Xiaomi Sets Competitive Pricing for SU7 EV as China Showrooms Showcase New Vehicle

Published March 25, 2024

Xiaomi Corporation, a globally recognized electronics and smart manufacturing company, is making headway into the electric vehicle market with the upcoming release of the SU7 EV, setting a competitive entry price that undercuts many expectations. Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun has been quoted saying the SU7 will be the 'best looking, easiest to drive and smartest car', with a price point set to be below 500,000 yuan (US$69,424). With the promise of a combination of aesthetics, ease of handling, and intelligent design at an attractive price, Xiaomi is venturing into an arena dominated by major players like TSLA Tesla, Inc.

Pre-Order Launch

The anticipation for the Xiaomi SU7 is building as the company declared that it would begin taking pre-orders starting Thursday. This announcement came as Xiaomi showrooms across China started unveiling the vehicle to the public, allowing potential buyers to get a first-hand look at what the company has to offer in the electric vehicle space. This strategic move is not only stirring public interest but also emphasizes Xiaomi's commitment to establishing a foothold in the EV industry.

Xiaomi's Competitive Edge

Comparatively, Xiaomi's pricing strategy may pose a competitive challenge to other EV manufacturers. For instance, TSLA Tesla, Inc., while known for its significant market share, models such as the Tesla Model S and Model X have set bracket benchmarks in high performance EVs, which Xiaomi aims to undercut. WB Weibo Corporation could potentially play a role in spreading word-of-mouth and creating buzz online as a popular social media platform in China. Moreover, Xiaomi's smart technology integrations could leverage search technology and AI optimizations, competing with giants such as BIDU Baidu, Inc., that similarly delve into intelligent systems and online services.
