New Xiaomi SU7 is off to a great start - 15,000 units sold in 34 minutes

On March 19, 2026, Xiaomi released a new version of its popular electric car, the SU7, and the response from the buyers was overwhelming - in just 34 minutes, 15,000 people placed their order. This proves again that many people are excited about what Xiaomi is doing with EVs. The new lineup includes three versions: Standard, Pro, and Max. You can get one for between RMB 219,900 and RMB 303,900 - about $31,870 to $43,950. To save a spot in line, buyers put down a deposit of RMB 5,000, which is around $725.

The outside of the refreshed Xiaomi SU7 looks only a little bit different now, and there's a new LiDAR sensor on the roof that helps the car "see" better. Xiaomi added a cleaning system for the cameras so they stay clear in rain or mud. The car comes with 21-inch rims and bright red brake calipers, and you can choose from nine different exterior colors. If you buy the Max version, you can even get a special "Cabrio Blue" paint job, with black mirrors making it look sporty.

Every SU7 model now comes with a black interior called "Dark Night." The seats are covered in soft Nappa leather. The front seats move in 18 different ways and have a massage feature to help you relax while you drive. In the back, the seats can lean way back into a "zero-gravity" position, making passengers feel like they are floating. On top of all that, the Max version has a glass roof that can dim itself if the sun is too bright.

All versions now use the V6s Plus electric motors. The SU7 Max is the fastest of the bunch - it can go from zero to 62 mph in only 3.08 seconds, and it has a top speed of 165 mph. To keep the car steady at high speeds, Xiaomi uses "Dragon Chassis" and stronger suspension parts. The Pro and Max versions also have air springs.

Xiaomi worked hard to fix the range anxiety that many EV buyers complain about. The Standard model can travel 447 miles on a full battery. The Pro model is the champion of distance, going 560 miles. The Max model goes 519 miles. If you do run out of power, the Max version charges incredibly fast. Because it uses a high-voltage system, it can add 416 miles of range in just 15 minutes.

The brain of the Xiaomi SU7 uses a powerful Snapdragon chip and a special computer to help the car drive itself. There are 25 different safety features that come standard. These help you stay in your lane and avoid hitting things. Nine airbags and a very strong frame made of tough steel add to the safety features, and three ways to open the doors in case the power goes out make the SU7 one of the safest electric cars on the road today.

Xiaomi also added some fun gadgets to the car. There is a built-in fridge that can keep your drinks cold or your food warm. It holds about 4.4 liters. If you love music, the car has a huge sound system with up to 25 speakers and Dolby Atmos, making it feel like you are at a concert. The car also connects to the internet using 5G and Wi-Fi 7 - your maps and apps should always work quickly.

The new Xiaomi SU7 is an impressive sedan, but Xiaomi is not stopping there. The company is preparing for the official debut of the YU7 GT - a performance monster with 990 horsepower. It is expected to travel about 438 miles on a full charge. Clearly, Xiaomi wants to have an electric car for everyone, whether you want a sleek sedan or a powerful SUV.
