I own the Xiaomi SU7 Max. I placed the deposit in October 2024, picked up the car in January 2025, and as of now, I’ve had it for 125 days, driving a total of 6,381 km, with 1,946 km under assisted driving. My main use case is daily commuting.
I’ve been driving for 11 years, with 8 years of solid driving experience. I’d always hesitated about switching to an EV, but the day I went for a Xiaomi test drive, I locked in my order immediately—switching from gas to electric. So far, I’m very happy with the car.
On the in-car intelligent system:
It’s excellent. When calling “Xiao Ai,” it can process multiple commands simultaneously without crashing, which is a real relief. The recent 1.7.0 update even enables face-recognition login switching, making it even more convenient than manual switching.
On range:
Range varies depending on the version and rims. Mine has the Blade rims. I usually charge between 20%–80%. At 80% charge, I can easily get over 480 km of range, so there’s no range anxiety even for long trips—by the time you finish a meal, it’s charged enough.
On assisted driving:
Personally, I think Xiaomi’s assisted driving is decent. It can detect aggressive lane changes by other cars and slow down in advance, and in complex road situations (like construction zones), it prompts you to take over ahead of time. I’m a cautious driver, so I never fully rely on it. I mostly use it on highways for long-distance trips, but I always stay alert and ready to take control. Safety first—driving a bit slower and more carefully never hurts.
On accessories:
While waiting for the car, I bought a pile of accessories, but in practice, only a few are truly useful. (Details in another post.)
On the car itself:
I’m not a “Mi fan.” This is actually the first major Xiaomi product I’ve bought, and I really like it. That said, not everyone does. Some people just show up in others’ posts to nitpick or criticize. My point is: only owners have the right to speak from experience. If you don’t like it, just scroll past—don’t buy it, don’t look at it. But cyberbullying car owners is absolutely out of line. No one cares more than the owner about whether the car has issues. Safe driving is the basic condition no matter what car you drive.
On trunk mats:
Before the car arrived, I bought a hard one-piece trunk mat. Big mistake—it required a lot of effort to open the lower compartment, and the sides weren’t protected, so luggage easily dirtied the side panels, which then needed extra cleaning.
Recently, I discovered customized full-coverage soft mats. I bought one immediately, and wow—it was the right call. Easy to install, great texture, fully waterproof, and stains wipe off effortlessly. The fit is perfect, and best of all, it doesn’t interfere with opening the lower compartment. For someone like me who doesn’t have much strength, this is a lifesaver. Honestly, I don’t know why I wasted effort with the old one. Just like with the car itself: the earlier you buy the right thing, the earlier you enjoy it!
I drive the SU7 Max and have owned it for about four months, covering 5,200 km so far. The infotainment system exceeded my expectations—it’s smooth and responsive, and the voice assistant works instantly, unlike the laggy systems I had in my previous ICE cars. Range is solid too: at 80% charge, I easily get over 400 km. Downsides? The suspension feels firm, and rear passengers notice it when going over speed bumps. Early on, I had one incident of the main screen going black, but a reboot fixed it and it hasn’t happened again. Overall, I’m satisfied—especially for daily city commuting.
Over the Spring Festival, I drove my SU7 round-trip from Hangzhou to Shanghai—about 800 km total. The assisted driving was a huge help, especially at night, reducing fatigue. Still, I kept my hands on the wheel the whole time for peace of mind. Charging is convenient in Hangzhou, with fast chargers taking around 30 minutes from 20% to 80%. The only drawback for me is trunk space—it feels limited, especially when carrying a stroller. Perfect for commuting and short trips, but less ideal for long family journeys.
I live in Beijing, and winter driving with the SU7 has been fairly good. At around -5 to -6°C, energy consumption increased about 15% compared to summer, so range shrank slightly, but nothing to panic about. Cabin heating responds quickly, and both heated seats and steering wheel are lifesavers in northern winters. There’s a charging station near my apartment, making daily charging easy. My only real complaint is the suspension—it’s on the stiff side, and you feel it on rougher roads.
I switched from a Japanese ICE car to the SU7 about three months ago. The biggest difference is noise—inside the cabin it’s incredibly quiet, even at highway speeds with no engine drone. Assisted driving works reliably on highways, detecting and slowing down smoothly. The downside is that in construction zones, the alerts can be a bit too frequent and annoying. Space is sufficient for a family of three, and my kid loves the large panoramic roof. Overall, the car feels like great value with strong tech appeal.
I use my SU7 mainly for commuting, about 40 km round trip each day. My charging routine is topping up every 2–3 days with the community slow charger overnight—very convenient. The car’s connectivity with my phone is seamless; music, navigation, and even remote climate control work smoothly. The only downside is the car’s width—it’s noticeably bigger than my previous car, so parking took some getting used to. Once adjusted, it’s not really an issue. For commuters, this car is a great fit.
After getting my car, I’ve taken it on several long-distance trips, and charging has been quite manageable. I usually look for a fast charger when the battery hits around 20%, and by the time I finish a meal, it’s back up to 80%. No range anxiety at all. Driving-wise, the acceleration is far more responsive than my old SUV, making overtakes effortless. The downside is the rear seat backrest angle—it feels a bit upright and can get uncomfortable on longer rides. Overall, I’m satisfied, especially for occasional road trips.
I picked up my car in Chengdu and have had it for about four months. The voice recognition is very accurate, so I rarely need to touch the screen while driving—navigation and music switching are smooth. The ambient lighting in the cabin looks great and adds a futuristic feel at night. In city driving, the brakes feel a bit too sensitive at first, leading to some “nodding.” It takes some time to get used to, but once you do, it’s fine. For drivers who value smart features and comfort, this car is worth trying.
The infotainment system recently got a face-recognition update, which works really well—no need to manually switch accounts anymore, making things smoother. Range is also solid; for daily use, 80% charge gives me over 400 km easily. The only minor downside is the factory speakers—the sound quality is average and not very impressive for a music lover like me. I’m considering an upgrade in the future. Overall though, I’m satisfied, especially with the tech experience, which has given me quite a few pleasant surprises.
Before buying, my biggest worry was charging, but the actual experience turned out far better than expected. There’s a fast charger right downstairs from my office, so I top up during lunch breaks—super convenient. The car’s acceleration is way quicker than my previous ICE vehicle, making overtakes easy. The only drawback is the limited color options—I didn’t manage to get my preferred color at delivery. Hopefully Xiaomi offers more customization in the future. Overall, I’m very satisfied with the driving experience.
The SU7 is my first EV, and I’ve driven about 7,000 km so far. What impresses me most is energy efficiency—it consumes less compared to some of my colleagues’ EVs, saving on electricity costs. Assisted driving works reliably on highways, but I only use it for long trips since city traffic is too complex. Once, the system froze during a software update, but a reboot fixed it. The cabin space is perfect for a small family, with enough room for a child seat without feeling cramped. Overall, I’d say it’s worth the purchase.
