Since the exposure of Xiaomi's car manufacturing plan, it has attracted a lot of attention from media and consumers. Although the hype gradually subsided after the official launch of Xiaomi's car, people have been seeing more and more of the Xiaomi SU7 in their daily lives. So, have you ever wondered why Xiaomi's first car is called the SU7?
There are two theories about the origin of "SU." One theory is that it is a shorthand for "super," meaning "superior." However, this was quickly refuted by Lei Jun. Lei Jun stated that SU actually stands for "Speed Ultra," emphasizing the powerful performance of Xiaomi's car.
As for the number "7." Lei Jun explained, "I also don't understand why many cars in the domestic market are called the 7 series. So, I decided to follow suit and call it the 7."
Yes, it's that casual. But it also indicates the car brands Xiaomi aims to compete with, such as BMW's 7 Series, Audi's A7 and Q7. and Mazda's CX-7. There are also numerous models in the new energy vehicle industry, like Denza N7. Zhijie S7. Xiangjie S7. Lynk & Co 07. XPeng P7. and Zeekr 007.
As for whether the SU7 is expensive or not, it's a matter of perspective. Fans certainly believe that the price is reasonable, while non-Xiaomi consumers mostly take a wait-and-see approach.
