Chinese firm Xiaomi is known best for its smartphones and e-scooters. Now, thanks to a public sales license filing in China, we get to feast our eyes on the company’s first-ever passenger car, an all-electric sedan called the SU7.<\/p>\n

Cars News China<\/em> managed to spot the filing on the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT)’s website, which publishes a list of vehicles going through China’s homologation process monthly. The data is available to the public and includes things like photos, specifications, trim levels, and more.<\/p>\n

The SU7 reminds us a lot of the Genesis G70 from the front, mainly thanks to those horizontally split headlights. The four-door fastback shape gives off Porsche Taycan vibes, as does the available active spoiler out back. But with a wheelbase of just over 9.8 feet and an overall length of 16.4 feet, the SU7 is a bit longer than a Taycan. <\/p>\n

The filing reveals a handful of other tidbits as well, including 19-inch and available 20-inch wheels, and an available LIDAR system mounted to the top of the windshield. There are two powertrain options, according to Car News China<\/em>: a base rear-wheel drive setup making 295 horsepower, and a more powerful all-wheel drive version making 663 hp. Top speed is limited to 130 mph for the base car, and 164 mph for the more powerful version.<\/p>\n

The SU7 will be built in collaboration with Beijing Automotive Industry Holding Co. Ltd (BAIC), according to Car News China<\/em>, with production expected to begin in December. Interestingly, this is the same company Mercedes-Benz contracts to build its cars in China under the Beijing-Benz joint venture founded in 2005. <\/p>\n

Like most Chinese-designed cars, we don’t expect the Xiaomi SU7 to be sold in North America. In this case we think it’s a shame, as we could use more cool, sporty-looking EVs that look like something other than soulless fish-shaped blobs. <\/p>\n
