Speed Ultra 7 Price: Can Xiaomi Kill Tesla in EV Competition?

Xiaomi puts itself in the hearts of many more tech-savvy customers with its newest electric vehicle, the Speed Ultra 7 (SU7). The model marks a bold expansion beyond its deep roots in consumer electronics and represents the first of its electric vehicles to debut in a very competitive market. With cutting-edge technology, top-shelf performance, and a price point, an otherwise expensive play is affordable to all.

Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun envisioned a very bold vision, “In the next 15 to 20 years, working hard, we will be one of the world’s top five automakers.” This ambition goes a long way to affirm that Xiaomi is sure about the transformation it brings in terms of high performance, smart technology, and sustainability for the EV market.

Speed Ultra 7 Defining New Market Standards

The reception was largely positive, as evidence would show that nearly 89,000 preorders flooded in within 24 hours of launch. After starting with promise, Xiaomi, from now on, has to manufacture in volumes while maintaining their quality of production. The facility in Beijing is estimated to produce about 200,000 pieces per annum. This should encourage them to quench the current consumption while strengthening their position with equal strength against the competitive EV market as a force.

Ford CEO Jim Farley recognised that “Technology firms could be a player in the market and thus put pressure on the old guard of carmakers to be more aggressive in innovation.”
