The Xiaomi SU7 starts the year completely renewed

Xiaomi has just opened pre-sales in China for a renewed version of its SU7 electric saloon, which includes significant improvements but slightly raises its price compared to the 2025 model.

The new SU7 is available on the Chinese market from 229,900 yuan, which at the current exchange rate comes to about 28,200 euros. Likewise, the top-of-the-range version with the highest level of equipment costs 309,900 yuan, almost 40,000 euros. These new prices represent an increase of between 1,200 and 1,700 euros at the exchange rate, depending on the version. In any case, it should not be forgotten that in the Chinese market it is common for manufacturers to set slightly higher prices during the pre-order phase, which are usually adjusted downward once regular sales begin.

Xiaomi plans to make the first deliveries of the renewed SU7 next April, and customers who had already reserved the previous model can switch to the new one at no additional cost until January 10.

Changes we are going to find

The exterior and interior of the new SU7 keep the same design we already know, with only a few minor aesthetic touch-ups. The most important new features are under the bodywork, especially in the battery pack and its architecture. The basic version moves from a 400-volt architecture with LFP cells to a 752-volt one, and the top-of-the-range Max raises its system to 897 volts. Thanks to this, DC fast charging improves considerably and it is now possible to recover up to 670 kilometres of range in just 15 minutes, compared with 510 km for the previous model, always under the CLTC homologation cycle.

Range also increases across all versions. In the entry-level version it rises by 20 km to 720 km, the Pro reaches 902 km from the 830 km it previously offered, while the Max promises 835 km instead of 800 km. Xiaomi has not specified whether this increase is due to a larger battery pack capacity, the new electrical architecture, or both.

It is also worth noting that all models now incorporate the new evolved V6s Plus powertrain. In the rear-wheel-drive version, the power rises from 220 to 235 kW, while the Max goes from 495 to 507 kW. In addition, to improve traction the rear tyres are now wider, at 265 mm instead of 245 mm, and the dual-chamber air suspension with adaptive dampers, which was previously exclusive to the Max version, becomes standard equipment on all three versions.

Another important advance affects the driver assistance systems. Previously, only the Pro and Max versions had a LiDAR sensor and a computing power of 508 TOPS. Now, all versions have 700 TOPS, which represents a substantial improvement especially for the entry-level model.

If the SU7 was already good, now it is even better

Additionally, Xiaomi has also reinforced safety, integrating improved brakes, a more rigid bodyshell structure, nine airbags instead of seven and an independent emergency power supply for the door locks.

For the time being it is unknown whether these updates will reach its sibling SUV, the YU7. As we already told you here at HighMotor, just a few days ago the company announced its goal of delivering 550,000 vehicles in 2026, a figure notably higher than the 410,000 units planned for 2025. Without a doubt a very ambitious challenge that will surely be easier to achieve with this SU7 renewal, which makes it even more attractive.
