Xiaomi refreshes SU7 with 902 km range
On March 19, 2026, Xiaomi officially launched the next-generation SU7 sedan, positioning it as a meaningful refresh rather than a cosmetic update: the Pro trim claims up to 902 km of CLTC range, LiDAR is now standard across the lineup, and the top model uses an 897V charging architecture. Pricing starts at 229,900 yuan, which still keeps it below the Tesla Model 3 in China even after the increase.

Hot take: Xiaomi is turning advanced EV hardware into a mass-market value play, and that is exactly the kind of move that forces competitors to spend more to keep up.
- –The standout spec is the Pro trim’s 902 km CLTC range, which is a big headline number even if real-world range will be lower.
- –LiDAR, 4D millimeter-wave radar, and 700 TOPS of compute are now standard, which shifts driver-assist hardware from premium add-on to baseline.
- –The updated price still undercuts the Chinese Tesla Model 3, so Xiaomi is competing on both specs and affordability.
- –Official details also point to broader upgrades in charging, chassis, safety, and cabin tech, making this a substantial product refresh.
