Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun presented detailed specifications of the next-generation SU7 in his livestream last night, focusing on upgrades, design options, and assisted driving features. Recently, Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun’s livestream appearances have become increasingly frequent. Since the start of 2026, Lei Jun has hosted several livestreams in just over two weeks, with all discussions centered on the previously announced “next-generation SU7.” In earlier sessions, however, he shared relatively little concrete information about the new SU7. This time, the focus returned squarely to the next-generation model, with a broader range of details disclosed. Xiaomi CEO Leijun’s livestream Here is a brief recap of what is currently known about the next-generation SU7. The new SU7 will continue to be offered in three variants—Standard, Pro, and Max—but with substantial configuration upgrades. The Standard and Pro versions move to an 800V architecture (752V), while the Max adopts a near-900V system (897V), significantly improving both discharge and charging performance. All variants will come standard with LiDAR and the Thor-U chip, while the motor is upgraded to the new “V6s Plus.” Single-motor versions deliver a combined output of 235 kW, while dual-motor versions reach 508 kW. In terms of pre-sale pricing, the Standard version is set at RMB 229,900 ($32,186), the Pro at RMB 259,900 ($36,386), and the Max at RMB 309,900 ($43,386), all representing increases versus the current lineup. The most notable differentiation between versions lies in range: the Pro offers a maximum range of up to 902 km, while the Max emphasizes enhanced performance. Beyond these confirmed specifications, Lei Jun’s additional disclosures focused mainly on optional equipment and exterior and interior color schemes—some of which can already be found in regulatory filings. He also announced a series of incentives for the YU7, including a Tesla-style seven-year low-interest financing plan, with a down payment of RMB 49,900 ($6,986) and monthly payments of RMB 2,593 ($363).

Customers who have already locked in orders but not yet taken delivery can upgrade the seats for RMB 1,000 ($140). Below is a closer look at the new information Lei Jun shared about the next-generation SU7. New twists in exterior design According to Lei Jun, most of the newly revealed information in this livestream revolves around exterior design, including wheel options and the number of available exterior colors. Official materials show that the next-generation Xiaomi SU7 will offer six wheel designs. The standard 19-inch wheels come in one design, the 20-inch wheels offer the widest selection with three designs, and the sport-oriented 21-inch wheels are available in two designs. New Xiaomi SU7’s wheel design Notably, the 21-inch wheels are exclusive to the SU7 Max. All three variants—Standard, Pro, and Max—can choose either 19-inch or 20-inch wheels. Official information also confirms that the new SU7 adopts a staggered tire setup, with 245 mm tires at the front and 265 mm at the rear. The second major reveal concerns exterior colors, with a total of nine options announced. New Xiaomi SU7’s color options Lei Jun explained that four “classic colors” from the previous SU7 are retained, while Obsidian Black from the Ultra and Flowing Gold Pink from the YU7 are also introduced. In addition to the already announced Capri Blue, the new SU7 will feature two entirely new colors. These two new colors were not revealed during the livestream. Lei Jun said they will be announced before the official launch event, suggesting more marketing activities to come. As for interior colors, beyond the already disclosed “Midnight Black,” four additional options will be available. Two are the same purple and red used on the current SU7, one is a brand-new color, and the fourth is a two-tone scheme. Lei Jun also discussed interior adjustments, including a stronger emphasis on symmetrical design and refinements to the cupholder layout based on user feedback. These changes reflect Xiaomi’s growing experience and maturity in vehicle development. Regarding showroom availability, Lei Jun said he hopes display vehicles will arrive between February and March, ideally before the Lunar New Year holiday. As he put it, he wants consumers to be able to “drop by a Xiaomi store to see the new SU7 while shopping during the Spring Festival holiday.” The livestream then shifted to performance-related specifications. After reiterating that the Pro version’s maximum range reaches 902 km and reaffirming Xiaomi’s commitment to rigorous data standards, Lei Jun introduced the new “V6s Plus” motor debuting on the next-generation SU7. New Xiaomi SU7’s “V6s Plus” motor On paper, the motor’s peak speed increases to 22,000 rpm, CLTC efficiency improves by 1.5%, output rises by 15 kW on the Standard and Pro versions, and by 13 kW on the Max. Underlying technical upgrades were also briefly mentioned, including segmented magnet technology, optimized rotor topology, deep optimization of power modules, and improvements to the active lubrication system. Addressing other fan discussions, Xiaomi Vice President Li Xiaoshuang added that compared with the first-generation model, the new SU7 is heavier, largely due to additional equipment. New Xiaomi SU7’s additional equipment New features include 2,200 MPa high-strength steel, nine airbags, air suspension on the Pro and Max versions, and standard adjustable dampers across the lineup. According to Li, managing to keep the weight increase to only several dozen kilograms despite these additions demonstrates effective weight control. Ultimately, real-world energy consumption will be key. If the new SU7 can maintain strong efficiency despite the weight increase, current skepticism may turn into praise. New assisted-driving features After covering colors and configurations, the livestream invited Chen Guang, head of Xiaomi’s end-to-end intelligent driving team, shifting the discussion to assisted driving. Chen said the newly added 4D millimeter-wave radar on the next-generation SU7 can provide more accurate perception data in extreme scenarios, helping ensure active safety performance and stable operation of the HAD system. New Xiaomi SU7’s assisted-driving features Turning to HAD upgrades, Chen emphasized the importance of introducing reinforcement learning and world models. Together, these technologies significantly elevate Xiaomi’s assisted-driving capabilities, enabling better understanding of real-world road scenarios and more reliable decision-making in edge cases. Assisted driving is one of the core upgrades of the new SU7, though most details have already been disclosed. The Standard, Pro, and Max versions all come with LiDAR and the Thor-U chip, meaning intelligent driving capabilities are no longer a differentiating factor between trims, mirroring the SKU strategy used for the YU7. As a result, when the next-generation Xiaomi SU7 launches in April, it will feature the latest Xiaomi HAD Enhanced system, with intelligent capabilities in line with mainstream industry standards. Toward the end of the livestream, Lei Jun and Xu Jieyun held a customary Q&A session, addressing questions such as actual autonomous driving test mileage and sensationalized third-party claims. Lei reiterated Xiaomi’s official stance of transparent communication, continuing the approach adopted since late last year. At present, the next-generation SU7 already has pre-sale prices announced, meaning there will likely be no traditional pre-sale launch event. However, ahead of the formal launch, Lei Jun is expected to continue releasing product information through multiple livestreams to maintain momentum. From an industry perspective, replacing a pre-sale launch event with livestreams represents a novel marketing strategy. That said, the information disclosed so far remains limited, and many core details of the new Xiaomi SU7 are still to be revealed. The real “big reveal,” it seems, is being saved for the official launch event.
