Various tech companies have recently ventured into car manufacturing, with Xiaomi notably making waves with its entry. The Chinese giant’s debut model, the SU7, sports an unconventional name for a non-SUV.
Priced at under $30,000 in China, the SU7 boasts a size comparable to the Porsche Taycan, featuring a 295-horsepower motor for rear-wheel drive. Additionally, an all-wheel-drive variant is available, packing 664 horsepower for $41,500.
Xiaomi touts the SU7’s use of the Modena platform, hinting at future models utilizing the same underpinnings. However, rumors suggest the SU8, potentially a crossover, might adopt a different construction.
A station wagon variant of the Xiaomi SU7 seems practical, particularly given existing market demand. While the Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo commands a premium, the SU7 estate could offer similar utility at a more accessible price point.

Should Xiaomi introduce a station wagon SU7 alongside the SU8 crossover, it could resonate well with consumers. The affordability and practicality of such a model might appeal to buyers seeking a versatile and stylish option in the market.
