Everything written above sounds cool, but there are many other electric cars in the world from more experienced manufacturers. They also drive fast, are equipped with an autopilot, and inside there is a large display – you can even play games and watch TV series on it.
The main feature of Xiaomi SU7 cars is their prices. Even when converted to rubles, they are impressive:
- Xiaomi SU7 – ~2.8 million rubles;
- Xiaomi SU7 Pro – ~3.2 million rubles;

If you compare the Xiaomi SU7 with its analogues, this is a very good buy. Even the cheapest Tesla Model 3 in Russia costs from 3 to 7 million rubles, and we are often talking about used cars.
