Xiaomi SU7 Max AWD (2025)

While Xiaomi claims 800 km under the lenient Chinese CLTC cycle, our real-world highway benchmark at a steady 115 km/h with climate control (AC) set to 22°C yields 595 km on a single full charge of its 101.0 kWh battery (equipped with 19-inch aero wheels). In urban and ring-road traffic at 50–70 km/h, the SU7 Max reliably achieves 665 to 690 km.

The Xiaomi SU7 Max uses a 101.0 kWh Ternary Lithium (NMC) CATL Qilin Cell-to-Body (CTB) battery pack—unlike the SU7 Standard and SU7 Pro trims, which use LFP batteries. Because NMC chemistry experiences higher voltage stress when sitting at 100% state-of-charge in hot weather, you should set your daily charging limit to 80% or 85% (which still provides 475–505 km of real highway range) and charge to 100% only before long road trips.

On an 11 kW 3-phase home AC wallbox, the 101 kWh battery charges from 0% to 100% in approximately 9.5 hours (or 5.7 hours for a routine 20%–80% session). On a standard 7 kW single-phase home charger, a full 0–100% charge takes about 14.5 hours, while an everyday 20%–80% overnight top-up finishes in 8.6 hours.

Built on a true 871V Silicon Carbide (SiC) high-voltage platform with a 5.2C peak charging multiplier, the Xiaomi SU7 Max sprints from 10% to 80% in just 19 minutes on a 350 kW+ DC supercharger. That earns our fastest "☕ 1 Cup Quick Chai Stop" badge, adding up to 510 km of CLTC range (~375 km of real highway range) in a 15-minute restroom and tea break.

Yes. The SU7 Max supports 3.5 kW (3,500 Watts, 220V AC) of Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) discharge via its external adapter. Using 75% of the battery (75.75 kWh) and keeping 25% in reserve, it can run a full summer household load of 3 ceiling fans, LED lights, Wi-Fi router, refrigerator, and a 1.5-ton inverter split AC (~1,450W continuous draw) for roughly 52 hours.

The SU7 Max earned 9.4/10 by scoring 9.8/10 in Charging Speed (19-min 871V charging + 3.5 kW V2L), 9.6/10 in Real-World Range (595 km highway autonomy from its 0.195 Cd body), and 9.6/10 in Value for Money ($41,500 for 664 hp and dual-chamber air suspension). Its only slight deduction is in Practicality (8.9/10) because its sporty roofline limits rear headroom for passengers taller than 6'1".

At a real-world consumption of 17.0 kWh/100 km and an average residential tariff of $0.14/kWh, the Xiaomi SU7 Max costs just $2.38 per 100 km to drive (and virtually $0 if charged from rooftop solar). A comparable 600+ hp petrol performance sedan consuming 13 L/100 km at $1.25/L costs $16.25 per 100 km—making the Xiaomi over 85% cheaper to run.

The dual-motor AWD powertrain produces 495 kW (664 hp) and 838 Nm of torque, launching from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.78 seconds with a 265 km/h top speed. Thanks to its standard dual-chamber air suspension with 50 mm of vertical travel, ground clearance can be raised up to 163 mm to clear tall speed bumps or lowered to 113 mm on the motorway.

Xiaomi engineered the SU7 Max with 7.8 square meters of active liquid cooling surface area flanking both sides of the Qilin cells, plus a 14-layer aerogel thermal barrier rated to resist 1,000°C. In 45°C summer heat, its dual-silver-coated panoramic glass roof blocks 99.9% of UV and 99.1% of infrared heat, while in -10°C winter conditions its dual-mode heat pump maintains roughly 470 km of real range.

Cross-shop the Xiaomi SU7 Max against three main rivals: (1) BYD Seal Performance AWD if you want a cheaper LFP Blade battery sedan with global dealer backing, (2) Zeekr 001 AWD if you want shooting-brake hatchback cargo versatility and 6.0 kW V2L, and (3) Tesla Model 3 Long Range / Performance if you prefer a more compact body and native Supercharger access.
