Range:
Both the Xiaomi SU7 and Zhijie S7 participated in DCT’s summer test, but since they were not tested in the same environment, the results are not strictly comparable. However, both had high range achievement rates. Let’s call this one a draw for now.

The Xiaomi SU7 AWD, priced at 299.900 yuan, accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.78 seconds. The Zhijie S7 RWD, priced at 299.800 yuan, accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds. Xiaomi wins.

Conclusion:
The biggest advantage of the Zhijie S7 is its intelligent driving system, though some features require additional payment. In other aspects, whether in optional configuration prices or performance, Xiaomi has a slight edge. Choose the Zhijie S7 if you prioritize intelligent driving; choose the Xiaomi SU7 if you seek higher performance and better configurations.
Editor’s Opinion:
Intelligent driving is the shortcoming of the Xiaomi SU7. but future OTA upgrades might be promising. Given the current situation, intelligent driving technology is not yet fully mature. Having this feature might make people less vigilant, so it might be better to assume it doesn’t have it.
