The SU7 Ultra is equipped with an advanced triple-motor EV powertrain that combines two V8S e-motors with a single V6S motor.

At the heart of the SU7 Ultra’s powertrain is Xiaomi’s HyperEngine V8S e-motor, which can produce up to 425 kW and 635 Nm of torque while reaching an astonishing 27,200 rpm. The vehicle is powered by CATL’s Qilin 2.0 battery, designed for high-performance applications. This battery, with its lithium iron phosphate chemistry, offers rapid charging capabilities, reaching 80% charge in just 12 minutes.

With a weight of 1,900 kg, the SU7 Ultra incorporates a carbon-fiber body and aerodynamic enhancements such as a massive rear wing, substantial front splitter, and oversized diffuser, generating a remarkable 2,145 kg of downforce. Xiaomi Auto plans to test the SU7 Ultra on Germany’s Nürburgring to challenge current lap records for electric sedans, including those set by the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT, Rimac Nevera, and Volkswagen ID.R.
