The male colleague spent 252.000 RMB on a Xiaomi SU7 and shared his impressions after driving it for a while.
Car Purchase Budget: His budget for buying a car was around 300.000 RMB. He initially planned to buy a luxury B-class car and looked at the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4L. However, he felt that the low-power versions were too weak, while the high-power versions exceeded his budget by too much. He was also concerned about the maintenance costs. Around that time, the Xiaomi SU7 was trending online, and he waited two months for its release.
Purchase Price: He bought the Xiaomi SU7 rear-wheel drive long-range advanced driving version. The base price was 245.900 RMB, and with insurance and purchase tax, the total came to around 252.000 RMB.
Exterior: While the exterior is not the primary factor for men when buying a car, a good-looking exterior still adds significant appeal. The overall look of the Xiaomi SU7 is outstanding, with features like frameless mirrors and a retractable spoiler, making it a perfect first car for young people. The car’s high appearance value draws a lot of attention, and even after a month, colleagues and girls in the office still gather around to take photos.
Interior: Upon entering the car, you can immediately feel the well-designed interior. The color scheme is stylish and not monotonous, making it stand out compared to the all-black interiors common in many domestic models. The interior also features a lot of soft-touch materials, providing a nice tactile experience. However, in terms of details, the Xiaomi SU7 is average and doesn't exude the luxury feel of cars like the Audi A4L or BMW 3 Series.
Space: Although the Xiaomi SU7 is positioned as a mid-to-large luxury electric sedan, it leans towards a sporty character. Its 3000mm wheelbase ensures ample front-row space, with plenty of legroom and headroom. The rear space is on par with mainstream B-class cars. For reference, the colleague, who is 1.75 meters tall, tested it himself. With the front seat adjusted to a comfortable position, the rear headroom is somewhat limited, but there is about two and a half fists of legroom.
Advantages:
1. Powerful Performance: The car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 6 seconds, outperforming over 80% of cars on the market. It has smooth starts, fast acceleration, and maintains acceleration at high speeds. Thanks to the electric drive characteristics, the Xiaomi SU7 offers a linear driving experience without the jerky feel of gasoline cars.
2. High Economic Efficiency: Since the colleague has his own charging station installed in his community, charging during off-peak hours costs only 0.3 RMB per kWh, which is almost negligible.
3. Good Range Performance: He bought the 830km range version, which can realistically cover about 650km in urban areas (roughly 80% of the stated range). He only needs to charge it once a week for city driving. On highways, it delivers about 70% of the stated range, comfortably covering a one-way trip of 550km, which is sufficient for most short and medium-distance journeys.
Disadvantages:
1. The steering wheel texture feels awkward, both in appearance and touch.
2. As a driver-oriented model, the Xiaomi SU7 has a stiff suspension, which provides good support when cornering at high speeds but makes speed bumps less comfortable, with a noticeable road feel.
3. The sound system performance is average, and there are limited car apps.
In conclusion, the Xiaomi SU7 is a sporty sedan that suits young people who enjoy driving. If you have a strong preference for gasoline cars and a softer driving feel, this car might not be suitable. However, if you value appearance, fuel economy, and have certain demands for power and handling, this car is definitely a good choice. What do you think?
