Xiaomi, a company that started its journey as a developer of custom ROM for Android phones called MIUI in 2010, has now ventured into the world of premium car making. It’s incredible to see how they have evolved over the past 14 years, showcasing their first car at the Mobile World Congress. This transformation highlights the amazing opportunities presented by today’s tech world.
At the event, Xiaomi is displaying its top-of-the-line Xiaomi SU7 Max, a car with impressive specifications. The SU7 Max can reach a top speed of 165 mph (265 km/h) and accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-100 km/h) in just 2.78 seconds. These stats make it sound incredibly fast and exciting.
The Xiaomi SU7 runs on Xiaomi’s own Android-based HyperOS, showcasing the company’s innovative approach to technology integration. Weibing Lu, the president of Xiaomi, believes that they can compete in the competitive electric vehicle market due to their established reputation in the smartphone industry.
Unlike other Xiaomi products known for being budget-friendly, the SU7 car comes with a higher price tag starting around $40,000. This places it in a similar price range as a Tesla Model 3, showing that Xiaomi is targeting premium market segments with their new offering.
Visually, the Xiaomi SU7 resembles entry-level vehicles like Tesla Model 3 but has its unique character and design elements. The top-tier Max model displayed at MWC stands out with its impressive features and aesthetics, making a strong impression on attendees.
