On December 7, 2025, the well-known U.S. tech influencer MKBHD took to social media to share his week-long firsthand experience with the Xiaomi SU7 Max, lavishing it with glowing praise. He confidently asserted that if the Xiaomi SU7 were to make its debut in the U.S. market, its competitive price tag of $42,000, coupled with its outstanding performance, would undoubtedly eclipse all rivals in its segment.
The Xiaomi SU7 comes packed with a 101kWh battery pack, which, when combined with its dual-motor setup, unleashes a staggering 673 horsepower. This powertrain enables the vehicle to travel up to 320 miles on a single charge. In terms of performance, it stands toe-to-toe with the high-performance variant of the Tesla Model 3, yet it does so at a more budget-friendly price point.
Aesthetically, the exterior design of the Xiaomi SU7 draws inspiration from the sleek lines of the Porsche Taycan and the sporty elegance of the Aston Martin Vantage. Inside, the cabin is adorned with an HUD (Head-Up Display), a selection of physical buttons for intuitive control, and a premium sound system that delivers an immersive audio experience. The intelligent cockpit is designed to seamlessly adapt to various driving scenarios, enhancing the overall driving pleasure.
MKBHD is of the opinion that the Xiaomi SU7's craftsmanship, feature set, and driving dynamics are head and shoulders above those of vehicles in the same price bracket. However, he also acknowledged that if the car were to enter the U.S. market, it might encounter certain limitations stemming from political factors, such as potential tariffs and trade barriers. Nevertheless, there is anticipation that once it makes its way into the European market in 2027, it will pose a significant challenge to local automotive brands.
