The Xiaomi SU7 Ultra has officially entered the market, with open sales now underway in China. As Xiaomi’s most ambitious electric vehicle to date, the SU7 Ultra pushes the boundaries of performance, technology, and design. With an aggressive aerodynamic profile, a tri-motor setup producing over 1,500 horsepower, and cutting-edge interior technology, this all-electric sedan is set to challenge established players in the high-performance EV segment. Priced at approximately $73,000 USD (RMB 529,900), the SU7 Ultra is now available through Xiaomi EV sales channels. Here’s an in-depth look at what this powerhouse offers.
Design and Aesthetics
At first glance, the SU7 Ultra impresses with its aggressive yet sophisticated styling. The extended body dimensions—5115mm in length, 1970mm in width, and 1465mm in height—give it a low, wide stance that speaks to its sporty nature. The car features an oversized front splitter, air dam, and U-shaped air curtains designed to enhance downforce. A larger air intake grille increases the cooling area by 10%, while an active rear diffuser with two-level adaptive adjustments helps balance wind resistance and downforce. Additionally, the extensive use of carbon fiber—in 21 locations—reduces weight and reinforces the dynamic look of the sedan.
Performance and Engineering
Under the hood, the SU7 Ultra is engineered for extreme performance. It sports a tri-motor configuration that includes two V8s and one V6s e-motor, a setup that has earned it a reputation as one of the fastest four-door sedans on the market. With a maximum horsepower of 1548PS, the car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 1.98 seconds. Its designed top speed of 350 km/h and a braking distance of only 30.8 meters from 100 km/h to zero demonstrate its track-ready capabilities. Notably, the vehicle is built with a track-optimized high-power battery pack using the CATL Qilin 2.0 battery, ensuring both high performance and a CLTC range of 630 km.
Interior and Technology
Inside, the SU7 Ultra creates an immersive experience that marries sportiness with luxury. The cabin is wrapped in Italian Alcantara® microfiber fabric, covering over 5m², and features racing-inspired elements such as sports seats with enhanced active side support, ventilation, massage functions, and graphene heating. The steering wheel, redesigned with a race-inspired flat top and bottom, is covered with non-slip Alcantara® for a secure grip during high-performance driving. Technology is at the forefront, too, with the integration of Xiaomi’s HyperOS Smart Cabin and the exclusive Racetrack Master app, which together offer real-time lap statistics, driving mode adjustments, and an enhanced visual and auditory experience.
Safety and Track Features
Despite its focus on speed and performance, the SU7 Ultra does not compromise on safety. The car is equipped with advanced active safety features such as Mis-Acceleration Inhibition (MAI) and Low Speed Autonomous Emergency Braking (LAEB), ensuring that the vehicle responds swiftly in critical situations. The braking system, which includes large carbon ceramic discs and Akebono® high-performance calipers, is built to withstand multiple high-intensity braking sessions without fading. Moreover, the vehicle’s battery is protected by a bulletproof coating on the underside, providing significantly enhanced resistance against physical damage.
Conclusion
Now officially available for purchase, the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra is entering the EV market as a serious contender in the high-performance sedan space. With its starting price of approximately $73,000 USD, cutting-edge technology, and track-focused capabilities, this electric powerhouse is sure to attract attention from enthusiasts and performance-driven buyers alike.
