Xiaomi SU7 insurance price is 360,000 yuan? Official response
On January 30th, some netizens posted that the premium price of the high-end version of SU7, the first model of Xiaomi Automobile, was 361,400 yuan. The new car adopts ternary lithium battery from Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, with a maximum speed of 265 km/h. Market news speculated that the final selling price of Xiaomi automobile may be in the range of 250,000 to 370,000.
In response to the above news, Xiaomi Automobile responded: "Unofficial news is not true." In addition, Wang Hua, general manager of Xiaomi Group’s public relations department, forwarded a message to Weibo, a netizen, and said that in recent days, internal vehicles began to be licensed, which was to test all the processes of running through sales and delivery, and buying insurance was also one of the links. In other words, it has no reference value.
Xiaomi SU7 is the first production car of Xiaomi Automobile, which was released on December 28th, 2023, Xiaomi Automobile Technology Day. On Xiaomi Auto Technology Day, Lei Jun spent about three hours explaining technologies such as large die casting, intelligent driving and intelligent cockpit, and the design of Xiaomi’s first production model, but he didn’t talk about the price and kept it highly confidential, which also became the biggest suspense of Xiaomi.
In fact, since the release of Xiaomi Automobile, the price of Xiaomi Automobile has always been the focus of the industry. How much is the pricing for "Xiaomi Auto SU7"? When will it be announced? " Earlier, Xiaomi Auto officially replied, "We really haven’t finalized the price. Mr. Lei, the founder of Xiaomi, also introduced it at the Xiaomi Automobile Technology Conference. It is indeed a bit expensive, but it will be’ expensive for a reason’. Not 99,000, not 149,000, not 199,000. The final pricing will be announced at the official launch conference of Xiaomi SU7. " Since then, Mr. Lei has also revealed that Xiaomi Su750,000 has no rivals. It is understood that Xiaomi SU7 is positioned as a "C-class high-performance eco-technology car", which provides dual-motor version and single-motor version. The single-motor version is equipped with a motor with a maximum power of 220 kW; The dual-motor version is equipped with a front and rear dual-motor system, in which the maximum power of the front motor is 220kW and the maximum power of the rear motor is 275kW.
Not long ago, Lei Jun, the founder of Xiaomi, also said in an interview with the media that the pricing of Xiaomi’s first model may be a bit expensive, equivalent to the performance of two or three million luxury cars, and reiterated that the pricing of Xiaomi’s first model will not be 99,000 yuan, 149,000 yuan, 199,000 yuan.
Judging from the product configuration announced by Xiaomi Technology Day, the positioning of Xiaomi SU7 is not low, which means that its price cannot be too low. It should be noted that in recent years, the automobile market has undergone earth-shaking changes, especially since 2023, the automobile price war has intensified, and the price has also become a key link in the competition between automobile enterprises.
For Lei Jun, who "staked all his assets and reputation and started his last business in his life", he has high hopes for Xiaomi Automobile. Lei Jun said that Xiaomi automobile has the performance index that is not inferior to Tesla Model S, and the three indexes of 0-100km/h acceleration, 100km/h-0 braking distance and top speed are not backward, and bluntly said that Xiaomi SU7 has no accurate benchmarking vehicle, and it hopes to be comparable to Porsche Taycan Turbo in mechanical quality such as drivability, and to be comparable to Tesla Model S in intelligence.
As for the follow-up goal of Xiaomi Automobile, Lei Jun’s ambition is to become one of the top five automakers in the world. Lei Jun said: "The goal of Xiaomi Automobile is to rival Porsche and Tesla, to build dream cars in the new era of automobile industry, and to make a beautiful, easy-to-drive, comfortable and safe mobile intelligent space." The goal of autonomous driving is to enter the first camp of the industry in 2024. In addition, Lei Jun also stressed that today is 1003 days since Xiaomi announced its entry into the electric vehicle industry. Starting from the underlying core technology, Xiaomi has invested ten times to make a good car, and its long-term goal is to strive to become one of the top five automobile manufacturers in the world in the next 15-20 years. It is worth mentioning that the homogenization of 200,000-300,000 models in today’s auto market is very serious, and the competition is particularly fierce, which also means that Xiaomi Auto will face a lot of pressure after listing.
Lei Jun said in an interview before: "I am particularly worried that everyone will not buy if it doesn’t catch fire. What’s more worrying is that if everyone buys, they will have to wait for a year or two, and they will definitely be scolded." Whether Xiaomi SU7 can be accepted by the market or whether consumers are willing to pay for it is still unknown because the price is to be determined. But from this point of view, the final decision on how Xiaomi SU7 will perform in the auto market may still depend on Lei Jun’s highly confidential price. According to the plan, the final pricing of Xiaomi SU7 will be announced at the official launch conference of the car.
