A sloping roofline, linked LED taillights, a camera mounted on the B pillar, and a selection of 19- or 20-inch wheels are other visual components.

Xiaomi’s SU7 is built on the Modena platform. It works with both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive systems, and with 400V and 800V electric architectures. Three battery packs are available: a 101kWh CATL Qilin on performance-oriented variants, a 94.3kWh CATL Shenxing on mid-spec variants, and a 73.6kWh BYD’s LFP Blade battery on base variants.
A 295 horsepower electric motor is connected to a 73.6 kWh BYD LFP Blade battery in the basic XU7. It can reach a maximum speed of 210 km/h and a CLTC range of 700 km. A 94.3kWh CATL Shenxing battery with an 830km CLTC range and a 101kWh CATL Qilin battery with an 800km CLTC range are used by the Pro and the Max, respectively.
A dual motor all-wheel-drive system on the performance version of the SU7 allows it to attain a top speed of 265 km/h. It is claimed that 0-100 km/h can be reached in 2.78 seconds.
In addition, there is a physical air conditioning button, a start-stop button, a wireless charging place, and a panoramic sunroof. Additional components include of a 4.7-liter refrigerator and many phone and laptop compartments.
The vehicle has two advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) options: Pilot Pro and Pilot Max, for added safety. While the latter also receives Lidar, the former, like Tesla, is based solely on vision.
