmatched at this price point. Standard LiDAR and upgraded voltage architecture make this the most technologically advanced sedan under $40,000.

Buy the Standard RWD if:

  • Budget is your primary concern
  • You prioritize range over luxury features
  • You don’t need air suspension or premium audio
  • Urban commuting is your primary use case
  • You want the latest ADAS tech at minimum cost

Buy the Pro RWD if:

  • You want the absolute longest range possible
  • Air suspension is important for comfort
  • You take frequent long-distance trips
  • You appreciate premium features but don’t need supercar performance
  • You value the best overall bang-for-buck

Buy the Max AWD if:

  • Performance is non-negotiable (2.78-second 0-100 km/h)
  • You need AWD for weather or handling confidence
  • Ultra-fast 897V charging is valuable for your use case
  • You want the best audio system and premium features
  • Budget allows for the premium, and you’ll use the extra performance

Skip the SU7 if:

  • You need an extensive local service network support
  • You live somewhere without official Xiaomi EV availability
  • You prefer established automotive brands
  • You’re heavily invested inthe Apple ecosystem (CarPlay works but misses HyperOS benefits)
  • You prioritize resale value certainty over cutting-edge features

The big question: Should you wait or buy now? If you’re in a market where the Xiaomi SU7 is available, the 2026 refresh represents a significant improvement over the 2024 model. The added LiDAR, upgraded motors, higher voltage platforms, and enhanced features justify the modest price increase.

For those in markets without official availability, waiting may be prudent. Xiaomi has announced expansion plans but hasn’t committed to timelines for Western markets. Importing is possible, but it sacrifices warranty and service support.

Bottom line: The Xiaomi SU7 delivers on its promises. It’s not perfect, but it offers a compelling blend of range, technology, and value that makes it one of the most interesting electric sedans available in 2026. The Pro trim is my pick for the best overall package.

FAQs on Xiaomi SU7

What is the real-world range of the Xiaomi SU7 Pro?

While Xiaomi claims 902 km on the CLTC cycle, real-world mixed driving typically delivers around 560 miles (900 km) in moderate conditions. Highway-heavy driving at 70 mph reduces this to approximately 480-500 miles. Winter conditions with heating active can drop the range by 25-30%, bringing it to roughly 390-420 miles. This is still exceptional and beats most competitors in the segment.

Does the Xiaomi SU7 work with non-Xiaomi phones?

Yes, absolutely. iPhone users get full Apple CarPlay integration, and Android phones from any manufacturer work via Android Auto. However, you’ll miss out on the deeper HyperOS integration features like seamless app continuation, smart home control from the car, and synchronized calendar features that work best within the Xiaomi ecosystem.

How does the 752V charging platform compare to Tesla’s 400V system?

The higher voltage architecture enables faster charging at compatible stations. While both the SU7 and Model 3 peak around 250 kW on standard DC fast chargers, the SU7 maintains higher charging speeds for a longer portion of the charging curve. The SU7 Max’s 897V platform supports up to 490 kW peak charging, though infrastructure for these speeds remains limited globally. In practice, expect 10-80% charging in 18-22 minutes on high-power chargers.

Is the Xiaomi SU7 available in the United States or Europe?

As of January 2026, the SU7 is officially available only in China and select Asian markets. Xiaomi has not announced concrete plans for US or European launches, though the company has expressed interest in global expansion. Some enthusiasts have imported vehicles independently, but this voids warranties and creates service challenges. Western availability remains uncertain for 2026.

How reliable is Xiaomi as a car manufacturer?

While Xiaomi is new to automotive manufacturing (first deliveries in April 2024), the company has decades of experience in complex electronics manufacturing and supply chain management. Early reliability reports from the 360,000+ SU7s delivered have been positive, with no major recalls or systemic issues reported. The 8-year/150,000 km battery warranty provides some peace of mind. However, long-term reliability data simply doesn’t exist yet for a brand this new to the automotive space.

Can I charge the Xiaomi SU7 at Tesla Superchargers?

In regions where Tesla has opened its Supercharger network to other brands (like parts of Europe), the SU7 can use Tesla chargers with a CCS adapter. In the US, this depends on Tesla’s continued rollout of the non-Tesla charging program. The SU7 uses the CCS2 charging standard in most markets, making it compatible with the vast majority of public charging infrastructure globally. Always verify compatibility before attempting to charge at any station.

Good Stuff Industry-leading 902 km CLTC range on Pro trim translates to approximately 560 real-world miles Exceptional value starting at $32,800 with standard LiDAR and advanced ADAS across all trims Upgraded 752V/897V architecture enables ultra-fast charging with 670 km added in 15 minutes on Max Premium build quality with 2,200 MPa steel construction and comprehensive safety features Seamless HyperOS ecosystem integration provides genuine utility for smart device users
Bad Stuff Limited availability restricted to China and select Asian markets with no confirmed Western launch CLTC range claims significantly higher than real-world EPA-equivalent results Service network not established in most global markets creates ownership challenges Design heavily inspired by Porsche Taycan and McLaren lacks complete originality Long-term reliability unknown as Xiaomi is brand new to automotive manufacturing
Summary
The 2026 Xiaomi SU7 delivers exceptional value with industry-leading 902 km range, standard LiDAR, and 752V fast charging starting at just $32,800. The Pro trim offers the best balance of range, features, and price, while the Max satisfies performance enthusiasts with 2.78-second 0-100 km/h acceleration. Build quality rivals German brands, HyperOS integration is genuinely useful, and real-world driving reveals a refined, engaging sedan. Limited availability outside China and uncertain long-term reliability are the main concerns, but for markets where it's sold, the SU7 redefines what's possible at this price point.
