The MWC is the most indicated place to test the new commercial mobiles, which are still an experiment, you find unimaginable accessories, more than in a Silicon Valley and … cars convention. Yes, cars made their way to the Tech world until they became another element of Congress. Get on to Xiaomi Su7 Max It has been one of the best experiences I take this year.
When Xiaomi premiered his car in the MWC 2024 I went from those who was surprised with the play. Although I see all the meaning, since the interior of the vehicle, the exterior and all software management are pure technology. As soon as the brand’s style can be seen, sitting behind the wheel is an experience. Even behind: the Xiaomi Su7 Max admits the connection of a tablet to the headrest. The iPad is compatible with this module, it is not limited to the Xiaomi Pad.
Sports style and up to 673 hp of power. That the Xiaomi Su7 Max is an electric beast is said by the figures: the double engine with up to 500 kW generates a maximum peak speed of 265 km/h with an acceleration ranging from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.78 seconds. I wish having felt that thrust, but I couldn’t get it out of the MWC.
It would have been well to try the car in a circuit, but it is not yet possible: Xiaomi or markets its cars in Europe or plans to do it in the short term. The SU7 is available only in closed events and with restricted access, as in the case of the MWC. Getting up to the vehicle is an experience in itself: since you act your suitcase to open the door until you feel in the comfortable seats.
I was able to try both the driver’s seat and the subsequent passengers. In the back I missed some space, especially when stretching my legs.
Sports finishes without reaching the extremes of luxury. Like the Tesla, Xiaomi concentrates the management of the car on the central screen, although it is possible to choose a combination of buttons for those who are not fond of the tactile. The steering wheel is comfortable, the ignition is at hand and all the finishes are seen quality. The plastic is very present, also the shot in skin imitation. The feeling at all times is pleasant without reaching the luxury of a more classic sports car.
The Xiaomi Su7 Max keeps the buttons for the basic car settings
And technology? Well, the car is well loaded, as expected. Panel on the dashboard apart from the central giant console, buttons to open the doors, centralized and automatic management from the smartphone, the car has the Xiaomi assistant with AI and voice control (they made us a demonstration in Chinese, for the moment it is not compatible with other languages) and the applications are integrated into the console for, for example, to offer audio content or trace the routes with Google Maps. This is already adapted to Europe although in China it is not used.
Central giant screen, but without losing sight of the physical buttons
The Xiaomi Su7 Max comes standard with some automatic driving control. And you can circulate on its own in the near future, they assured me: the autonomous driving software will come in the form of update.

If available in Spain, it is a car that I would value. The experience turned out to be as comfortable as technological. And without appreciating the slightest improvisation: Xiaomi has thought of every detail to make it is comfortable, pleasant and exciting. Too bad to not having tried that acceleration, there is no doubt that the power is one of the keys of the car; As much as it will not be used completely on the road.
The exterior design is almost traced to Porsche Taycan, in many elements of the interior the inspiration in Tesla can be seen. Even so, getting into the Xiaomi Su7 Max gives its own sensations, it is a higher quality car. At least in a first contact, for a long -term assessment, an in -depth analysis would need. Something unfeasible today.
Interior of the Xiaomi Su7 Max
The strength of the body, the equipment benefits, the purely sporty soul, the amount of accessories available (they taught us the essence dispenser, it is quite curious), all the compatibility with the smartphone, the future autonomous driving and the care in every detail seem of a brand dedicated exclusively to the design of cars.
Xiaomi sells in China every SU7 that manufactures. Would it happen the same in Europe?. Xiaomi does not have a production too high of cars and everyone who manufactures They are sold instantly in their country of origin. And without being precisely cheap: the Xiaomi Su7 Max that I got going to 38,400 euros to the change.
Driving control integrated in the steering wheel
The doubt is: how much could Xiaomi put his car if he managed to distribute it in Europe? The equipment and characteristics of the Xiaomi Su7 Max are in line with the best of current EVS, maintaining an equivalent price with that of China would be a huge attraction to enter the market. In my case it is already on the desire list: I went down from the Xiaomi Su7 Max as Fry in the mythical meme of Futurama.
