As a long-time car enthusiast who closely follows automotive trends, I've been tracking the collaboration news between Xiaomi and BAIC Group. They jointly developed the Xiaomi SU7 electric vehicle, which officially launched in March 2024 with exceptionally strong order volumes. This car integrates Xiaomi's smart ecosystem, featuring seamless connectivity with Xiaomi smartphones and smart home devices. Performance-wise, it's said to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 2.78 seconds with a range of up to 700 km. Priced starting from over 200,000 RMB, it offers great value for money. I also noticed its emphasis on safety design and modern aesthetics—the actual car photos look incredibly sleek. If given the chance, I'd love to test-drive it. It feels like this car could add a lot of fun to daily commutes and might also drive more innovation among domestic car brands.
