The Chinese manufacturer is banking on the assembly being fast enough to seriously disrupt the market.

Xiaomi, known for its smart devices, is venturing beyond consumer electronics with its first car, the SU7.

The electric full-size sedan was unveiled in March 2024. The manufacturer started taking orders the same day.
The SU stands for “Speed Ultra.” There are three versions available: the SU7, the SU7 Pro, and SU7 Max.
Founder and CEO Lei Jun claims the Xiaomi Smart Super Factory can build 40 SU7 cars per hour. So a new vehicle could roll off the production line every 76 seconds.

According to Auto Evolution, more than 700 robots operate throughout the factory. In the body shop, 20 human workers are assisted by 381 robots, with eight bots per workstation.

Elena Luchian writes, “From the moment the parts are picked up until they are assembled to the car body it takes less than 30 seconds.”
