THE XIAOMI SU7 IS A BARGAIN CHINESE LUXURY SPORT SEDAN

EV Channels Review

Doug DeMuro reviews the Xiaomi SU7, a Chinese electric luxury sedan that, despite not being sold in the US, offers a compelling package. DeMuro highlights its impressive acceleration, with the 'Max' trim boasting 665 horsepower and a 0-60 mph time of 2.8 seconds. He praises the exterior styling as more exciting than a Tesla Model 3 and notes the high-quality interior materials, which he believes punch well above the car's estimated $40-45k price point in China. Quirks like a hidden gauge cluster screen, GoPro mounts, and a rear-seat refrigerator are pointed out. The driving experience is described as surprisingly good, with compliant ride quality and dynamic handling, though the steering can feel twitchy at higher speeds. DeMuro concludes that the SU7 is an excellent and surprisingly competitive EV, especially considering its value, but acknowledges that US market acceptance of Chinese brands remains a significant hurdle.
