Xiaomi car finally arrived, and I was moved by its face value.

Original neck brother bad review

This year’s most popular tram (one) is coming!

At about 4 pm on November 15th, Xiaomi Automobile appeared in the announcement of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and related topics immediately rushed to Weibo for hot search.

Colleagues in the editorial department also gathered around and looked at several existing bulletin boards on the website for at least half an hour.

I have to say that the appearance of the rice cart is not poked, but it grows in the aesthetics of most people. It belongs to 10 people, and 9 people will praise it as good-looking.

From the picture below, the body proportion of Xiaomi car is relatively slender, which gives me the first impression that it is not like an electric car, but closer to an oil car.

The posture is very online, the small wide body at the back is very right, and the whole slip back looks elegant from this angle.

Moreover, you can even find the logo of "Founder Edition" in the optional equipment. What is the user perception? . .

It’s the logo with the letter xiaomi in the back. I always feel that there are a little too many words. . . So that the oil head designer really couldn’t stand it, simply "cut off" the logo and blackened the decorative parts below.

Look at the picture, isn’t it much more pleasing to the eye?

Anyway, after reading the car, some colleagues in the editorial department said it looked like Martin’s and some like Porsche’s, but they all came to the same conclusion that it looked good.

Incidentally, the guy who said he looked like Porsche soon claimed to have found "strong evidence" in Lei Jun’s Weibo. . .

However, it is said that the overall design of Xiaomi car is still self-contained. A closer look shows that this car is not only attractive in appearance, but also in the direction of performance in various designs.

Looking at it from a 45-degree angle, this yellow Brembo caliper is very conspicuous. Tires are also tough guys. Michelin’s PS EV is used for the high-end tires, and the rear tires are 265mm wide. At the same time, there is an air guide slot in the front and rear wheel arches, which can dissipate heat for the brake discs.

Moreover, according to the gossip, this cooling duct is real, and I won’t laugh with you.

Not only that, its rearview mirror even has an optional version of carbon fiber, which can be lighter, and the visual horsepower can be increased by at least 5 horses.

In addition, there is an active tail with adjustable angle at the back. Although there are a lot of these things in domestic cars now, before they were put, they were all things that AMG only had, and at worst they had to be Audi TT.

Regardless of how effective it is, at least it looks like a fight.

In addition, Brother Neck brushed a photo of the interior of a suspected millet car in the group today. Look at these two round knobs. I haven’t pressed them yet, and I’m already driving a rice car to New North in YY.

After the appearance, let’s take a look at the most basic parameters.

First of all, what I didn’t expect was that Xiaomi built a C-class car.

This car is named "SU7", and its length is 5 meters, to be exact, it is 4997mm, which is longer than those cars such as Tesla Model 3 and Weilai ET5, and is similar to BYD Han.

Originally, I guessed that it would be around 4.8 meters, because the size of A+ or B-class cars is more in line with the positioning of "the first car for young people". But they took out a C-class car at once, and the price may not be cheap. . .

In terms of configuration, SU7 has at least three versions: normal version, Pro, Max, and these versions should be distinguished in Sandian, Lidar and performance suite.

In addition to the performance suite we talked about in the appearance, the Xiaomi part of Sandian has also made some differences.

According to the announcement, the total power of the high-profile dual motors is 495kW (front 220kW, rear 275kW), which is a little higher than the 486kW of Tesla Model 3 Performance. As a sporty car, this horsepower is definitely enough.

The supplier of motor is Huichuan, and it is also an old-fashioned supplier of motor and electric control in China. Its home supplies ideal, Chang ‘an, Great Wall and other car companies.

And the battery is lithium ternary from Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited.

The low version is a single motor with a power of 220kW, and the supplier is United Electronics. The battery is made by BYD, Ferrous lithium phosphate.

It is a routine operation to make a difference in battery capacity and motor power. However, there is also a speculation on the Internet that the high-voltage platform is equipped with 800V and the low-voltage platform is 400V, which can pull down the price of the entry version.

I think it’s better to cut some other configurations than using 400V platform on the low-end configuration, because 800V can obviously improve the charging speed, which is a configuration with obvious user perception.

The models released this year, such as Tucki G6 and Zhijie S7, are all equipped with 800V as standard. If Xiaomi doesn’t keep up next year, it’s somewhat unreasonable.

Then there is the lidar. Like friends and businessmen, Xiaomi is placed in the middle of the head and can be seen at a glance.

This configuration is basically differentiated in intelligent driving. For example, in an ideal model, those with lidar will have NOA function in the city, while those without lidar can only drive NOA on the highway.

However, unlike other companies, Xiaomi’s lidar can’t see the plane scanned by laser on the outer surface.

You see, all other models look like this, and the outline of a rectangle in front is very obvious.

Xiaomi’s does not have this outline, and the whole is smaller and more rounded, which is relatively less abrupt. The obvious advantage is that the wind resistance is lower, and there is likely to be some black technology here.

The information known about the rice car at present is probably the above. After the announcement of this car, in addition to the boiling of netizens, it also triggered the enthusiastic attention of some track and performance car owners.

To tell the truth, as a car editor, I really like their sports orientation. But, the category of performance cars is doomed to have little market.

In the words of colleagues, "everyone is talking about it, who really buys a performance car?"

If you want to sell the car in quantity, you must have some household use.

However, as a C-class car, it has a lot of advantages in the interior space, and the gossip says that the interior space of this car is large enough to sit casually in the front row and back row. I don’t know how Xiaomi can use the interior space to impress consumers under the label of "performance".

There is another interesting thing about Xiaomi’s car-making qualification. At least from the announcement, this time there is an answer for the time being.

The enterprise applying for Xiaomi Automobile this time is Beijing Automobile Group Off-road Vehicle Co., Ltd., which is a subsidiary of BAIC Group.

But let’s look at the production address of the car, not the location of BAIC, but Xiaomi’s own new car factory in Yizhuang.

Before August, it was reported that Xiaomi had obtained the qualification of the National Development and Reform Commission, but he had to go to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to get the qualification.

In other words, up to now, Xiaomi has not fully obtained all the qualifications for making cars, so although the car was made by himself, it borrowed the qualifications of BAIC.

At the tail of Xiaomi car, it also says "Beijing Xiaomi", not "Xiaomi car".

According to today’s report by Cailian, Xiaomi should continue to apply for car-making qualification.

From the point of view of qualification, I guess Xiaomi Automobile may think that the qualification approval process is too long and the product can’t wait.

According to Xiaomi’s plan, they will release the first model in the first half of next year. But now the auto market has gone crazy, and the later you enter the market, the more passive you will be.

Take the market segment of C-class sedan targeted by Xiaomi as an example. Before that, there was BYD Han, which sold 20,000 yuan a month, and after that, there was Extreme Krypton 001, which was the main control. Just last week, Aouita 12 and Zhijie S7, which were blessed by Huawei, just went public, and these two also came to this range.

Especially in Zhijie S7, its size is completely the same as that of Xiaomi SU7, and both of them are from mobile phone factories. The car-machine interconnection and smart driving are also the main items.

Therefore, I estimate that in terms of function, configuration and pricing range, the rice car is likely to collide with the intellectual S7.

Therefore, Xiaomi is now rushing to the announcement of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and feels that he is also speeding up himself. Don’t wait until others have divided up the market before bubbling.

In fact, from a long-term perspective, the progress of Xiaomi Automobile is actually not slow. Lei Jun announced to build a car in March 2021. Today, it takes about two and a half years.

When the Wei Xiaoli family built their first car, it was almost the same rhythm.

However, the time for Xiaomi to enter the car has been 7 years later than Wei Xiaoli’s new forces and 18 years later than Tesla. The intensity of market competition is not what it used to be.

However, Xiaomi’s first show today still gave everyone enough surprises. It’s just that there is very little information at present, and it’s hard for us to judge how high its combat effectiveness is.

According to the news that Brother Neck heard privately, Xiaomi has tricks in the motor, intelligent driving and cockpit. I’m not sure how tough it is, but it must be the first echelon in the cockpit, the car and the interconnection.

After all, it is obvious to all that mobile phone manufacturers are going to make car machines.

There is only one key question left. How much will the rice cart sell?

Judging from the current market situation, Brother Neck guessed that the high match of Xiaomi should not be too cheap, but it may be controlled at around 300,000. As for the number of low matches, it is hard to say, it may not exceed 250,000.

But we also know that Xiaomi usually gives a very cost-effective price, especially the first generation products, and there may be a buff bonus.
