Dazzling Design & Refined Interior
The most eye-catching exterior feature is the brand-new “Capri Blue” color. It’s a gorgeous shade between sky blue and turquoise, with a clear teal tone – think sun-drenched shallow waters of the Mediterranean. Its moderate saturation and bright-but-not-glaring quality perfectly embody a “lazy vacation” vibe. Paired with the new 20-inch “Blade” wheels, the car’s visual impact gets a significant boost. Inside, the interior has been completely revamped, introducing a sophisticated “Midnight Black” theme. Every detail, from the steering wheel and central console to seat comfort and ambient lighting, has been meticulously polished for an elevated feel. This level of Innovation is typical of Xiaomi.
Uncompromising Safety and Intelligent Driving
Safety and intelligence are the undisputed biggest selling points of the new SU7:
* Intelligent Hardware: All models come standard with LiDAR and 4D millimeter-wave radar.
* Compute Power: A staggering 700TOPS for assisted driving.
* ADAS System: Equipped with Xiaomi HAD end-to-end high-level intelligent driving, delivering “full-spec” intelligence.
* Robust Safety: Features a 2200MPa ultra-strength steel embedded roll cage, a total of 9 airbags (including new rear side airbags), and for the battery pack, a 1500MPa scratch-resistant crossbeam plus a bulletproof coating on the bottom.
Range That Goes the Distance
Range anxiety? What’s that? The new SU7 brings a “major breakthrough” in this department:
* Pro Edition: Achieves a remarkable 902km CLTC range.
* Max Edition: When paired with Xiaomi’s proprietary supercharging stations, it can replenish 670km of range in just 15 minutes! To learn more about keeping your SU7 powered up, check out How to Charge Xiaomi SU7: Your Ultimate 2026 Guide.
