There is less left to see the Xiaomi car in its natural habitat, the roads. At least, the Chinese roads, since it will be in its country of origin where fans of the brand have already been able to reserve it; and not so enthusiastic, since the Xiaomi SU7 has the potential to be many people’s first electric car, thanks to its performance and possibly its price.
The latter is the only detail that Xiaomi did not make public during the presentation of the SU7, which mainly aimed to show the technical characteristics and innovations of the brand’s first car. Unlike other tech companies, Xiaomi didn’t partner with an established automaker to implement its technology, as Huawei did with its first cars; it therefore had to invest more initially to create its own platform.
However, this doesn’t mean that Xiaomi’s car will be expensive; rather the opposite is expected. Xiaomi’s plan is to repeat the same steps as with mobile phones; 10 years ago, Xiaomi was not even on the list of best-selling manufacturers, and today it occupies the third position, trailing Samsung. He achieved this by offering cheap devices, but they had everything the average user wanted; Once it reached a stable user base, it focused on the “premium” ranges with models like the Xiaomi 13 Ultra.
This would be the price of the Xiaomi SU7
We now have the best idea of the final price of the Xiaomi SU7, and it confirms suspicions. This week the first data on the insurance prices of the Xiaomi SU7 was published, necessary information so that the first buyers who have already reserved the vehicle can take out the insurance now and drive it as soon as they receive it. These data, confirmed by one of the country’s largest insurers, calculate the final price of the SU7 Max, the most complete version, at 361,400 yuan; So approximately 46,870 dollars
It must be taken into account that the SU7 Max could be the nightmare for Porsche and Tesla, in terms of performance and autonomy. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.78 seconds, surpassing the Porsche Taycan Turbo whose starting price is 169,000 dollars. With its 101 kWh batteries, it is capable of reaching 800 kilometers with a CLTC cycle charge; the Tesla Model 3 traveled 675 km on the same cycle. SO, The price of 47,000 dollars for this car can be defined as a bargain
All this data can be confirmed very soon, since Chinese media have revealed that mass production of the Xiaomi SU7 will begin in mid-February, with the first units limited. For the month of March, production will accelerate to 2,000 units and Xiaomi hopes to increase production by the middle of the year. potentially reaching 10,000 units per month in July. Therefore, we could be just a few weeks away from knowing the first real prices of the SU7 and whether the high expectations translate into sales.
