Xiaomi (小米) new-generation SU7 "Indigo Stone Green" production car arrives at dealership, will be on display this month

Showroom arrival and launch details

Xiaomi (小米) has confirmed that the new-generation SU7 in a new "Indigo Stone Green" finish has arrived at dealerships and will be formally shown to the public later this month. The company has published the full palette for the model — nine colors in total, from Capri Blue and Fiery Red to Pearl White and Obsidian Black — and has opened small deposits for pre-orders with a reported price band of ¥229,900–¥309,900 (about $32k–$43k). Lei Jun (雷军), Xiaomi’s founder and CEO, described the new paint as deep and subtle, shifting from near-black in low light to a luminous green sheen when light skims the surface.

Hardware and safety upgrades

Xiaomi has positioned the SU7 as a step up on both sensor and structural fronts. The new-generation SU7 reportedly comes standard with lidar, 700 TOPS driving compute, 4D millimetre-wave radar and Xiaomi HAD end-to-end driver assistance — a clear move to match rivals’ advanced ADAS stacks. Structural and safety claims are also prominent: the car is said to include a 2,200 MPa-strength steel roll cage from A- to C-pillars, four-door anti-collision beams, nine airbags (including new rear-side bags), and multiple mechanical redundancies for door opening. It has been reported that new protective coatings and high-strength crossbeams improve scratch and tear resistance by roughly tenfold and puncture resistance by about 13 times versus the baseline design.

Powertrain, range and supply-chain context

On performance, the SU7 will offer a V6s Plus electric motor with outputs ranging from 320 hp in the standard model to 690 hp in the Max. All variants adopt a silicon-carbide (SiC) high-voltage architecture — 752V for Standard and Pro, and 897V for the Max — and Xiaomi claims CLTC ranges of about 720 km for the Standard and 902 km for the Pro. These choices are notable beyond headline figures: wider adoption of SiC and high-voltage systems speaks to China’s push for automotive electrification and semiconductor self-reliance amid global export controls on advanced chips and materials.

Market implications

Why does this matter? Xiaomi is still best known globally as a smartphone giant that pivoted into EVs in a crowded Chinese market, where BYD, Nio and Xpeng already compete aggressively. The SU7’s combination of premium active safety sensors, high-voltage platforms and competitive pricing targets buyers looking for tech-rich EVs without luxury premiums. It has been reported that the vehicle will be on showroom display this month; whether the combination of hardware and new aesthetics will convert showroom interest into sales remains the question for Xiaomi as it scales auto ambitions amid an increasingly geopolitically sensitive supply chain.
