Xiaomi SU7 was finally officially launched on March 28. Many users who want to buy Zeekr 007 are in a dilemma. So if the budget is around RMB200,000 to RMB 300,000 and you want to buy a pure electric car, how should you choose between Zeekr 007 and Xiaomi SU7?
First, from the appearance point of view, both Zeekr 007 and Xiaomi SU7 adopt a sporty design style. Among them, Zeekr 007 adopts the “Hidden Energy” design language. The highlight is the optional 90-inch smart light curtain on the front face, the sidelines are relatively unique, and the rear adopts a clam-style tailgate design. The whole vehicle is very well-known.
Xiaomi SU7 has a flatter appearance, a long side, a large sloping rear end, and a powered rear wing. However, many netizens complained that it looked like a Porsche Taycan. As for which of the two cars is more beautiful, it is up to everyone to judge, after all, everyone has different aesthetic standards.
In terms of interior, the Zeekr 007 is equipped with a 15.05-inch central control screen with a resolution of 2.5K, a dashboard size of 13.02 inches, and a built-in Snapdragon 8295 chip; the Xiaomi SU7 is equipped with a 16.1-inch central control screen with a resolution of 3K, a dashboard size of 7.1 inches, and the car computer also has a built-in Xiaolong 8295 chip.
At first glance, the cockpits of both cars have a strong sense of technology, but the Xiaomi SU7 has a higher sense of technology and playfulness. First of all, the dashboard adopts a flip-up design, which looks cooler. In addition, the vehicle has an expansion interface designed on the front seat backrest, which can realize seamless entry of Xiaomi tablets, Apple iPads, etc., and realize five-screen linkage. In addition, the Xiaomi SU7 retains many physical buttons in the car, and users can also purchase central control screen expansion buttons according to their needs. Many functions in the car support expansion, which can bring more freshness to users.
In addition, if you have a Xiaomi smart home at home, you can remotely control your car through the Xiaomi speaker after purchasing the Xiaomi SU7, or remotely control the smart devices at home through the car computer. For example, when you are about to go out, you can use the Xiaomi speaker to turn on the air conditioner in the car in advance, and when you drive home, you can turn on the “home mode” and the car computer can remotely control the lights and curtains at home to open in advance, or check the monitoring equipment at home on the car computer screen.
The Xiao Ai large model AI system can also intelligently identify the information of the vehicle in front. Just shout “Xiao Ai, what’s the car in front?” and the car system will automatically identify and give the answer. When you need to pay at toll booths, gas stations, etc., you can directly open the mobile payment code by shouting Xiao Ai, making the payment process simpler and more efficient.
In terms of size, Zeekr 007 is positioned as a mid-size sedan, with body dimensions of 4865/1900/1450mm and a wheelbase of 2928mm; Xiaomi SU7 is positioned as a medium-to-large sedan, with body dimensions of 4997/1963/1455mm and a wheelbase of 3000mm.
Judging from the parameters, the Xiaomi SU7 is a circle larger than the Zeekr 007, but due to the large sloping back shape, the rear space of the Xiaomi SU7 is not particularly spacious. For tall users, the support of the rear seat cushion of the Xiaomi SU7 is also slightly inferior. If you are going to use it for home, you may have to go to the store in advance to experience it before making a choice.
At present, the configuration of new energy vehicles priced above 200,000 yuan is basically “full”, which is more than enough to meet daily use needs. However, to let everyone make a better choice, we still compare the configuration of the most entry-level models. Among them, the configuration highlight of Zeekr 007 is that the entire series is built based on the 800V architecture, and the computing power of the intelligent driving chip of the most entry-level model can reach 254TOPS, which supports automatic assisted driving on highways.
The standard version of Xiaomi SU7 is built based on the 400V architecture. The computing power of the intelligent driving chip is only 84TOPS. Only mid-to-high-end models are equipped with high-end intelligent driving systems. If your budget is relatively high, then the mid-to-high-end Xiaomi SU7 is very competitive. However, judging from the entry-level version alone, it may not be easy for Xiaomi SU7 to crush its competitors.
However, Xiaomi SU7 still has certain advantages in other aspects. For example, it is equipped with a transparent chassis, smart bracelet key, simulated sound waves, car KTV, trunk power interface, etc. If you place a large order before April 30, you can also get a car refrigerator for free. If you need, you can also purchase Xiaomi’s car mobile phone holder, high-intensity flashlight, sunshade, Xiaomi intercom, smart dual dial, and other configurations.
(PS: Xiaomi SU7 models are not equipped with a seat massage function. Users who have this demand need to consider it carefully.)
In terms of power, if we only compare the entry-level models, both Zeekr 007 and Xiaomi SU7 are equipped with a single motor. The Zeekr 007 can output a maximum power of 310KW, a peak torque of 440 Nm, and an official zero-to-hundred acceleration of 5.6 seconds; the Xiaomi SU7 has a maximum power of 220KW, a peak torque of 400 Nm, and an acceleration time of 0-100 seconds of 5.28 seconds. The performance of both cars is considered strong, and the acceleration difference will not be too obvious during daily driving, but judging from the parameters, the Xiaomi SU7 accelerates slightly faster.
Finally, let’s take a look at the battery life. The entry-level Zeekr 007 is equipped with a 75kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack, and its pure electric range is 688 kilometers under CLTC conditions; the Xiaomi SU7 is equipped with a 73.6kWh BYD blade battery, and its pure electric range is 700 kilometers under CLTC conditions. The initial declared range of the entry-level Xiaomi SU7 was only 688 kilometers, but Lei Jun said that after replacing the 20-inch wheels with 19-inch wheels, the range was increased to 700 kilometers.
To sum up, in the price range of 200,000-300,000 yuan, both Zeekr 007 and Xiaomi SU7 are very strong, but the configuration of Zeekr 007 (entry-level version) is relatively richer. As for space, power, battery life, and other aspects, the gap is not particularly large; the advantage of Xiaomi SU7 (entry-level version) lies in the car computer, smart cockpit, and other aspects, which can bring users a fresher experience, but the starting price of Xiaomi SU7 is slightly more expensive than Zeekr 007.
As for the brand, Zeekr, backed by the Geely Group, naturally has more experience in car manufacturing. Its current models also have good sales and reputation, so consumers don’t have to worry too much about quality control when buying a car. Although Xiaomi Motors is well-known and Lei Jun has a huge number of loyal fans, it is the first time to build a car. The quality control of Xiaomi SU7 still needs some time to be verified by the market, and some users are still waiting and watching. So if it were you, what would you choose between Zeekr 007 and Xiaomi SU7?
