How does it compare?
The Xiaomi SU7 Max is entering the electrified fray alongside other sedans like the Tesla Model S, Lucid Air, Porsche Taycan, and Audi e-tron GT. With its impressive specs, it aims to unsettle the heavyweights with its remarkable blend of range, speed, and tech-forward appeal.
Range
The Xiaomi SU7 Max boasts an impressive 800 km (497 miles) range, which is slightly superior to the Tesla Model S at 652 km (405 miles) and quite ahead of the Porsche Taycan which offers 484 km (300 miles). The Lucid Air gives a splendid fight with its 837 km (520 miles), but the Audi e-tron GT, with 488 km (303 miles), falls short by comparison. Xiaomi appears to have nailed the range game with a greenery lead of nearly 800 km, promising endless road musicals.
Acceleration
The Xiaomi SU7 Max propels from 0 to 100 km/h in an exhilarating 2.78 seconds, rivaling the Tesla Model S’ prowess at 2.3 seconds. The Lucid Air follows closely behind with its 2.5 seconds sprint, while the Porsche Taycan sits a bit further back with a 3.2-second leap. Over at the Audi e-tron GT side, we get a time of 3.9 seconds. Despite being marginally slower than the Tesla, Xiaomis precision-engineered speed distortion is nothing short of transcendental.
Power
The Xiaomi SU7 Max churns out an admirable 664 horsepower (hp), putting it in the same stable as the Tesla Model S with its 670 hp. The Lucid Air flexes its muscles at a staggering 1,111 hp which is in a galaxy of its own. The Porsche Taycan and Audi e-tron GT both deliver robust performances of 750 hp and 637 hp respectively. Xiaomi might not lead the power parade, but when paired with its other attributes, it’s undeniably a contender.
Charging Time
The SU7 Max’s 101 kWh battery ensures a solid charge time, though specifics remain sparse, estimated to be competitive with the Tesla Model S’ 15 minutes to 80% on a supercharger. The Lucid Air’s 19 minutes impresses too. The Porsche Taycan and Audi e-tron GT follow with quick charges under 22 minutes. With rapid charging infrastructure improving daily, Xiaomi’s future-proofed performance is on track.
Price
The Xiaomi SU7 Max enters the fray with a tantalizing price of $50,900 (£37,500 | €43,200) making it more affordable than the Tesla Model S ($94,990 | £68,000 | €80,500), Lucid Air ($77,400 | £56,000 | €65,800), Porsche Taycan ($82,700 | £67,000 | €71,200), and Audi e-tron GT ($99,900 | £78,900 | €83,600). This competitive pricing strategy positions Xiaomi as an attractive alternative for buyers seeking high-range without cutting into their children’s college fund.
