Xiaomi, widely recognized for its smartphones and consumer electronics, has officially launched its high-performance electric sedan, the SU7 Ultra, in China. With a staggering 1,527 horsepower and cutting-edge technology, this electric super sedan is making waves in the industry.
The SU7 Ultra hit the market on Thursday, offering an unbeatable performance-to-price ratio. The car is priced at 529,900 RMB (~$72,800), making it one of the most powerful EVs at this price point.
Xiaomi SU7 Ultra Power
At the heart of the SU7 Ultra is a three-motor powertrain, producing a combined 1,527 hp. Xiaomi claims this allows the car to accelerate from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in just 1.98 seconds, without the one-foot rollout method often used by EV manufacturers to enhance acceleration figures.
With a top speed of 217 mph, the SU7 Ultra is positioned as a true competitor in the electric supercar segment.
Xiaomi SU7 Ultra Performance
The Xiaomi SU7 Ultra is not just about straight-line speed. The company states that it holds the lap record for a production car at the Shanghai International Circuit, completing a lap in 2:09.944.
During development, Xiaomi also sent a stripped-down prototype to the Nürburgring Nordschleife, where it set an unofficial lap time of 6:46.874—the fastest ever for a four-door car. Xiaomi now plans to send a production version to the Nürburgring to establish an official record, after which a special Nürburgring Nordschleife Limited Edition may be released.
Xiaomi SU7 Ultra Battery and Charging
Powering the SU7 Ultra is a CATL Qilin 2.0 battery with a 93.7 kWh capacity. Xiaomi claims that the car can charge from 10-80% in just 11 minutes using a fast DC charger.
To ensure peak performance, the battery is equipped with an advanced cooling system, allowing it to maintain efficiency even under extreme driving conditions.

🔹 21-inch carbon-hybrid wheels
🔹 Pirelli P Zero Trofeo RS semi-slick tires
