Xiaomi announced the Xiaomi SU7 model year 2026 refresh with key notable upgrades to all trims, with the standard SU7 starting at RMB 219,900 ($31,870). The new SU7 gets a performance boost, a new, better-tuned chassis, better suspension and ADAS tech as standard.

All trims rely on the V6S Plus electric motor. The Standard and Pro trims have 235 kW output, up from 220 kW, while the Max variant offers 508 kW, up from 495 kW in the previous model. Battery capacities remain unchanged - 73 kWh for the Standard, 96.3 kWh for the Pro and 101.7 kWh for the Max. With these changes in the hardware, the SU7 Standard is now rated at 447 miles, the Pro offers 560 miles, and the Max can go up to 519 miles, all according to CLTC figures.

Perhaps more importantly, Xiaomi is making the ADAS-essential hardware a standard across all trims. Now all variants bring LiDAR, 4D millimeter-wave radar and Nvidia's Thor-U compute platform.

Moreover, the SU7 is now running in a new Dragon Chassis with upgrades in key points. It has high-strength materials, nine airbags and a triple-redundant door-unlocking mechanism, so passengers don't get stuck in the car during an accident.

The Dragon Chassis also includes a front double wishbone suspension with a rear five-link suspension. The Pro and Max trims also get the option to add a dual-chamber air suspension with adaptive damping with a predictive control function based on road conditions.

Xiaomi has already started the 2026 SU7 production after the company's factory underwent retooling in preparation for the new model.
