The production version of the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra will go on sale in the first half of next year, and will use the same chassis structure, triple motors and battery pack as the prototype.

Xiaomi (HKG: 1810, OTCMKTS: XIACY) will launch the SU7 Ultra, the most powerful variant of its first electric vehicle (EV) model, the SU7, in the first half of 2025, after giving its prototype an appearance last week.

The production version of the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra will go on sale in the first half of next year, featuring the same chassis structure, triple motors, and battery pack as the prototype, the company's founder, chairman, and CEO Lei Jun said in a live video stream today.

The Xiaomi SU7 Ultra production version will be slightly more expensive, but not particularly so, Lei said.

The prototype brakes from 100 km/h in 25 meters, and the front and rear six-piston calipers can operate at a maximum temperature of more than 800°C.

The body cladding of the SU7 Ultra prototype is fully made of carbon fiber, totaling 15 square meters, which reduces the car's weight to 1,900 kg.

For comparison, the SU7 weighs 1,980 kg in the standard version and 2,205 kg in both the Pro and Max variants.

However, it's worth noting that Lei said today that the production version of the SU7 Ultra won't use an all-carbon fiber design as it would be too costly.

Xiaomi SU7 delivered over 10,000 units in June and would still deliver over 10,000 units in July, Xiaomi said earlier this month.
