How many kilometers of range does Xiaomi’s car have? For this ‘Extreme Anxiety’ series of tests for the popular 200,000 RMB class electric sedan, I got the Xiaomi SU7 2024 model 830km rear-drive ultra-long range high-class Smart Driver Pro version. The model, with a guide price of 245,900 yuan, is equipped with a rear-mounted single motor with a maximum power of 220kW, a maximum torque of 400N-m, and a battery capacity of 94.3kWh.
First of all, it’s better to introduce the test conditions: setting off on a 95% charge, with an outdoor apparent temperature of 6 degrees Celsius, and with two adults on board. The driving mode was set to standard, with the air conditioning turned up to 24°C and 2 winds. Except for the tunnel section, the speed was basically maintained at about 110km/h-120km/h, with an average speed of about 105km/h.
Directly to the test results: the entire power drop of 372km, the actual driving 223km, high-speed range discount rate of 59.99%, that is, 60% off. The apparent power consumption is 18.3kWh/100km, and according to this discount rate, the full-charged state can run 497km on the highway against the speed limit, which is basically 500km.
After the run, we found a 120kW public fast charging pile for the replenishment test, no matter whether it is a single charging or double charging state, the charging power of this Xiaomi SU7 Pro version is 60kW, and the trickle power is about 31kW. The measured charge took about 50 minutes to charge from 50% to 90%.
Overall, except for the slightly slower charging rate, the range attainment rate is still able to satisfy.
The day and millet SU7 and millet SU7 same test several cars (Peng P7 +, extreme kryptonite 007, Tesla Model 3), I also tried to drive a little bit, millet SU7 driving experience is in my subjective feelings in the front of the queue.
First of all, Xiaomi SU7 chassis and dynamic feeling, not at all like a crossover enterprise that has never built a car before to build the first car, but more like from the hands of a veteran European car company with a wealth of experience in car manufacturing.
Solid and stable is the biggest feeling I got from driving this car – no matter if it’s an intense drive or a bumpy road, it can convey some German texture.
And the chassis finish is high, although the test of this mid-range model did not use the air suspension and CDC, but this set of front double-wishbone, rear five-link independent suspension on the road is very good. For the fine vibration filtered very well, the feedback on the road surface is also relatively direct, the overall is rigid with a soft sense of sport.
Although there is no top-spec “super-hung” sense of thrust, but the 220kW rear-mounted motor of the mid-range version is sufficient for daily use. When the Boost mode is turned on, the vehicle will have 20 seconds of excess torque output, and the sense of pushback is very strong.
However, I personally am a bit uncomfortable with the braking feel of the brakes. The first half of the journey is a little soft, but the second half of the journey will have a more obvious improvement with the addition of power recovery.
In Comfort mode, the Xiaomi SU7’s steering wheel is on the lighter side, and Sport mode would be more in line with my driving preferences – on the heavier, tighter side.
Every time I do a review of several cars, I’m inevitably asked the question, “Which is your favorite car?”, and this time I didn’t hesitate to “stand” for the Xiaomi SU7. –Compared to other pure electric cars, the thickness of the battery pack module does not seem to affect the Xiaomi SU7’s sitting position, driving is very much the feeling of “flying on the ground”.
However, if you ask me which part of the car I really like, I can’t answer. Even though I drove the mid-range Pro version, which doesn’t seem to have any outstanding parts, it’s not easy to find its obvious shortcomings.
