The top-tier version boasts a 101 kWh battery, providing a range of 800 km according to the CLTC. Xiaomi plans to introduce larger 132 kWh and 150 kWh batteries in the future, extending the vehicle’s range further.
Thanks to its advanced 486V and 871V architectures, the SU7 supports fast charging. It can charge up to 350 km and 510 km within 15 minutes.
