Xiaomi presented its biggest gadget - the SU7 electric car (13 photos)
Xiaomi held a big event in China, the main element of which was the official demonstration of the SU7 electric sedan. Its most powerful version accelerates to 100 km/h in just 2.78 seconds. However, in parallel, many related developments were shown, the implementation of which should ensure that Xiaomi enters the list of leaders in the global automotive industry.
The dimensions of the sedan are 4997x1963x1440 mm with a three-meter wheelbase. Thus, Xiaomi SU7 is slightly larger than another battery-powered product from China, Zeekr 007. In addition, it turned out to be slightly more dynamic in accelerating to 100 km/h, which will be provided by a combination of two motors developing 673 hp. and 838 Nm. Maximum speed is 265 km/h. The basic modification will receive one engine with 299 horsepower and will accelerate to hundreds in 5.28 seconds.
Thanks to a 101-kilowatt battery and an aerodynamic drag coefficient of only 0.195 (in the version without lidar on the roof), the new product will travel up to 800 kilometers without recharging. For the basic version, 668 kilometers are declared. It is expected that the production SU7 will receive four modifications - they will differ in power reserve depending on the battery and engine, with a minimum range of 628 kilometers. 15 minutes is enough to recharge the battery for 510 kilometers (Zeekr 007 has a version with faster charging).
The cabin will feature a 7.1-inch instrument panel and a 16.1-inch central display, as well as a 56-inch visible diagonal projection onto the windshield. The media capabilities will be controlled by the Qualcomm 8295 processor and the latest Xiaomi operating system, which was one of the technologies presented along with the electric car.
The company says that the new operating system will turn into a full-fledged ecosystem for all Xiaomi devices. For example, it will ensure seamless integration of gadgets into the media space of an electric car, which will allow the use of wearable tablets as screens for rear passengers. Despite the developed media capabilities, the interior of the electric car retains physical buttons and switches.
