“Lei Jun drove SU7 from Beijing to Shanghai”
Lei Jun also said on Weibo, “All Xiaomi executives have participated in the road test of Xiaomi SU7, which has accumulated more than 100,000 kilometers. I have participated in more than 10 tests myself, with a mileage of more than 3,000 kilometers. The longest one was on January 5 this year. I drove from Beijing to Shanghai, a total distance of 1,276 kilometers. I drove alone. The whole journey was NOA at high speed, including charging and resting. It took more than 15 hours in total. This test was very challenging for battery life. It was a four-wheel drive vehicle, winter + high speed (on-road vehicle) Not much, the speed is above 100km/h most of the time), and it can be charged twice on the road, so the experience is quite good.”
“For Xiaomi SU7 real vehicle road testing, we invested 576 prototype vehicles and conducted large-scale testing in 300 cities across the country, from the ultra-low temperature of -40°C in Heihe to the high temperature of 60°C in Turpan, spanning a temperature difference of 100°C, to the plateau test in Kunlun Mountain with an altitude of 4768m. . The scale of the test is quite large, and many people have seen our fleet in different cities. After such rigorous testing, Xiaomi SU7 is ready to be released next Thursday.”
“The cost of test cars is very expensive in the first batch, about more than 2 million RMB per car, and later it gets closer to the cost of mass-produced cars.”
Xiaomi SU7 will be officially released on March 28. Starting from March 25, Xiaomi Auto sales stores in 29 cities across the country will start static tasting activities of SU7.
