China’s Xiaomi launched their new SU7 electric sedan last March. Xiaomi, which was initially only a smartphone manufacturer, has also emerged as an automobile company with the launch of this new car. Orders are pouring in for the SU7 electric sedan following its launch. Xiaomi SU7 received almost 90,000 orders till the end of April alone.
After the first car was a monopolistic hit, information about Xiaomi’s next electric car has been released. Xiaomi made their first sedan to compete with Tesla’s Model 3, the world leader in electric cars. Currently, the company is said to be planning to develop a new SUV model to compete with Tesla’s Model Y SUV.
It is said that Xiaomi has decided to develop the new electric car as an SUV, not only to compete with Tesla’s model, but also following the increasing sales of SUVs in China. Rumor has it that Xiaomi is planning to launch this new SUV by the end of 2025.
With the capacity to deliver only 10,000 SU7 sedans per month, the company’s total focus now seems to be on the production of the SU7. Also, the second phase of the company’s factory in Beijing, the capital of China, is currently underway. After the completion of those works, the company is expected to start production of the new SUV.
Earlier, Xiaomi had launched their new SU7 model with three different battery packs. The base variant was launched with a 73.6 kWh battery pack at a price of Rs 24.90 lakh in Indian prices, the mid-range variant with a 94.3 kWh battery pack was priced at Rs 28.36 lakh and the top-end with a 101 kWh battery pack at a price of Rs 34.59 lakh. Running on their new Hyper OS platform, Xiaomi has launched the new SU7 electric sedan in six colors with various advanced features.
