Noise Insulation: Quiet as a 7 Series BMW
Despite being a crossover, the SU7 is quieter than the SU7 Max sedan and nearly matches the sound insulation of the BMW 7 Series. Xiaomi has invested heavily in NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) tuning, giving the cabin an executive feel even at highway speeds.
Integrated Smart Ecosystem
The entire vehicle is designed to work as an extension of your Xiaomi ecosystem:
- Control smart homes from the main screen.
- Sync with all Xiaomi IoT devices.
- Manage security cameras, lighting, AC, and even washing machines via in-car commands.
Driving Experience: Better Than German Rivals?
Despite being Xiaomi’s first crossover, it outperforms the latest BMW X3, especially in suspension behavior and cabin quality. Test drivers compare it favorably to Porsche Macan and Cayenne, though it slightly lags in steering feedback when compared to BMW M models. Still, for $45,000, it offers unbeatable value.
Tech & Safety Highlights

Market Impact: A Disruptive Force
Xiaomi’s automotive entry has completely shaken up the industry. Selling this performance-laden vehicle at a slight loss, Xiaomi intends to build brand loyalty and scale quickly.
Global Export Potential
Once the car is offered internationally with service and warranty support, it could dominate EV markets globally — thanks to:
- Affordability.
- High performance.
- Luxury-grade features.
- Tech-savvy branding.
