Even though we are on April Fool’s Day in Spain, what Xiaomi did today is no joke. This date will be marked in red on every technology lover’s calendar. One of the most important days in the industry throughout history Considering that a brand that started selling smartphones has stepped into the world of electric cars.

It was 7:00 in the morning in Spain when Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun took the stage to introduce the new Xiaomi SU7, whose design we could see in detail in previous leaks and which has become the most popular vehicle in the world. As well as the first electric car in the entire history of the company A truly formidable competitor to other established brands in the industry Like Tesla’s situation.

Up to 664 HP and maximum autonomy of up to 1,200 km, simply brutal

As you can see in its official images, the new Xiaomi SU7 is exactly the same model that we met a few weeks ago at one of its many certifications, everywhere we look it is a really nice car and Available for purchase in blue, gray and greenbut it is quite likely that it will have a wider range later.

As mentioned before, this car comes with: several different versions to choose fromwill complete a range that will be created as follows:

• Xiaomi SU7: single engine and rear-wheel drive, 0 to 100 km/h in 5.28 seconds, 295 HP power and 210 km/h top speed. Weight remains at 1,980 kg
• Xiaomi SU7 Max: dual engine and all-wheel drive, 0 to 100 km/h in 2.78 seconds, 664 HP power and 265 km/h top speed. Weight remained at 2,205 kg

Of course, another important detail that needs comment is the batteries that will equip each of these versions. Xiaomi confirmed that BYD and CATL will be the ones to supply these components and Their capacity will exceed 100 kWh in each version.. Although the brand always takes the Chinese homologation cycle as a reference, of course, it talks about ranges of up to 1,200 km in its top-spec models.

Additionally, these batteries will have 400v and 800v technologies for really fast charging. The Asian company named its fast charging technology HyperCharge (just like we see in smartphones) and thus we will be able to achieve autonomy. Up to 220 km after five minutes, or even up to 510 km after charging the vehicle for 15 minutesAlways take into account that the charger must be compatible.

Finally, we cannot leave aside HyperOS, the operating system with which this vehicle is equipped and which takes it to another dimension. Xiaomi confirmed this In addition to Nvidia technology, the vehicle will be equipped with a LiDAR sensor, high-resolution cameras, proximity sensors and other ultrasonic sensors. This will make autonomous driving one of the best we have found in the industry.

This will not only be achieved thanks to all the information these sensors can collect, but also Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 processor and artificial intelligence They will handle the rest. Altogether, the car will be able to predict the optimal trajectory without our intervention, park without us having to be in it, and even overcome all kinds of obstacles with surprising ease, or at least it does. What we can see in the official videos.

This entire system can be managed from the giant screen 16.1 inches and 3k resolution What we find on the dashboard is a panel equipped with HyperOS and capable of interconnecting with other products of the brand, achieving an ecosystem that is difficult to find in other models on the market.

Price and availability of the new Xiaomi SU7

Although Xiaomi has told us a lot of details about this car, one of the few that has been left out is the price of each version. Yes we know that For now it will be a product that will only be available to purchase in China starting next year 2024but we still need to know when it will hit the market and at what price, which we hope to discover as soon as possible.
