Xiaomi SU7

The Pro RWD uses a 94.3 kWh CATL LFP battery on a 400V architecture; the Max AWD uses a 101 kWh CATL Qilin NMC battery on 800V. Both are among the most advanced battery systems available at this price point globally. SU7 Standard RWD: 668 km CLTC SU7 Pro RWD: 830 km CLTC SU7 Max AWD: 800 km CLTC 800V architecture on Max variant Peak DC charging: 300 kW (Max) / 120 kW (Pro)

CLTC figures run 25–35% above real-world results — treat them as laboratory estimates, not UAE guarantees. In conditions above 40°C with full AC load, expect 490–550 km for the Pro RWD and 460–520 km for the Max AWD. Both variants complete a Dubai–Abu Dhabi return without charging in all seasons, aided by the aerodynamic advantage over rivals like the Tesla Model 3 (0.223 Cd).

The SU7 supports 11 kW AC onboard charging — faster than most rivals in this segment. On a 7 kW wall box the Pro takes approximately 14 hours from empty; on an 11 kW box, around 9 hours. At DEWA's residential rate of AED 0.23/kWh, a full Pro charge costs approximately AED 21.70; in Abu Dhabi at AED 0.27/kWh, approximately AED 25.50.

Export-specification SU7 units with CCS2 are fully compatible with DEWA Green Charger, E2GO, UAEV, and GreenParking networks. Many grey import units arrive with the Chinese GB/T port, which caps DC speed at ~90 kW via adapter and eliminates the Max's 300 kW advantage entirely — verify the port specification in writing before purchase. On a 150 kW UAE charger, expect 10–80% in approximately 25–30 minutes on the Max and 40 minutes on the Pro. 2025 Xiaomi SU7 — Battery & Charging

The 3,000 mm wheelbase delivers generous rear legroom despite the low coupe roofline — adequate for passengers up to 185 cm. Interior materials combine eco-leather, soft-touch surfaces, and aluminium trim presenting well for the price. Rear AC vents, wireless charging, and a flat floor are standard; there is no glovebox.

The 12-way power-adjustable driver's seat with memory is standard across all variants. Forward visibility is good; the raked rear screen creates a mild blind spot that the 360-degree camera compensates for effectively. Most controls are touchscreen-managed — physical HVAC shortcut buttons are absent, requiring brief familiarisation.

Remote pre-conditioning via the Xiaomi app brings the cabin to a comfortable temperature within approximately five minutes from 50°C ambient. Ventilated front seats are standard on the Max only — the Pro's heated-only fronts are a notable gap for UAE summer use. Panoramic glass roof requires professional UV ceramic tinting; factor this cost in at purchase.

The SU7 offers 517 litres in the boot plus a 105-litre frunk — 622 litres combined, the highest figure in its segment. Rear seats fold 60:40 for longer loads. The frunk handles a cabin trolley or charging cables, leaving the boot fully free for passenger luggage.

16.1-inch 3K rotating touchscreen (Snapdragon 8295), 7.1-inch digital cluster and HUD standard on Pro and Max Wireless Apple CarPlay and Xiaomi HyperOS — integrates with Xiaomi smartphones and smart home devices OTA updates require stable UAE internet or SIM routed through Chinese servers Arabic language support: confirm localisation status with importer before purchase

Advanced Driver Assistance includes: AEB with pedestrian and cyclist detection, adaptive cruise with stop-and-go, lane centring Blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, 360-degree surround camera 1 LiDAR, 3 mmWave radars, 11 cameras, 12 ultrasonic sensors — class-leading hardware at this price CATL LFP (Pro) and Qilin NMC (Max) batteries offer strong thermal stability in UAE heat; Euro NCAP pending

The SU7 prioritises motorway stability and refinement over outright sportiness. At 120–140 km/h on the E11, the car is planted and quiet — the 0.195 Cd coefficient directly suppresses wind intrusion at speed. Tyre noise is well managed on UAE highway surfaces.

The Max AWD covers 0–100 km/h in 2.78 seconds, rivalling European sports sedans at twice the price. The Pro RWD's 5.28-second sprint handles confident motorway merging and overtaking on Sheikh Zayed Road without effort. Both variants deliver smooth, silent power delivery that reduces fatigue on long UAE highway runs.

Regenerative braking is adjustable across multiple levels and supports one-pedal driving to a complete stop. Transition from regen to friction braking is progressive and natural. Energy recovery in Dubai stop-start traffic contributes meaningfully to real-world urban range.

Adaptive cruise and lane centring perform reliably on well-marked UAE motorways. On older Northern Emirates roads with faded markings, more frequent driver input is required. The LiDAR-based sensing hardware is class-leading at this price; Level 3 autonomy is not offered.

Steering is progressive and accurate, adjusting ratio automatically between parking and motorway modes. The 360-degree camera handles tight mall basement structures confidently. The Max's sport-tuned air suspension adds composure through E11 sweepers without degrading ride comfort.

Suspension tuning prioritises comfort — well-suited to UAE road conditions. The SU7 absorbs expansion joints and speed humps without harshness at motorway speeds. The Max's adaptive air suspension is particularly appreciated by rear passengers on the Dubai–Abu Dhabi run.

No official Xiaomi Auto dealership operates in the UAE as of 2025 — all units are grey imports. The Chinese-market battery warranty (8 years / 160,000 km) does not transfer without an authorised dealer. Xiaomi's formal UAE launch is targeted for 2026; until then, require a contractual one-year local warranty and confirm access to an independent HV-certified workshop before purchase.

Grey import units frequently carry GB/T ports incompatible with UAE public charging, and Arabic navigation is not guaranteed. Insurance runs 20–30% above segment average; some insurers decline coverage entirely. Government incentives — free Salik tag, green parking, reduced RTA fees — apply to official agency vehicles only.

At AED 189,000, the SU7 Standard undercuts the Tesla Model 3 Long Range (~AED 215,000) and BMW i4 eDrive40 (~AED 269,000) while matching or exceeding their range and technology. For 25,000 km per year on a home wall box, annual electricity runs AED 1,500–1,900 (DEWA rates) versus AED 11,000–15,000 for a petrol equivalent — annual savings of AED 9,000–13,000. Grey import insurance costs AED 12,000–18,000 annually; annual EV servicing through an independent HV workshop runs AED 2,500–4,000. Three-year residual value for grey imports is estimated at 45–55% of purchase price, versus 55–65% for agency-distributed vehicles. Both CATL LFP (Pro) and Qilin NMC (Max) chemistries manage UAE heat well with low long-term degradation risk. 2025 Xiaomi SU7 — Standard Equipment
