In the middle of this month, Xiaomi Automobile officially "appeared" in the 377th batch of Announcement of Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Products issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

Similar to the previously exposed camouflage photo of Reuters, Xiaomi’s "ID photo" shows that it is a coupe with a slip-back design. According to the public information, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology got on two "Xiaomi" cars this time, all of which are pure electric cars. The first model was named SU7 (the abbreviation of Speed Ultra, that is, "extreme speed"), and the length, width and height of the whole car were 4997/1963/1455mm, with a wheelbase of 3000 mm. The front of the car was printed with Xiaomi Logo, and the active tail was standard.

Judging from the optional photos, Xiaomi SU7 can be equipped with different styles of front windshield, skylight glass, rearview mirror, tail lettering, etc., among which the high-end version of the model is marked with "SU7 MAX "and" SU7 Pro "mean that Xiaomi will be divided into three versions, namely, normal version, Pro version and Max version.

As for the battery, according to the published information and informed sources, Xiaomi SU7 will adopt the iron phosphate battery of Xiangyang Foday Battery (belonging to BYD) as the low battery life version, while the high version will adopt the ternary lithium battery pack of Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, which is said to be a customized version of "Kirin Battery". According to the battery life, a person familiar with the matter said that the SU7 will be divided into three versions: the standard battery life version has a battery life of over 550km, the long battery life version has a battery life of over 800km, and the dual-motor four-wheel drive version has a battery life of about 680km.

According to the announcement of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, there is still a message that puzzles many people: the product trademark of Xiaomi Automobile is "Xiaomi Brand", but the company name is "Beijing Automobile Group Off-road Vehicle Co., Ltd.", and the "No.21 Courtyard, Huanjing Road, Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone" written at the production address is the automobile factory built by Xiaomi in Beijing.

Xiaomi did not give any response to the question of whether to obtain the qualification to build a car by BAIC or to build a car by BAIC, but there was a problem in BAIC.The R&D personnel of the Ministry believe: "Xiaomi relies on the qualification of BAIC, but produces it in its own factory."
