Xiaomi unveils its first electric car

Xiaomi launched its first electric vehicle (EV), the SU7, and revealed intentions to become a top-five carmaker. Speed Ultra sedans are slated to join the market in a few months. The company’s data suggest the new electric car might compete with Teslas at launch.  Xiaomi released the SU7 and SU7 Max. SU7 Max is all-wheel-drive, whereas SU7 is rear-wheel-drive.

Here are the specifications of the standard SU7:

• Runs: 0-100 mph in 5.28 seconds
• Claimed range: 668 km
• Top speed 210 kmph
• Power: 299 PS
• 400Nm torque

Xiaomi SU7 Max specification:

• Speed: From 0 to 100 mph in 2.78 seconds
• Range claimed: 800 km
• Top Speed: 265 kmph Power: 673 PS
• Torque: 838Nm

Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun remains hopeful despite declining demand and a supply glut in China’s vehicle market. Its operating system, which is the same as Xiaomi’s popular phones and other electronics, should make the SU7 appealing. This integration lets drivers use the company’s mobile apps seamlessly.

Xiaomi, China’s fifth-largest smartphone maker, is diversifying into EVs as smartphone demand stagnates. Xiaomi is one of the few new EV players in China to receive government approval and pledged $10 billion in vehicles over a decade.
