JAKARTA - A well-known technology manufacturer from China who has also jumped directly into the environmentally friendly car segment, namely Xiaomi, is increasingly introducing its first SU7 electric sedan to various countries.

Most recently, the Chinese brand brought SU7 to Malaysia and as mentioned above that this car was only exhibited and not launched, citing from the Paultan page, Thursday, October 17.

Looking at the specifications, the sedan, which has a futuristic design, comes with a length of 4,997 mm, a width of 1,963 mm, a height of 1,440 mm, and has a wheelbase of 3,000 mm, larger than the BYD Seal which has a length of 4,800 mm, a width of 1,875 mm, a height of 1,460 and a wheelbase distance of 2,920 mm. In addition, SU7 is equipped with a trunk room behind 517 l, and a trunk front of 105 l.

This sedan car also has the characteristics of the front lights in the form of a triangle, and the back is very wide. The body is also equipped with an entry and exit channel and a prominent diffuser element that functions to improve aerodynamics.

Entering the cabin, the interior is classified as minimalist by carrying a 16.1-inch central touchscreen with 3K resolution, and Xiaomi chooses to maintain some physical control in the center console and steering wheel. A small digital instrument cluster in front of the driver rotates towards a view, Bentley-style, and the entire infotainment system runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 system-on-chip and Xiaomi HyperOS. In addition, it has also been supported by Apple CarPlay and AirPlay.

There are a total of three variants offered in China, ranging from SU7, Pro, and MAX. The first two variants are equipped with an electric motor mounted on the back with a power of 295 hp and a torque of 400 Nm.

In addition, the cheapest variant is equipped with a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) Blade 73.6 kWh battery sourced from BYD Findreams, which provides a CLTC range of 700 km. It takes 25 minutes to charge the battery from a 10-80 percent charging (SoC) with DC fast charging, SU7 built on the 800V architecture.

The SU7 Max electric motor is powered by another NMC battery sourced from CATL, although Qilin's unit has a higher energy capacity, which is 101 kWh. This car will travel a hundred miles in just 2.78 seconds and reach a top speed of 265 km/h, but this risks a shorter distance from the SU7 Pro, which is 800 km.

Well, with a fan base, especially a strong Xiaomi smartphone in Indonesia, the presence of the SU7 electric sedan in Malaysia certainly raises big questions: When will it be Indonesia's turn?
