Xiaomi’s latest electric performance machine, the SU7 Ultra, is officially hitting the roads in China. With an eye-watering top speed of 350 km/h and a 0-100 km/h time of just 1.98 seconds, it’s making waves as the fastest four-door production car ever built. The company first unveiled the model in October last year, and now, at the Xiaomi 15 Ultra launch event, it confirmed that deliveries have begun.
A Beast in Performance
The numbers are staggering. Xiaomi has packed serious power under the hood of the SU7 Ultra, making it a track-ready hypercar wrapped in a sedan’s body.
- 1,548 PS horsepower, thanks to a tri-motor setup
- 0-100 km/h in 1.98 seconds, without the one-foot rollout measurement
- 0-200 km/h in just 5.86 seconds
- Braking from 100 km/h to zero in 30.8 meters, ensuring it’s not just fast but also safe
- Peak downforce of 285 kg, improving high-speed stability
At the heart of this performance lies the CATL Qilin 2.0 battery, offering a 630 km range on CLTC standards and featuring an ultra-fast charging system—capable of going from 10% to 80% in just 11 minutes.
Xiaomi also claims the SU7 Ultra is designed to handle two consecutive Nürburgring Nordschleife laps without overheating, making it one of the most track-capable EVs ever built.
Smashing Track Records
Xiaomi isn’t just talking numbers—they’re proving them on some of the most challenging tracks. The SU7 Ultra has already clocked record lap times for a four-door production car at multiple circuits:
Circuit | Lap Time |
---|---|
Shanghai International Circuit | 2’09″944 |
Chengdu Tianfu International Circuit | 1’26″741 |
Zhuzhou International Circuit | 1’41″806 |
Zhuhai International Circuit | 1’37″758 |
These records put the SU7 Ultra in direct competition with some of the best petrol-powered supercars, further proving Xiaomi’s ambition to lead in EV performance.
Designed for Speed and Style
The SU7 Ultra isn’t just about raw speed—it’s a visual and tactile experience. Xiaomi has gone all out with its design, using carbon fiber extensively across 21 different parts of the vehicle, including a 1.7m² carbon fiber roof. The result? A lightweight body and a premium feel.
Buyers can choose from five colors, including:
- Lightning Yellow
- Space Silver
- Verdant Green
- Pearl White
- Obsidian Black
Inside, Xiaomi has crafted a luxury cockpit featuring Italian Alcantara® microfiber fabric, upgraded sports seats with active side support, and a redesigned steering wheel wrapped in carbon fiber and Alcantara®.
One small but flashy detail—the 24K gold carbon fiber emblem—adds an extra layer of exclusivity.
Packed With Technology
Xiaomi’s smartphone experience is evident in the SU7 Ultra’s software and tech features. The HyperOS Smart Cabin is powered by the Snapdragon 8295 chip, bringing seamless AI-powered functions.
Other highlights include:
- XiaoAi AI voice assistant for hands-free controls
- Racetrack Master app to analyze track performance
- MAI (Mis-Acceleration Inhibition) and LAEB (Low-Speed Autonomous Emergency Braking) for added safety
The adaptive suspension system also comes with dual-chamber air springs and high-performance dampers, offering the perfect balance between comfort and agility.
Pricing and Availability
The Xiaomi SU7 Ultra starts at 529,900 yuan (approximately $72,725 or ₹63.5 lakh). Orders are already open through Xiaomi’s EV app and WeChat Mini Program in China.
Buyers placing an early deposit of 20,000 yuan before March 31 will receive benefits worth up to 90,000 yuan, making the deal even sweeter.
Xiaomi has also teased two optional configurations:
- “Racing Package” – Designed for those who want track-focused upgrades.
- “Nürburgring Nordschleife Limited Edition” – Will be available once the car completes its Nürburgring lap challenge.
The Big Picture
Xiaomi’s entrance into the EV market is nothing short of a statement. The SU7 Ultra isn’t just another electric sedan—it’s a bold attempt to redefine what’s possible in the performance EV space. With Tesla, Porsche, and even traditional supercar brands in its sights, Xiaomi has set the bar sky-high with this launch.
