Xiaomi SU7 review: an electric car that exceeded expectations

Xiaomi has long been known for its phones, tablets, and smart gadgets, but now it has taken it a step further by creating its own electric car. And, to be honest, this is not just another attempt to "get into the trend". Xiaomi SU7 looks, drives and feels like a car from the future. Stylish design, a powerful engine, a huge range, and full integration with the Xiaomi smart ecosystem make SU7 unique.

It's a car that charges faster than you can drink coffee, has a panoramic roof, a huge screen in the cabin, and can "communicate" with your home. But the most interesting thing is that it costs much less than most similar electric cars from European brands. In this review, we'll look at why Xiaomi SU7 has become a real breakthrough in the world of electric vehicles.

We remind you that you can purchase home and commercial charging stations in our online storeand also use the public charging stations ECOFACTORcharging points located throughout Ukraine. For convenient access to charging infrastructure, we recommend using our mobile applicationwhich is available on iOS and Android.

Design and aerodynamics

Xiaomi SU7 is a large C-class sedan that immediately catches the eye. The body lines are smooth, the shape is balanced, and the proportions are based on the principle of the "golden mean". The low-slung front end creates a sense of power, while the rear spoiler and halo lights add a sporty character.

And it's not just about looks. The design is thought out to the smallest detail to reduce air resistance. As a result, the SU7 has an aerodynamic drag coefficient of 0.195 Cd, which is even better than some Tesla models. This body shape not only improves efficiency, but also makes driving quieter and smoother.

The car is available in nine body colours, including elegant Pearl White, deep Diamond Black and vibrant Lava Orange. These shades emphasise the SU7's different personality traits - from luxurious tranquillity to sporty dynamics.

Interior: space, comfort and technology

The interior of Xiaomi SU7 is a combination of minimalism, luxury and thoughtfulness. Everything is arranged symmetrically around the central axis. A large 16.1-inch touchscreen display takes centre stage on the dashboard, with a 7.1-inch instrument cluster and a 56-inch projection HUD display in front of the driver's eyes.

The materials are of high quality: soft eco-leather, neat seams, pleasant to the touch surfaces. There are several interior colour options - from calm Galaxy Gray to brighter Twilight Red.

Heated and ventilated seats, a panoramic sunroof with blackout and adaptive lighting create an atmosphere that is hard to find even in premium models.

Xiaomi paid special attention to the little things: there are two physical buttons on the steering wheel - Smart Drive to activate autonomous driving and Boost Mode for instant acceleration. This is convenient and understandable even for those who are driving an electric car for the first time.

Power and performance

The base version of the SU7 is equipped with a 220 kW (299 hp) electric motor with a torque of 400 N-m. The drive is rear-wheel drive. The car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.3 seconds. The top speed is 210 km/h.

For those who want more drive, there are SU7 Pro and SU7 Max models that offer all-wheel drive, higher power and even better dynamics.

The suspension system is also worthy of note: the front is double wishbone, the rear is five-link, with adaptive dampers and air suspension. All this makes the ride stable even on uneven roads.

Power reserve and charging

The SU7 is equipped with a 73.6 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery that delivers up to 700 km of CLTC range. This is one of the best performers in its class.

The fast charging station can top up the battery from 10 to 80% in just 25 minutes. The SU7 Max even achieves a record-breaking range of 510 km after 15 minutes of charging. For daily use, this is a huge advantage: while you're having a coffee, the car is ready to go.

In addition, the car supports 3.5 kW of V2L (Vehicle-to-Load), which means the SU7 can power other devices or even your camping kit. And the V2V (Vehicle-to-Vehicle) function allows you to charge other electric vehicles.

Xiaomi HyperOS smart technology

Xiaomi SU7 runs on its proprietary HyperOS operating system, which integrates smartphones, tablets, TVs, smart homes and now cars into a single ecosystem. This means that the driver can connect his smartphone, control home devices or watch CCTV cameras directly from the car screen.

The car supports more than 1,000 Xiaomi smart devices that can be configured to suit your own lifestyle: for example, to turn on the air conditioning at home when you drive up to the house.

There is also support for Apple CarPlay and the ability to connect an iPad as an additional screen. This makes SU7 convenient for users of other platforms as well.

Security systems and autonomous driving

Xiaomi did not skimp on safety. SU7 is built on a steel-aluminium body with a stiffness of 51,000 N-m/degree. This means that the body can withstand significant loads without deformation.

The car has 16 active safety systems, including:

• automatic braking when pedestrians or cyclists are detected;
• warning of lane departure;
• holding in the centre of the lane;
• lane change assistant;
• control of blind spots;
• a warning about the opening of the door;
• 360° camera system and parking sensors.

For advanced features, the driver can choose from two variants of the Xiaomi Pilot package - Pro or Max. Both are based on NVIDIA DRIVE Orin and Xiaomi's own algorithms, allowing SU7 to drive semi-autonomously in city or highway conditions.

Driving sensations

When you get behind the wheel of Xiaomi SU7, you immediately feel that this is not just an electric car, but a car created with an understanding of the details. The smoothness of the ride is impressive - even on city bumps, the cabin remains quiet and stable. The sound insulation is well thought out, so you can only hear the slight hum of tyres or music from the audio system in the cabin.

Thanks to its low centre of gravity, the SU7 literally sticks to the road. It is confident in corners, does not roll, and reacts without delay during fast manoeuvres. The steering wheel responds precisely, creating a sense of control that is only familiar in premium sports sedans.

In Boost mode, the SU7 comes to life completely - as soon as you touch the pedal, the car rapidly gains speed. The acceleration is smooth, without jerks, which gives you confidence even at high speeds.

The adaptive air suspension deserves special attention. It changes the stiffness depending on the surface, so the SU7 is comfortable both on the highway and on city roads. Bumps are hardly felt, even when travelling long distances. Thanks to this, the SU7 can be called not just a city electric car, but a travel car that combines dynamics, comfort and stability.

From the light touch of the accelerator to the precise response of the brakes, the SU7's handling is a pleasure to drive. This is the case when driving is not tiring, but rather enjoyable.

Environmental friendliness and production

Production on solar energy

Xiaomi SU7 is manufactured in a modern factory that operates on the principles of sustainable energy. Its roof is equipped with solar panels that generate more than 16 million kWh of clean energy every year. This is not just an energy-saving approach - it is a real contribution to reducing the carbon footprint of production.

Environmental efficiency

The production process is designed to minimise environmental impact. The 99% emissions are treated before being released into the air, and the water treatment system completely eliminates the use of heavy metals. This keeps environmental pollution to a minimum.

A real green philosophy

Xiaomi goes beyond words about environmental friendliness - the company is actually implementing green technologies. The SU7 production demonstrates how innovation can be combined with responsibility. Each stage - from the creation of parts to testing - is carried out with energy control and material recycling.

Caring for the future

SU7 is not just a vehicle, it is part of Xiaomi's environmentally conscious ecosystem. The brand proves that comfort and technology can go hand in hand with caring for nature. And while other manufacturers only talk about the "green course", Xiaomi is already implementing it.

Price and availability

The cost of models and configurations

In the Chinese market, Xiaomi SU7 is offered in three main versions - basic, Pro and Max. Prices start at ¥215,900 (approximately €28,500) for the standard model. The SU7 Pro version is priced at ¥245,900, and the flagship SU7 Max is priced at around ¥299,900.

Even in the top-end configuration, SU7 remains cheaper than most European analogues, including Tesla Model 3 and BMW i4. This allows Xiaomi to position the car as a technologically rich premium electric car at a much more affordable price.

What the buyer gets for the money

Even the base SU7 model includes everything you need: a powerful 299 hp electric motor, a range of up to 700 km, fast charging, adaptive suspension, a panoramic roof, and a full range of safety systems. Higher versions add improved interior materials, more powerful batteries, an improved Xiaomi Pilot autonomous driving system, and an expanded set of technological features.

Entering international markets

For now, Xiaomi SU7 is officially available only in China, but the company is already testing software adaptation and certification to EU standards. The company plans to launch sales in Europe, where it sees great potential, especially among owners of the brand's electronics.

According to preliminary data, the European debut is expected in the coming years, after which the SU7 may appear in Ukraine. Given the powerful charging infrastructure being developed by ECOFACTOR partners, this electric car has every chance of quickly adapting to our realities.
