Lei Jun revealed on social media what he would share with everyone at the press conference on December 28: The first is a series of technological breakthroughs achieved by our engineering team. Next, I want to talk about the thinking behind this. The automobile has been developed for more than 130 years and has always been the “King of Industry” and the most typical representative of the “zeitgeist” of every era. In the first hundred years of the automobile, as a travel vehicle, Porsche was one of the examples. Since the new century, Tesla has pioneered smart electric vehicles, turning cars into “mobile computing terminals.” Now, the new mission of the automobile industry is It is to create a “mobile smart space”. This is the starting point for Xiaomi to build cars.

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 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.
