The Xiaomi Mi SU7 is the most talked-about car this year.
It just so happened that we also ordered a founding version of the MAX top model and picked an ice berry…
Ah no, the color of Xiaguang purple, and it has been picked up on April 4th, and it is also the first batch of car owners in Hangzhou.
Before picking up the car, we asked everyone what they wanted to know about it.
It can be seen that everyone really cares about this car, collecting nearly 100 questions in one night, and then we sifted through these questions and aggregated them into 34 key questions.
These days, we are on vacation, with several waves of people taking turns to test drive, shuttling through the streets and alleys of Hangzhou, and even going to Shanghai, working until 3 am to run out of power.
In such a high-intensity test drive, we conducted in-depth experience and evaluation of the SU7, and the car has run 1073 kilometers. We also discovered many details that we had not noticed before.
For example, its driving is even more enjoyable than we expected, but its car-machine interaction has not achieved the desired effect because many functions have not yet been implemented.
But overall, we feel that this car is still a good buy.
Therefore, in today’s article, we will not talk about anything else, but will answer the questions that everyone is most concerned about one by one.
Okay, the question-and-answer session begins with the three most asked questions:
1. How about the space in the back row? Will the 1.8-meter seat in the back row be turned up and pushed to the head?
The space in front of the rear legs is okay, but because the seats are too short and the platform is high, the thighs are not supported enough.
As for the head space, our colleague who is nearly 1.8 meters tall sat in it, and it was almost at the top.
We actually measured the flying slope, and the speed of 70 is good, and 80 becomes Super Mario.
2. Test the battery life to see how far it can go.
We started testing on the first night we got the car. From Hangzhou EFC to Shanghai B station headquarters, the air conditioner is 24 ° C, the refrigerator is 2 ° C, and the kinetic energy recovery is soft. The entire road section is about 80% high-speed, 20% urban area, and the high-speed stable speed is between 120-130. There are three people sitting in the car, plus a total of 240 kg of shooting equipment, the outdoor temperature is 11 ° C, and it is raining lightly.
For the SU7 MAX version, we chose 20-inch wheels, and the official CLTC battery life is 750 kilometers.
We went from a full charge to a zero charge, and really, we almost got out of the cart in the middle of the night,The final measured endurance was 462 kilometers.
Hey~ There may be rice noodles or rice black here.
It should be emphasized here,Our battery life test is not for the purpose of running a high battery life, but to fit our habit of often traveling to Shanghai. On the expressway, it is 130, so there is no need to compare with those who run 100 at high speed.
This data is also for your reference. If you are driving in the urban area, it will definitely be no problem to run 500 kilometers.
3. Is Carplay bigger than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class? How about support for Apple’s ecosystem?
Unexpectedly, this function turned out to be a cake.
Carplay is currently unavailable and will have to wait for the OTA.
But you have to ask about the size. The screen of Mercedes-Benz C is 11.9 inches, and Xiaomi’s is 16.1 inches. If the adaptation effect is what Lei Jun showed at the press conference, Xiaomi will definitely be larger.
In addition, the rear row of the SU7 can be controlled by an iPad, which is connected to the vehicle hotspot, and then enters the screen-projecting APP to adjust the air conditioner and seat. However, turning off the air conditioner can only turn off the rear row, and music can also be played at the same time.
However, the iPad does not support PIN point power supply, so it must be plugged in, while the Xiaomi pad can be charged with PIN point.
After finishing the TOP 3 questions, we will answer them in turn from the aspects of the vehicle’s appearance, interior, intelligence, and driving experience.
Let’s talk about the appearance first.
4. Driving into the street, how is the return rate?
No? This is a guaranteed time… Xiaomi SU7.
The return rate is very high. During our live broadcast that night, we were "stopped by the Americans" in Shanghai, and we were even beckoned by a few cars on the highway to see the cars.
Let’s put it this way, driving a big car now may not be more attractive than the SU7.
5. Is the vehicle workmanship good and how is the assembly effect?
Our car is smaller than the various seams on the assembly of the trial car, the rear wing is slightly uneven, and the overall workmanship of the vehicle is at a medium level, which is better than expected. As for the workmanship of the high-mounted brake lights at the back, our car is not so exaggerated…
6. I heard that car paint is not scratch-resistant, is that true?
It feels okay to use it these days, unless you want to scratch it.
By the way, I asked the after-sales service for you. One surface of SU7 refinish is 800, not counting labor costs. How much is your car?
7. Will the electric tailgate pinch your hands? Will bananas and cucumbers be pinch off?
The paper is clamped firmly.
The carrot and banana were both clipped and then bounced away, causing some injuries.
Hands are fine, but don’t try it lightly.
8. Are the front and trunk large?
The front tank is very large, although there is a slope, but in fact it does not affect the loading. The main problem is that the glass water filling hole is on the inside of the rubber strip, and the actual use may flow into the front tank, but there is no drain hole inside. If you are not careful, water will accumulate.
No wonder Ray always said that he could put the fish he caught in front. It turned out that he could raise fish.
There is enough space in the trunk, because it is relatively deep, and there is still room under the cover plate, so you can put some small pieces. However, because the bottom of the trunk is hollow, the load-bearing capacity is only 35kg, so you should be careful when using it.
9. Does the semi-hidden door handle have mechanical buttons? Can the door be opened when the vehicle is powered off?
We specially consulted Xiaomi’s people,As long as the vehicle is powered off, there is only a broken window to enter the car, and there is no mechanical switch on the outside.
And there is a mechanical door opening device inside, which is on the door panel.
Is it necessary to upgrade the 10.21-inch wheels?
The 21-inch wheel hub looks handsome or handsome, and the overall appearance is larger.
But because the vehicle itself uses a 20 Michelin PS EV, high-speed wind noise and tire noise are obvious, and a 21-inch Pirelli P ZERO tire with a tire width of 245/35 (rear tire 265mm) is also more expensive than a PS EV. Unless you are a pure driving enthusiast and are ready to brush the track, there is no need to go.
Let’s take a look at the interior issue again.
11. Does the car smell big, and how are the interior materials and workmanship?
The smell of SU 7 is the smallest among the new energy vehicles I have tried so far. Of course, it may also be because of the founder’s version that the current car has been in the sun for many days.
I think the interior materials are actually not as good as Krypton 001. For example, SU7 under the door panel is a hard plastic, and 001 is a soft coating.
The workmanship is okay, and I didn’t find any big problems. It is the OEM of the founding version on the steering wheel. When playing the direction at a large angle, there are rowers.
The picture above is SU7, and the picture below is 001.
12. A 1/4 threaded interface is reserved on the car. Is it convenient to shoot Vlogs?
There are three 1/4 ports in the front row, one for the left side of the main driver to take a close-up view of the face, one for the middle shot, and one for the rearview mirror in the middle to take a picture of the road conditions and the car. You can arrange any position you want.
If that’s not enough, you can also add a suction cup to the canopy glass, and the SU7 car ecosystem can be considered clear.
But do so many people (like me) really like to photograph their own cars?
13. How does the refrigerator work? Is the Coke cold?
It just so happens that we have a Taiwan M9 and a refrigerator, so let’s make a Horizontal comparison.
We filled two refrigerators with 22 ° C Coke at the same time, and the temperature of the refrigerators was adjusted to the lowest level. After an hour of temperature measurement, the Coke in the Xiaomi SU7 dropped to about 10 ° C, which was 2 ° C lower than the temperature of the refrigerator.
This semiconductor refrigerator is enough to ice a Coke, but we found that using Xiaomi refrigerator is really troublesome.There is no way to open the refrigerator by calling Xiao Ai, so you have to find the buttons in the car machine by yourself, and the temperature control of the refrigerator is also hidden deep.
14. How is the massage strength of the front seat?
Sorry, the SU7 series does not have seat massage.
But this price car, even with a seat massage, is almost interesting to use. If you cut this in exchange for a cheaper car price, then I don’t think it’s a problem.
15. What are the ways to play with various accessories?
Okay, let’s take a look at the intelligence of the car. Xiaomi, as a mobile phone factory, builds cars, and this part has the most problems.
16. How does Mijia ecology work?
In fact, the Mijia APP in the mobile phone got on the bus, and the functions that can be realized in the car are all on the mobile phone. The icon in the car machine is large, which is more convenient to click. Other than that, I didn’t feel too much freshness.
But there is a slot point that there is no "select all" button when importing. Milo’s Mi family in our hardware department has about 90 devices, so we really need to click one by one.
17. Is there a sentinel mode?
Yes, and the viewing angles are rich, and there is no blind spot monitoring for 6 viewing angles. It takes about 2 kWh to open overnight. But because it is parked in the park, there may be more people passing by, which may also affect the power consumption.
18. Is Xiao Ai smooth? Can you let her capture the violation of the car in front? If the mobile phone and the car are not the same Xiaomi account, will calling Xiao Ai respond?
Xiao Ai was very fluent, and his response was also very humanized. This was reflected in the fact that when you called him, it was not a stiff "Hello to the main driver, hello to the co-pilot", sometimes "Hey", and sometimes "What’s wrong".
One night, I felt cold and asked her to turn on the seat to heat it up. She actually said, "It’s open for you, and it will be warm soon." This kind of humanized feedback is an unexpected little surprise. You can also try to explore it. There will definitely be more application scenarios for large models in the future.
As for the violation of the front car, and the demonstration at the press conference can answer what model the front car is, we have to wait for the OTA.
If the mobile phone and the car are not the same account, call Xiao Ai, and both will answer. If it is the same account, our mobile phone will sometimes be lit up after we tried it, but there will be no response in the next step. It is still Xiao Ai of the car and the car that is talking to you.
19. Is intelligent driving far ahead of the world?
At present, Xiaomi has not yet opened urban NOA, only high-speed elevated NOA, the actual experience is much more radical than the world, but also because of the steering ratio or training reasons, the high-speed autonomous lane change is very fast and stable, and it does not follow the car at all. If there is a chance, it will exceed. Depending on personal preference, we think it is very good.
However, this would make people feel less at ease. In comparison, the wise driver of the world was more composed.
20. I want to take a look at the car’s running score.
We would also like to try it, but the current problem is that the Xiaomi car is closed, there is no developer mode, and there are only a few fixed applications in the app store.
After trying various methods, I have not successfully installed Antutu.
At the moment of writing the article, we are still figuring out how to install it. When we succeed, we will let you know immediately.
21. Can the car be connected to a Bluetooth headset?
Tried it, didn’t work.
22. When there is no network in the underground parking lot, can the car still be used?
No way.After being disconnected from the Internet, it is mentally retarded.
23. Is the black edge of the screen big? Can the car play 3A? Can you say "Yuan God, start!"?
The black edge is okay, but this car is not a complete game at present. There are strategies like "Return to the Future 1999" and "Kingdom Guard Army", as well as RPGs like "Crystal Nucleus", but why do you want to play games on the car? Don’t you have a mobile phone? (dog head)
24. The sound effect is good, how are you ok?
The sound is quite ordinary, the sound is rubbed together, and there is a lack of layering. I have tried several modes of the sound field, and I feel almost interesting.
For the "are you ok" that everyone was looking forward to, of course Xiaomi also hid an Easter egg. You said to Xiao Ai, "I want to hear Lei Jun’s voice", and it came.
25. Ask Xiao Ai to open the airbag, will it be successful?
Xiao Ai is ignoring you at all…?
After talking about so many static experiences, of course, there are also many friends who are very concerned about how the car drives. Let’s talk about the driving experience of the SU7 again.
26. Many professional drivers say that the driving experience is unique. Acceleration, drift, front and rear power distribution, and chassis tuning are very powerful. I want to see the actual measurement.
In terms of the texture of the chassis alone, it is unbeatable at this price. The whole is very sporty, and it has a strong floor absorption when opened. The filter shock is advanced enough, which is the kind of performance that always gives you feedback on the road, but all the excess rare vibrations are filtered out. Colleagues in the editorial department are full of praise for this chassis.
And under this chassis, the SU7’s brakes are not good enough, the front section is more sensitive, but it is not the kind of linear braking performance, you can feel the empty position when you step on it. Such a good chassis should be equipped with a better brake.
Then, the steering of the SU7 is very precise, the steering ratio is small, and there is almost no empty position. But I think the steering damping of the sports mode can be a little larger.
We also tried drifting. Although the front and rear power distribution of this car can be adjusted steplessly, it is difficult to find the critical point of drifting because the tire grip is too strong and the power is fierce.
27. How about NVH? Will the highway be noisy?
It was not particularly good. At 90 per hour, the highest noise in the car would reach 70 dB, but it was not at an unacceptable level. At this speed, the voice in the car could still be heard clearly.
28. Are there any restrictions on track mode? If a novice driver drives sports or track mode on the street, is there a risk of losing control?
The track mode is about this master mode. There are many adjustable items, not only can you adjust the front and rear power, but also the kinetic energy recovery of the front and rear motors can be adjusted separately, and the anti-skid can also be turned off completely.
We very much do not recommend that novices go to the street to try the master mode. SU7 steering ratio is small and the horsepower is large. If there is no anti-skid, it will be very easy to lose control if the operation is not good.
29. How does it feel to cross the pit and pass the speed bump? Will the chassis be scratched in the lower basement?
One word, cool. The chassis is very neat after a big pit, the body does not collapse, and it is very tough after a small pit, and the filter shock is just right.
Generally, it is not possible to scrape the chassis in the basement, but when you come up, don’t set the suspension to the lowest level, or you will be like me…
30. What is the level of suspension? Is it necessary to choose?
This problem is like buying a Xiaomi phone. Xiaomi has always been the most cost-effective. If you have the budget, you can choose it or not.
Our top version with max, it can be said that Xiaomi’s air suspension is very good. Although it is a single-cavity air suspension, it can still firmly support the body during intense driving. When crossing big ditches and major hurdles, the rebound is very fast, and the overall tuning will not feel stiff, but very resilient.
And, buddy, how can you lie low if you don’t buy an empty suspension? This is the Tayc Xiaomi SU7.
However, we have booked a test drive 215,900 low-end version, and the comparison will be clearer.
In addition to the car itself, there are also people who are curious about the issue of buying a car.
31. How much is vehicle insurance?
There are three insurance institutions in the delivery center in Hangzhou, and the prices are all between 8,000 and 9,400 yuan. The company is 8,200, and the individual is more than 9,000.
Among them, there is a new new energy insurance item that can be mentioned, such as the failure of the external power grid, 140 yuan. It mainly guarantees that spontaneous combustion caused by the problem of the external power grid can be compensated. There is also tire insurance, about 100 yuan. If four tires are damaged or blown, they can be replaced with tires of the same model, size and brand. Another is that medical insurance external drugs are insurance for drugs that are not covered by medical insurance after an accident among the three.
Everyone considered the tire suggestion carefully, and the other two suggestions were ticked, and there was not much money.
32. The family is choosing a car. When my parents hear about Xiaomi, they don’t consider it. They say that the quality of a mobile phone manufacturer’s car is definitely not as good as that of an old car company. How can I convince my family to choose Xiaomi SU7?
It’s very simple, whoever pays will listen to whom.
33. If there is no delivery center in the city where you are located, what about the maintenance at the back? When buying a used car, is there a difference in the warranty?
At present, if you don’t have a delivery center in your city, you can only go to a place with a delivery center for maintenance. For example, Jinhua doesn’t have it, so you can only come to Hangzhou for maintenance. Xiaomi’s official answer is that maintenance centers in multiple cities are being opened as soon as possible, and the coastal area should open faster.
Finally, let’s talk about a problem that my friends are very concerned about.
34. Why didn’t you choose 925 for your founding edition number?
The source of 9.25 was on that day, we pigeon friends, and there is no daily push. So if you choose No. 925, there will be no content in this issue…
Okay, here are the answers to our questions about this Xiaomi SU7.
Due to various reasons, there are still some questions raised by everyone that we have not had time to evaluate. For example, how is the sun protection ability of SU7? It is rainy in Hangzhou these days, and the temperature is not high, so conditions do not allow it.
In addition, there are some functions like city NOA that need to be updated by the manufacturer.
