The Xiaomi SU7 Ultra is now available for purchase, as announced by the company during the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025 held in Barcelona on March 2. First revealed in July as Xiaomi’s newest prototype electric vehicle (EV), this model emphasizes high performance and serves as a more advanced iteration of the SU7 EV, which has been available in the market since the previous year. The SU7 Ultra boasts three electric motors and reportedly accelerates from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour (kmph) in a mere 1.98 seconds. In China, the starting price for the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra is CNY 5,29,900, which is approximately Rs. 64 lakh. Multiple optional packages have been introduced, including the "Racing Package" and the "Nürburgring Nordschleife Limited Edition," with availability contingent upon the completion of the Nürburgring Nordschleife lap challenge by the production model.
This electric vehicle comes in five color options: Lightning Yellow, Space Silver, Verdant Green, Pearl White, and Obsidian Black. Pre-ordering for the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra started in October of the previous year, and the official sales have now launched in China. The production model retains the same electric motor setup, chassis design, battery specifications, and other components as the prototype presented last year. It is driven by Xiaomi's proprietary triple HyperEngine motors, featuring two V8s and one V6s motor, positioned at the rear and front wheels, respectively. Together, these motors generate a total output of 1,548 hp with a peak torque of 635 Nm. The HyperEngine V8 motors can reach a maximum rotational speed of 27,200 rpm.
According to Xiaomi, the SU7 Ultra arrives track-ready directly from the factory. It incorporates dual-chamber air springs along with high-performance adaptive dampers, enabling drivers to select from an extensive range of adjustments for spring stiffness and damping. Additionally, the chassis system is finely tuned for performance at the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Featuring a tri-motor setup, the vehicle utilizes a torque-vectoring control system that adjusts torque independently at a rate of 500 times per second.
The vehicle claims to reach 0-100 kmph in 1.98 seconds and accelerate from a complete stop to 200 kmph in 5.86 seconds, with a top speed of 350 kmph. To maintain safety at these exhilarating speeds, Xiaomi outfitted the performance EV with carbon ceramic brake discs, Akebono high-performance fixed calipers, and specialized brake pads. The company states it can achieve a braking distance of 30.8 meters when going from 100 to 0 kmph. It also offers various driving modes suitable for both everyday use and track days. For daily commuting, there are beginner mode, economy mode, wet mode, sport mode, and custom mode, while track enthusiasts can utilize endurance mode, qualifying mode, and drift mode to enhance performance.
Enhancing its features is the Racetrack Master application. According to Xiaomi, this app provides track users with real-time lap timing, vehicle status updates, adjustments for driving modes, and other essential vehicle details. After completing a race, drivers can analyze their past lap performance through comprehensive statistics and visual data, which includes metrics like peak G force, steering wheel angle, and braking force. Additionally, users can share their recorded videos directly through the app.

The Xiaomi SU7 Ultra is powered by a Qilin 2.0 battery pack, developed in collaboration with CATL. This battery is seamlessly integrated into the electric vehicle's structure using cell-to-body (CTB) technology, optimizing volume efficiency. With a capacity of 150 kWh, it can deliver peak discharge power of 1,330 kW, and even when only 20 percent of the charge is left, it can still provide up to 800 kW. It features a charging multiplier of 5.2C, allowing it to achieve a full charge in under 12 minutes. The vehicle's maximum CLTC range is stated to be 630 km.
To enhance heat dissipation, the battery pack incorporates dual large-surface active cooling systems. Additionally, the bottom of the pack is protected by a bulletproof coating, which is substantially more resistant to tearing, scratching, and puncturing than conventional PVC coatings. For safety enhancements, the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra includes Mis-Acceleration Inhibition (MAI) and Low Speed Autonomous Emergency Braking (LAEB) mechanisms, both designed to mitigate acceleration in the event of a potential collision.
While the new electric vehicle retains an exterior similar to that of the Xiaomi SU7 Max, it features an aerodynamic kit and more substantial dimensions. It measures 5,115 mm in length, 1,970 mm in width, and 1,465 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,000 mm. Notable design elements include an oversized splitter, an air dam, and "U-shaped" air curtains that collectively enhance the front end's downforce.
Inside, the vehicle offers a refined cabin experience with upgraded sports seats that provide active side support, enhanced responsiveness, and a larger support area. The steering wheel has been redesigned with a race-inspired flat top and bottom, wrapped in Alcantara microfiber. Buyers can select from striking interior color options such as bright yellow combined with black, a sleek black and yellow palette, or a refined black and red combination. The front seats are equipped with ventilation, massage capabilities, and graphene heating for both rows. Xiaomi states that the SU7 Ultra features an electric hood that can be activated using voice commands via XiaoAi AI, in addition to manual buttons.
Additional amenities include dual 50W wireless phone charging stations, auto-dimming rearview mirrors, blind-spot detection indicators, and front vanity mirrors with adjustable color temperature and brightness settings. Xiaomi claims that it has embedded its "Human x Car x Home" ecosystem throughout all variants, powered by the Snapdragon 8295 chip platform. This setup is designed to be compatible with HyperOS for efficient hardware resource management.
