According to Xiaomi Motors, the vehicle is expected to be launched in April 2026. The new generation of Xiaomi SU7 has already started small pre-orders in early January 2026, with a pre-sale price ranging from 229,900 to 309,900 yuan.

Based on disclosed product information, the new vehicle features multiple upgrades in exterior design, interior, intelligent driving, and safety. For the exterior, the front bumper grille has been restyled, and a new Capri Blue paint option is added alongside the existing Gulf Blue. The wheels are upgraded to a new 20-inch design, with tire sizes adjusted to 245mm at the front and 265mm at the rear—the wider rear tires enhancing grip performance. In terms of braking, all trims now come standard with four-piston fixed calipers at the front, while the Max variant is equipped with Brembo calipers, drilled brake discs, and low-metallic brake pads.

Regarding the interior, the new SU7 adds a Midnight Black color option to the existing Onyx Black interior. The steering wheel design has been revised, and details such as the secondary instrument panel, door panels, and seat stitching have been simultaneously refined. The area covered by soft-touch materials has been expanded, and an enveloping three-layer ambient lighting system has been adopted. The physical buttons on the center console have been updated in style.

In terms of product configuration, the new generation SU7 has undergone a systematic upgrade. In terms of safety configuration, it is standard across the range to have a 2200MPa strength steel inlaid roll cage and four-door anti-collision beams, and it has been upgraded to 9 airbags (adding side airbags for the rear seats). The chassis is equipped with a 1500MPa protective crossbeam and a high-strength protective coating, with the official claim that its scratch and tear resistance is 10 times better than the basic design. In response to user concerns about the door handle design, the new car comes standard across the range with a triple-redundant door handle, supporting physical mechanical opening from both inside and outside the vehicle.

In terms of power and range, the new SU7 is equipped with a V6s Plus motor. The standard version outputs 320 horsepower, while the Max version delivers 690 horsepower. All models use a silicon carbide high-voltage platform, with the standard and Pro versions featuring a 752V voltage architecture, and the Max version using an 897V architecture. In terms of range, the standard version has a CLTC driving cycle range of 720 kilometers, while the Pro version reaches 902 kilometers. In terms of intelligent driving hardware, the new model comes standard with laser radar and 4D millimeter-wave radar.
