Xiaomi steps up efforts in Germany before arriving in Europe
- Published on 09/11/2025 18:22
Two years before its launch on the Old Continent, Xiaomi is ramping up testing of its electric sedan SU7 Ultra.
Xiaomi’s president, Lu Weibing, traveled 800 km across Germany, reaching 260 km/h on the autobahn and testing the local charging stations along the way.
Xiaomi is no longer moving in small steps but at full speed on the road to European electromobility. While traveling in Germany, the group’s president, Lu Weibing, took a genuine road trip from Berlin to Hamburg, then from Hamburg to Frankfurt, covering about 800 kilometers behind the wheel of the SU7 Ultra. On the unlimited stretches of the autobahn, he pushed the sedan to 260 km/h, praising its exemplary stability at high speed—a real-life test for a vehicle still in the validation phase.
The executive didn’t just focus on pure performance. He also evaluated the German charging network, which he found to be generally well developed. At the charging points, the SU7 Ultra caught attention: curious onlookers recognized the car by its name, some even stopping to photograph it. An encouraging sign for a brand still unknown to the broader European public.
The SU7 Ultra has already made an impression on the Nürburgring track, where its performance helped build its reputation. Equipped with a 93.7 kWh CATL Qilin II battery and an 800-volt architecture, it claims a range of 630 km and 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 1.98 seconds.
This testing campaign is part of the preparation strategy for the planned European launch in 2027, once profitability is reached in the Chinese market in 2026. Xiaomi aims to embody a new generation of technology-driven automakers, at the crossroads of connected cars, performance, and smart mobility.
