2026 Xiaomi SU7 in Beijing – up to 902 km CLTC, 690 PS; from RM126k; over 80,000 orders since launch

The updated Xiaomi SU7 was put on display at the recent Auto China (also known as Auto Beijing) following its launch in March this year. Like the pre-update model, the refreshed offering is proving to be hugely popular, with the company announcing it has received over 80,000 orders in just 48 days.

The SU7 is offered in three variants in China, with the base option retailing for 219,900 yuan (about RM126k). This features a 73-kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery for up to 720 km of range following the CLTC standard and supports 3.5C charging, with a 10-80% state of charge (SoC) taking 20 minutes (15 minutes will get you 450 km).

The base SU7 is fitted with a rear electric motor rated at 320 PS (315 hp or 235 kW) and 505 Nm of torque, which enables a 0-100 km/h time of 5.28 seconds and top speed of 240 km/h. One step higher is the SU7 Pro, which offers the most range at 902 km thanks its 96.3-kWh LFP battery at a price of 249,900 yuan (RM144k).

The mid-range variant also supports 3.5C charging (10-80% SoC in 21 minutes; 490 km recovered in 15 minutes) and gets the same rear motor as the base option. While the top speed is identical at 240 km/h, the 0-100 km/h time is slower at 5.7 seconds, likely due to the larger battery’s weight. Both LFP variants now operate on a 752-volt electrical architecture instead of the previous 400-volt system.

At the very top of the line-up is the SU7 Max, which gets an upgrade to an 897-volt system (previously an 871-volt one). As such, its 101.7-kWh nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) battery supports 5.2C charging and can get from 10-80% SoC in just 12 minutes (670 km recoverable in just 15 minutes).

The range-topper also features a dual-motor setup for all-wheel drive, with the front unit rated at 299 PS (295 hp or 220 kW) and 338 Nm, while the rear motor serves up 392 PS (386 hp or 288 kW) and 528 Nm.

Together, the total system output is 690 PS (681 hp or 508 kW) and 866 Nm, enabling a century sprint time of 3.08 seconds and top speed of 265 km/h. This level of performance is paired with a range of up to 835 km, making the SU7 Max the variant with the second longest range of the bunch. The asking price? 303,900 yuan (RM175k).

Chassis-wise, Pro and Max variants get dual-chamber air springs and continuous damper control (CDC), with the latter also fitted with Brembo brakes. All SU7 cars come with 19-inch wheels as standard, with 20- and 21-inch (Max only) options available at a cost.

Inside, Xiaomi HyperOS powered by a pair of Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chips drive the car’s 16.1-inch 3K infotainment touchscreen and various AI functions. For the driver, there’s a small digital instrument cluster and an optional 56-inch head-up display (standard for the Max), while other luxuries include a choice of a 14- or 25-speaker setup, powered front seats (with heating, ventilation and massaging functions), Nappa leather upholstery (Max also adds Alcantara) and connected features.

A fun novelty is the magnetic plushies – an otter named Yingying and a cat named Huajuan – that use NFC to integrate with the vehicle system for further voice interaction and personalisation. Buyers can also add on a 4K gimbal camera or AI spatial interaction sensor to enhance “autonomous perception,” while a bevy of accessories are available for use with the many magnetic points inside the cabin.

For ADAS functions, a Nvidia Drive AGX Thor chip capable of 700 TOPS works with a sensor suite to enable Xiaomi’s Hyper Autonomous Driving (HAD) operating system that is part of the XLA Architecture. Adaptive cruise, city pilot assist, lane centring, autonomous emergency braking, automated parking are just some of the available features.
