Hypercar Xiaomi SU7 Ultra to start mass production in the first half of 2025

Xiaomi founder and CEO Lei Jun announced today that the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra will be available for sale in the first half of next year. The company revealed the SU7 prototype last Friday, featuring three e-motors, providing 1548 horsepower and acceleration of 0-100 km/h in 1.97 seconds.

The SU7 production version will feature the same battery pack, tri-motors, and chassis as the SU7 Ultra prototype, Lei Jun confirmed. However, it will miss the all-carbon design in order to keep the cost reasonable.

Xiaomi SU7 Ultra production version will go on sale in H1 2025 and offer two trims: regular and track version.

The SU7 Ultra prototype revealed last week is a performance version of the Xiaomi SU7 all-electric sedan (see specs) launched on March 28, which is also Xiaomi’s first car.

The SU7 Ultra prototype has one V6s and two V8s of in-house-developed electric motors, which Xiaomi calls HyperEngines. The combined power is 1548 horsepower. The SU7 Ultra can sprint 0-100 km/h in 1.97 seconds and 0-200 km/h in 5.96 seconds. Its maximum speed is 350 km/h.

Electricity will be stored in CATL’s Qilin 2.0 battery, which has a maximum output of 1330 kW. Even at 20%, SoC can discharge 880 kW. SU7 will feature 89V charging and support a 5.2C charge rate, meaning the car can be recharged in less than 12 minutes.

The SU7 Ultra prototype is still a four-door sedan, notably longer and wider than the standard SU7, but keeping the same wheelbase.

  • SU7 Ultra: Β 5260/2064/1406 mm (L/W/H), with a wheelbase of 3000 mm
  • SU7: 4997/1963/1440 mm (L/W/H), with a wheelbase of 3000 mm

Xiaomi SU7 Ultra prototype will challenge the famous NΓΌrburgring track in Germany in October to break the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT’s record, which is the fastest four-door production car on the ring.

The Xiaomi SU7 has three variants: Standard, Pro, and Max. Prices start at 215,900 yuan (29,500 USD). In June, it sold over 10,000 units in China, and the company aims to reach 120,000 sales by the end of the year.

Lei Jun concluded during the video stream that the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra will be β€œpriced a bit higher, but still within reach.”
