And in terms of technology, Xiaomi SU7 should be at the level of Tesla Model S
The date of the official premiere of the first Xiaomi car is approaching — SU7 will officially debut on December 28th. In anticipation of this event, Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun conducted a series of questions and answers for fans of the brand.
There are a lot of interesting things in Lei Jun’s answers. For example, he explained what the letters SU in the name mean. It turns out that this is short for … Speed Ultra. Quite expected from a smartphone manufacturer.
The head of Xiaomi said that Xiaomi SU7 is at the pilot production stage, which is gradually improving. The new product will hit the market in a few months. Lei Jun did not name the price of the car, but said that «it will be a little expensive, but not unreasonably».
He explained that there is no reference car that the development team was guided by when creating the SU7. Lei Jun believes that the Xiaomi SU7 will drive no worse than the Porsche Taycan Turbo, and in terms of technology, the car should be at the level of the Tesla Model S. The top manager did not say why the first Xiaomi car turned out to be a sedan. More precisely, he promised to answer this question during a two-hour lecture.
