Despite the same battery capacity, the vehicle weighs 2360 kg, which is significantly more than the base version SU7 (2205 kg).

SU7 Ultra is noticeably different from weaker versions of the machine, including SU7 Max. The ultra-variant received an improved aerodynamic body kit and uses carbon fiber in 17 body parts, which reduces overall weight and improves handling.

The Xiaomi SU7 Ultra prototype has already set a record on the Nürburgring track, completing the famous Nordschleife in 6 minutes 46.874 seconds, which is 20 seconds faster than the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT. However, it's worth noting that this was a prototype and the production version will have simpler aerodynamics, with less aggressive panels and less downforce.

The expected cost of Xiaomi SU7 Ultra in China is 814,900 yuan (about 11.1 million rubles). The first run of electric vehicles will begin shipping to customers in March 2025, and despite the high price, pre-orders are already gaining popularity.
