Xiaomi Motors’ first mid-to-large sedan, Xiaomi SU7, has completed its application and will be launched in three versions: standard, Pro and Max. There are four range options of 628km, 668km, 800km and 750km.

You must be very familiar with the application pictures of Xiaomi SU7, but as usual, let’s briefly review it. Xiaomi SU7 was designed by Mr. Li Tianyuan, the designer of BMW iX, and applied popular elements at the design level. The car is simple and sporty. Specifically, the car uses rounded polygonal headlights, and the interior uses a light cavity structure similar to a rice-shaped element. Together with the large-size trapezoidal air intake below, it is highly recognizable.

Looking at the side of the car body, the car uses built-in hidden door handles to optimize the car’s wind resistance coefficient. At the same time, the car adopts a double five-spoke wheel shape to enhance its sporty atmosphere. At the rear, Xiaomi SU7 uses a through-type taillight set, which is decorated with a unique diffuser below, making it fashionable and individual. In terms of body size, the length, width and height are 4997/1963/1440mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 3000mm.

The new car is expected to be available in three versions: basic, Pro, and Max, with differences in configurations, such as lidar, etc. This is also a common practice in the industry. In terms of power, Xiaomi SU7 will provide a front and rear dual motor version and a single motor version. The former has a front and rear motor power of 220kW/275kW; the latter has a motor power of 220kW.

At the same time, according to the announcement information, Xiaomi SU7 will be equipped with two battery pack options: 73.6kWh and 101kWh. The 73.6kWh is a lithium iron phosphate battery provided by Fudi. It uses a 400V voltage platform and has a battery life of 628km and 668km respectively. The battery pack The total mass is 579kg; the 101kWh is a ternary lithium battery provided by CATL, using an 800V high-voltage platform, with a range of 800km and 750km respectively, and the total mass of the battery pack is 645.8kg.

The summary shows that the battery and body integrated structure includes a body and a power battery pack. The body includes two sill beams. The two sill beams are spaced apart along the left and right directions of the vehicle. Each sill beam is provided with a battery pack installation part. Through the above technical solution, the top of the battery pack case is integrated with a cross beam. The cross beam can strengthen the main body of the case and improve the stiffness and side impact force transmission performance of the battery pack case. The top of the main case serves as a floor panel, which is conducive to improving the performance of the battery pack case. The degree of integration of the vehicle can reduce the weight of the body structure, achieve lightweighting of the vehicle, and increase the vehicle’s cruising range.

With the upgrading and iteration of power battery technology and new energy vehicle manufacturing technology, car companies have gradually shifted from CTP (battery large module or module-less technology) to CTC in the choice of power battery installation. / CTB (battery chassis/body integration technology). As a new generation of battery system technology, CTC realizes the integrated design of batteries, chassis and lower body, etc., simplifies product design and production processes, improves vehicle stiffness and space, and increases battery capacity and driving range while reducing costs. Compared with CTP moduleless technology, CTC mainly integrates the floor panel and the battery pack upper cover into one, reducing the gap between the two and the parts required for connection, simplifying the production steps, and the battery core is both for the whole It is the source of kinetic energy for the car and is also a structural member that increases the rigidity of the chassis/body.

From the industrial and commercial information, Xiaomi Automobile Co., Ltd. and Xiaomi Automobile Technology Co., Ltd. were established in 2021, with registered capital of 10 billion yuan and 1 billion yuan respectively.

In August 2022, Lei Jun, founder, chairman and CEO of Xiaomi, revealed in his annual speech that Xiaomi Autonomous Driving was going to be full-stack self-researching and had formed a team of 500 people and planned to expand to 600 people by the end of 2022, with the goal of entering the first rank of the autonomous driving industry in 2024. The financial report shows that Xiaomi invested 829 million yuan in innovative businesses, including automobiles, in the third quarter of 2022, and Xiaomi’s car research and development team has exceeded 1,800 people.

The company’s first car will roll off the production line in the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone in 2024 and achieve mass production.

Lei Jun said at the plenary meeting of the Beijing group that Xiaomi’s car manufacturing has progressed beyond expectations under the high level of concern and support from leaders, has recently successfully completed winter testing, and is expected to achieve mass production in the first half of next year.

Xiaomi Lei Jun launched a round of Xiaomi car price voting on Weibo last year. As a result, nearly 7 adults of the 17,000 voters hoped that Xiaomi’s first car should not exceed 150,000 yuan, and nearly 1 adult hoped that it would be more than 300,000 yuan, which shows that Xiaomi users cannot afford the price of 300,000 yuan.

At the Xiaomi press conference in August, Lei Jun said that Xiaomi has invested 3.3 billion yuan in R&D in the first phase of autonomous driving, and established a top R&D team with over 500 people. At the same time, through wholly-owned mergers and acquisitions and industrial investment in upstream and downstream enterprises and other means to promote the medium and long-term industrial layout in the field of autonomous driving. This shows that Xiaomi has invested heavily in this field, and it is difficult to lower the cost of the first model.

According to “Late Auto”, the specific lidar configuration of Xiaomi’s first model is one Hesai hybrid solid-state radar AT128 as the main radar, and several Hesai all-solid-state radars are used as blind-filling radars.

Lei Jun previously said that Xiaomi’s first car will be delivered in the first half of 2024.

According to 36 Krypton, Xiaomi’s first car is planned to have two configurations, high and low. The low-profile model plans to use a 400V voltage platform, and the high-profile model plans to use an 800V voltage platform. The low-profile models will be equipped with Fudi’s lithium iron phosphate blade battery, while High-end models will be equipped with CATL Kirin batteries.

The Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone Management Committee signed a cooperation agreement with Xiaomi in November last year, officially announcing that Xiaomi Auto will be located in the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone.
