Xiaomi begins pre-sales for updated SU7

Xiaomi EV, the electric vehicle division of Xiaomi, has commenced pre-sales for its updated SU7 electric sedan, introducing upgrades across performance, safety, and technology domains. Priced higher, offers up to 902 km CLTC range, making it one of the longest-range EVs in China. The new model will officially launch in April 2026. 

Xiaomi EV, the electric vehicle division of Xiaomi, has commenced pre-sales for its updated SU7 electric sedan and officially opened for pre-sale today. The refreshed SU7 lineup brings improvements in multiple areas. The exterior and interior details have been refined, advanced driving assistance hardware optimized, and safety features enhanced – notably with the addition of a dedicated backup power system for door locks across all models. The vehicles also feature new motors, faster charging capabilities, improved range, and upgraded suspension systems. 

The refreshed SU7 features subtle exterior upgrades, including an optimized front grille design. A new Capri Blue paint option has been added alongside the existing Bay Blue. While maintaining the 20-inch wheel size, the tire width has been upgraded from 245mm front and rear to 245mm front and 265mm rear across all models, improving rear grip. All models now come standard with four-piston fixed front calipers. 

The interior now offers a new Dark Black option in addition to the existing Obsidian Black. The steering wheel design has been upgraded, with refined details to the secondary instrument panel, door panels, and seat stitching. 

Previously, the entry-level rear-wheel-drive long-range model lacked LiDAR and featured lower computing power. All models now come equipped with LiDAR and the “small blue light” driver assistance indicator. Computing power has been standardized at 700 TOPS across the range, up from the previous maximum of 508 TOPS. All models now feature the Xiaomi HAD driving assistance system. 

Safety airbag count has increased from 7 to 9 across all models. The previous armor cage-style steel-aluminum mixed body structure with maximum strength of 2000MPa now features 2200MPa hot-formed steel door anti-collision beams as standard. All models include an “embedded anti-roll cage” and new dedicated backup power for door locks. 

All new models are equipped with the V6s Plus motor, replacing the V6 and V6s motors in current models. Power output for Standard and Pro models has increased from 299hp to 320hp, while the Max model’s combined output rises from 673hp to 690hp. The voltage platform has been upgraded from 400V to 752V for Standard and Pro models, while the Max model advances from 871V to 897V – approaching a 900V architecture. This allows the Max model to charge from 510km to 670km in 15 minutes. 

Range figures have also improved across the lineup: the Standard model increases from 700km to 720km CLTC, the Pro model from 830km to 902km CLTC, making it one of the longest-range EVs in the Chinese market, and the Max model from 800km to 835km CLTC. Previously, only the Max model featured air suspension with CDC dampers. In the new lineup, both Pro and Max models will come standard with dual-chamber air suspension and CDC dampers. 

The updated lineup features three models, Standard, Pro and Max versions, with pre-sales starting prices of 229,900 yuan ($32,800), 259,900 yuan ($37,100), and 309,900 yuan ($44,300) respectively, representing a price increase of 10,000-14,000 yuan ($1,400 – 2,000) compared to current models. This narrows the price gap between the Xiaomi SU7 and Tesla Model 3 from 19,600 yuan to 5,600 yuan. 

However, official launch prices may potentially decrease. Current reservation holders who haven’t yet received delivery can upgrade to the new model until January 10, 24:00, while retaining their original purchase tax subsidies and production priority. The new-generation SU7 is expected to be launched in April.
