Since the release of Xiaomi's first model, Xiaomi SU7, it has set one record after another, breaking 50,000 orders in 27 minutes, exceeding 88,000 orders in 24 hours, delivering 7,058 units in the first month, delivering more than 10,000 units in 43 days, and exceeding 20,000 units in 72 days... According to the development of this script, there should be no problem with the delivery of more than 100,000 units in 24 years, and maybe it can hit 120,000 units.
At the same time that Xiaomi SU7 is making great progress, Xiaomi has also begun to quietly prepare its second work. At present, part of the information about the car has been exposed on the Internet,Not surprisingly,Xiaomi's second work is an SUV,What is more surprising is that this is not a conventional SUV,But a performance SUV! So what are the highlights of this model? Let's take a closer look.
Face slamming a Ferrari?
Recently, many bloggers and big Vs in the automotive circle have released suspected road test spy photos of Xiaomi Auto's first SUV. Combined with the relevant information on the Internet, it can be seen that the internal code name of the car is MX11, which is similar to the previous internal code name MS11 of Xiaomi SU7, and the new car will be built based on the Modena platform architecture. It is worth noting that the MX11 was developed at the same time as the released Xiaomi SU7, so we can see its test prototype only six months after the Xiaomi SU7 was released. The design of the MX11 is now almost complete, and at a regular pace, the car is expected to be unveiled by the end of this year or early next year, and will be officially launched next year.
Since the MX11 is still in the road testing stage, the vehicle is heavily camouflaged, but we can still get a lot of useful information from its silhouette and some details. Overall, the MX11 has a more sporty and stylish shape, with a low-lying body posture and an extremely long front end, a clamshell-like design for the front bonnet, obvious bulges on both sides, a small protrusion above the front windshield, and a lidar perception hardware inside. At the same time, the car adopts a large slipback design, with prominent rib lines on the front and rear shoulders, and the sporty style is quite strong.
I believe that many friends will think of another luxury car when they see the body contour and posture of the MX11. That's right, it's the Ferrari Purosangue, which costs a whopping 4.988 million yuan. I have to say that the similarity between these two models is indeed high enough, with the same slender nose, the same bulging shoulder line, and the same large slipback roofline, and the similarity can be said to be more than 90%. The previous Xiaomi SU7 was jokingly called Baoshi Mi by netizens, and this time there is another farami, high EQ is called a heart and a soul, and low EQ is called imitation and reference. Of course, this is understandable, after all, Ferrari really can't afford it, but Faraminu can still work hard, ultra-low price to fulfill your dream of luxury cars, what more bicycles?
Performance beasts?
Personally, I think that MX11 as Xiaomi's first SUV model positioning is likely not under Xiaomi SU7, after all, the two cars are based on the same platform, and SUV models generally have more premium space than sedans, and the relationship between the two may be the same as Tesla Model 3 and Tesla Model Y. Based on positioning and subsequent market development, there is no reason why the technology applied in MX11 is lower than that of Xiaomi SU7.
For reference, the core hardware and technical configuration currently used by Xiaomi SU7 mainly include CTP battery technology, 800V high-voltage system, 9100t super large die-casting equipment, and V6 and V6s two high-power drive motors. Among them, the first few items are difficult to break through in a short period of time, and only the last drive motor can play new tricks.
In fact, in Xiaomi's planning, a new motor unit will also be launched in 2025, that is, the V8s motor. The motor was previously only announced at the launch event, but it was not installed on any version of the current Xiaomi SU7. According to the data, the V8s motor has a maximum output of 425 kW, a peak torque of 635 Nm, a maximum speed of 27,200 rpm, and a peak efficiency of 98.11%. For comparison, the Huawei Driveo ONE motor mounted on the Zhijie S7 has a maximum output of 365 kW and a maximum speed of 25,000rpm (due to limitations, it can only get 22,200rpm), and the advantage of the V8s is quite obvious.
In terms of battery packs, since Xiaomi has now added Sunwoda batteries to the list of suppliers, the battery packs that the MX11 is matched with may be somewhat variable. If the supplier remains the same, then the battery supply plan for MX11 will still be Fodi to increase the lithium iron phosphate battery, and CATL will provide ternary lithium battery. At the same time, since the car is positioned as a more performance SUV, its battery capacity is expected to surpass that of the Xiaomi SU7 (maximum 101 kWh). It is understood that the battery capacity of the Modena platform can be commercially capped at 132 kWh, so it is very likely that MX11 will choose a battery pack with a capacity of 110 kWh or 130 kWh, and the cruising range can probably be more than 800 kilometers.
In addition, there are rumors on the Internet that MX11 will provide an extended range version, the news does not have much information as a support, according to the query, Dongan Power, which is currently the main range extender, has not supplied Xiaomi, so I personally think this is fake news.
Uncle Che concluded
In general, MX11 and Xiaomi SU7 are very controversial in design, referring to the car's higher positioning than Xiaomi SU7, as well as its performance SUV identity, Uncle Che predicts that the positioning of the car will be about 300,000 yuan, this price can be said to be more in line with everyone's psychological expectations, but there is a big gap with the first SUV in the minds of young people. It seems that if you want Xiaomi Auto to make a friend for 99,900 yuan, it is unlikely to be achieved in a short time.
