A new Chinese electric vehicle has caught global attention — including that of Ford’s top boss. With a sleek design, advanced features, and massive sales in Asia, Xiaomi’s SU7 could soon become a major player in the UK market.

Xiaomi’s SU7 May Arrive by 2027

Chinese tech giant Xiaomi is eyeing a UK and EU launch of its SU7 electric sedan, potentially arriving as early as 2027.

A Breakout Hit in China

Since its launch in March 2024, the SU7 has sold over 135,000 units in Asia, quickly becoming one of the region’s best-selling electric vehicles.

Ford CEO Endorses the SU7

Ford’s Jim Farley has publicly praised the SU7 — and even imported one to the U.S. from Shanghai, calling it a vehicle he “doesn’t want to give up.”

Performance That Rivals Supercars

The Xiaomi SU7 Max boasts 673hp, hits 62 mph in under 3 seconds, and reaches a top speed of 165 mph — placing it among the fastest electric sedans.

With a 16.1-inch screen, 56-inch heads-up display, and rotating dashboard, the SU7 is designed to impress tech-savvy drivers.

Class-Leading Battery Range

Its 101kWh battery delivers up to 497 miles on a single charge — among the longest ranges in the current EV market.

European Test Runs Already Underway

Xiaomi executives have been spotted testing SU7s in Europe, including units with German plates, signalling serious plans for expansion.

Expected to Be Priced Around £60,000

Although official UK pricing hasn’t been released, estimates suggest the SU7 Max could retail near £60,000 when it arrives.

UK Arrival Depends on Domestic Demand

Xiaomi says its first priority remains serving China’s strong demand — but a move to the UK is clearly in the pipeline.
