I live in Shanghai, and I see them often. The Taycan inspiration is undoubtedly there, but it is completely different and unique once you see it in person. The Taycan created a typology (or topography?) and this car follows that typology. I don't see it as a direct copy, it is the same that happened in the late 70s and 80s when Mazda, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Ford, Pontiac, and Chevrolet, all followed the same trends to design cars, or just look at how the Volkswagen Golf created a whole category of cars that looks alike. The proportions of the Xiaomi are way better than the Taycan, with plenty of space in the back seats, way more range and tech, and even quicker acceleration, almost 1 second faster... best thing so far is the price, unbeatable there.
I live in shanghai as well and I always mistake the SU7 for a taycan on the road at first glance. they are attractive but as a Taycan owner I still think the taycan looks more aggressive with the wider stance and lower roof line. cant beat that price though, although the badge is not that sexy since Xiaomi is really a budget brand even by chinese standards
@@alexli5279 Maybe because I'm a designer I would never mistake a Xiaomi with a Taycan (from almost any angle are different), all the rest of the things you said are true. There are so many going around that it's nothing exclusive, same feeling as a Tesla Model 3 in Shanghai, just a car. But let's be honest EV-performance-wise, it destroys the Taycan (not in breaking or cornering obviously). I still pick the Porsche even with those flaws. ;)
@@雅君墨客-i9z Was designed by Li Tianyuan, who is recognized for his previous work on the BMW iX. The guy never worked for Porsche but made a lot for the BMW EV line-up.
The Chinese knew from the start no matter what they do, they'd be called copycats. That's why Xiaomi had Tianyuan Li of BMW, James Qiu of Mercedes Benz, and also Chris Bangle in charge of the SU7 design. If you look at all the foreign designers currently working for Chinese car manufacturers, it's straight out a who's who list of auto design elites. Do the Chinese really need these foreign designers? Probably not, but they do serve the purpose of silencing some preconception and prejudice.
Im Chinese. After Xiaomi released this car, over a billion Chinese people scrutinized it under a microscope, trying to find any flaws. But now, six months later, no one has found anything. I can only say Xiaomi has truly done an impressive job, and Lei Jun has given us a huge surprise. From speed and range to body structure-not to mention Xiaomi’s strengths in software and IoT-it’s remarkable.
6 months is not enough. Also "over a billion Chinese people scrutinised it under a microscope" sounds like 2/3 of China's population are car manufacturing experts and quality technicians, which is a bit ironic for anyone with an objective balanced view of the last three decades of Chinese products. This is a new wave though, so it could be the moment when China finally manages to enter in its high quality era, but these new cars need to stand the test of time. Do you think Toyota just woke up one day and said "oh look at our high quality cars" ? No, it took many decades and many Toyota models to build this strong reputation for quality.
@@threesixnine369six Sure, time will tell.I was just using a bit of exaggeration.However, the attention that Xiaomi’s car is receiving far surpasses that of any other cars.

Weirdly enough, i have more trust for Xiaomi to make a car than most other Chinese brand since quite a lot of their electronic products like smartphones, lamps, laptops, wearables, etc are actually really good and usually more affordable than competition.
Have a close look at them, those most other Chinese brands that you mentioned, if you have the chance visiting China. Then you will know Xiaomi is actually surrounded by giants, such like BYD, NEO, AITO, XPENG and Li-Auto etc etc.

thats literally a nothing burger. the top comment is true we all know that or atleast the ones that keep up with geo politics. aggressive moves from china to avoid tariffs.
It is just mind boggling to me that some tech companies can impress people a lot more than the automotive giants who are in the business for 60-70, or even more than 100 years. If some tech companies can put together a nice car with an EV powertrain and little to no flaws, then it's probably not rocket science, and the big boys should be able to do the same thing with at least similar success, but here we are...😑
That's a fact. Only Chinese can produce EV's...even though im not an EV fan at all. Look better than Peugeot or Mercedes. I think only Renault and Skoda will survive on EU EV market and for US Tesla unless they all partner up. Chinese can't win the ICE engine race, but EV is their game.
SU7 is not coming to the states. Ford’s ceo is just being honest about the state of potential overseas competition; I respect him for that. US lawmakers have all but ensured chinese autos fail here with a 100% auto tax. The lotus electre is being affected hard by this. Additionally the sedan market in china is HUGE. That’s not the case in the US
This car is like a weird mix of design elements from other manufacturers. Front, mclaren. Front side view, gives me 1st gen subaru brz vibes. Full side view is 100% taycan, and the rear end really reminds me of like an ioniq 6 or a mercedes eq. Normally I'd hate it, but this was executed pretty well and actually works as a cohesive design
It's not exactly copy, cause they paid millions and millions to the exact designers of Porsche & other fancy cars. As for Ford CEO to make such a statement, maybe they might be a collaboration in the future who knows, there's alr collaboration of Mercedes with Chinese brand.
Huawei president proudly use his iphone too. BYD CEO drove a mercedes... until he told his engineer to rip it apart to see how they can do it differently... good leader are not afraid of competition, rather they find ideas from competition.
In the 1970s Japanese automakers employed a similar strategy to avoid tariffs on pickup trucks being shipped to the US. The cargo beds were shipped separately and were installed at the US ports.
You can always vote to cancel your tariffs, since you often claim to be a democracy. Or is it not allowed to vote for something people really want in a democracy?
Absolutely love the car! Don't think the similarities to a 720s are very prominent, and the Ultra version is certainly very impressive with 1548hp and 0-60 in 1.97, even if it is electric.
I swear, where did "Chaomi" come from?! It's "Shaomi"! Except this little thing that caused me a mental breakdown, I really enjoyed the styling analysis of the SU7. Let's see how it goes if it gets commercial approval for EU market too.
“ it looks like a Porsche” is not a negative statement for either Porsche or Xiaomi. Right? Beauty and good look sells. What is wrong with that? Copying the look of AMC Pacer is not a good idea.
If it’s fully sold out, that means they don’t have overcapacity issues as claimed by the US politicians. Those unsold GM and Ford trucks that have been sitting on dealers’ lots for over a year now and you may call them having overcapacity issues.
It’s cheaper than a model 3 in China , has way more standard equipment and more luxury appointments. It also has superior performance. And they are soon releasing an SUV which looks like a Ferrari Purasangue. If these cars reaches US and EU , it’s game over , that’s why the tariffs. At least the CEO of Ford is direct and honest. And perhaps reminding himself every day how far China has come. Even the competition in China is brutal , so to stand out is really a great achievement.
12:30 the monitors at the rear aren’t come with the car. Driver can put Xiaomi pad/iPad there via attachments. Also there are plenty of 1/4 screw holes in the interior for things like phone holder and GoPro.
The ceo of xiaomi is really based, they started off making phones, the phones are pretty good for the price, he openly said Huawei's phones are overpriced for what it is, people in China made fun of his funny accent when he's speaking English and made a remix song from him speaking English, he fully embraced the meme and put the song in their phone as a ringtone option. Years later he decided to make a car, he made one and got a racing license, made a video of him drifting and took the prototype to the Nurenburg race track and drove it himself. I don't think EVs are well developed enough to make gas cars irrelevant but their prototype performance car looks pretty cool. He would be a fun guest to have on Top Gear if it's still a thing
@@avigatorbecause Chinese auto channel tried it on track short after it come out. all you have do just get better brakes. The prices of toyota camry, can't beat it. Xiaomi Su7 max 498miles range, 0-60 2.8s, 664hp.
These chinese cars have been booming here in Brazil, the prices are also amazing for what they offer, but it's not magic, most of these brands have chinese subsidiary, that's why they are cheap, but still, good price is good price, but if you hate the chinese government, don't buy it
u do realized that the second company that get the most subsidized is tesla behind byd. Chinese government subsidized all automaker doesnt matter which country they are from. All companies get subsidize base on the model and price they sell. This is how a country is aim to achieve 100% ev sales in 2035. Not some only talk but no action country that keep delaying their deadline to achieve the target
For him to say this publicly does make me think it's more of a rally cry to up Ford's EV game. I just hope it also means Ford could up their general sedan game, since they left the market essentially to become an SUV/Truck company. A Ford sedan would be a welcome thing, even if it was only an EV. Although with the EV push starting to face more realities and stalling a little any Ford sedan would be welcome. As for the Xiaomi itself. It is nice but definitely an amalgam design. But still admittedly well done. Chinese EVs though are heavily subsidized which is why they can sell at those prices. Even if imported, I wonder if they would do it at that pricing. Although I'm sure they would still undercut say Tesla.
Just drove my first electric car this week, and I also had a briefing of electric car maintenance and dangers when working on one from a big dealership. They are 100% not the future. The drive was quite fun tbh, but only for the first 5 minutes, then I realized that if you give an 18 yo kid a 250hp car, he will cause an accident, without question. Keeping the diesel.
You obviously didn't watch the who interview of Jim Farley. Many executives would do the same, in order to compete, first you need to know your competitor. How? You use their products and test out. Huawei's founder is a big fan of Apple. He uses iPhone. He said publicly to Huawei, Apple is like a teacher.
Yes, the design is heavily influenced by the Taycan, and yes the front end looks like the McLaren 720S. Regardless, it's one if the best looking cars being manufactured today. As was pointed out in the video, there is still a big market for sedans.
The Chinese are building some beautiful designed cars. Design is super important to sales. BMW axed their design team. I think Audi should be next. The new A5 is a bit disappointing.
It seems like Xiaomi stock can't be bought through my broker. If they partner with Ford, they'll need to be at least twice as large as they are now to keep up with American demand. Looks like I'll miss out on this opportunity this time.
While Xiaomi have an extremely low presence in the US, their product line is expansive. I've owned many of their products, and highly respect their corporate edict of limiting prices to a 7 or 8% profit margin.
Competitor nowadays don't need legacy and history to strive and deliver. It takes Xiaomi less than 10 years to achieve from mobile phone to a sport ev car
Oh I forgot to mention, there is another design where they slapped plates onto 19-inch wheels, but people found the wheels without the plates much beautiful than the ones shown here, which are the 20-inch ones. 😂
that ugly screen is probably the reason Mr. Farley likes this vehicle. Fords, as outwardly great looking as they are, have really crappy looking screens

It is just mind boggling to me that some tech companies can impress people a lot more than the automotive giants who are in the business for 60-70, or even more than 100 years. If some tech companies can put together a nice car with an EV powertrain and little to no flaws, then it's probably not rocket science, and the big boys should be able to do the same thing with at least similar success, but here we are...😑
That's a fact. Only Chinese can produce EV's...even though im not an EV fan at all. Look better than Peugeot or Mercedes. I think only Renault and Skoda will survive on EU EV market and for US Tesla unless they all partner up.
Chinese can't win the ICE engine race, but EV is their game.
this is good sign. to catch up with chinese EV first thing to do is to admit that we are behind.
SU7 is not coming to the states. Ford’s ceo is just being honest about the state of potential overseas competition; I respect him for that. US lawmakers have all but ensured chinese autos fail here with a 100% auto tax. The lotus electre is being affected hard by this. Additionally the sedan market in china is HUGE. That’s not the case in the US
This car is like a weird mix of design elements from other manufacturers. Front, mclaren. Front side view, gives me 1st gen subaru brz vibes. Full side view is 100% taycan, and the rear end really reminds me of like an ioniq 6 or a mercedes eq. Normally I'd hate it, but this was executed pretty well and actually works as a cohesive design
It's not exactly copy, cause they paid millions and millions to the exact designers of Porsche & other fancy cars.
As for Ford CEO to make such a statement, maybe they might be a collaboration in the future who knows, there's alr collaboration of Mercedes with Chinese brand.
He is putting employees and unions on notice.
I would drive this over the McLaren GT lol
I want one. Especially for $30,000
Never going to happen.
saw a nio et9 driving in Cali one day
Huawei president proudly use his iphone too. BYD CEO drove a mercedes... until he told his engineer to rip it apart to see how they can do it differently... good leader are not afraid of competition, rather they find ideas from competition.
I mean they could partner up with them. Bring the car without wheels, front/rear ends, seats, and have the new parts installed here.
In the 1970s Japanese automakers employed a similar strategy to avoid tariffs on pickup trucks being shipped to the US. The cargo beds were shipped separately and were installed at the US ports.
@@terrencebiggane8648 good to know this a plausible thing to do.
@@terrencebiggane8648 In 2019 the US kidnapped HUAWEI's CEO, since then tech giants from China would think twice cooperating with the US side.
The price you keep repeating is meaningless outside China.
The BYD seal with sells for 25k in China is between 50 to 60k in Europe.
Them taxes. (Australia laughing in the corner)
Seal sells for 40k here in Mexico
It's call taxes, he's saying why can't American brand make a car that cost the same with the same features and quality
You can always vote to cancel your tariffs, since you often claim to be a democracy. Or is it not allowed to vote for something people really want in a democracy?
I cant believe this car is from a Chinese designer who has designed the BMW IX
Chris Bangle Strategic design consultant, Jean-Arthur Madelaine-Advenier: Design director at Xiaomi's Munich studio
Absolutely love the car! Don't think the similarities to a 720s are very prominent, and the Ultra version is certainly very impressive with 1548hp and 0-60 in 1.97, even if it is electric.
I swear, where did "Chaomi" come from?! It's "Shaomi"! Except this little thing that caused me a mental breakdown, I really enjoyed the styling analysis of the SU7. Let's see how it goes if it gets commercial approval for EU market too.
In Europe it will have a very different price tag.
@@avigator I'm sure due to the taxes it will be on par with other brands, price wise.
It’s not chaomi or shaomi. It’s actually pronounced more like “See” “Ow” together really quickly.
McLaren Taycan
小McLaycan
“ it looks like a Porsche” is not a negative statement for either Porsche or Xiaomi. Right? Beauty and good look sells. What is wrong with that? Copying the look of AMC Pacer is not a good idea.
AliExpress Taycan!!!
And you cheap can't afford it 😂
Temu lol
can’t tell me the front doesn’t look like a Mclaren artura/720s with the general proportions of a Taycan
Xiaomi's designer used to be at Porsche, similarly, the design chief of BYD used to be at Audi.
If it’s fully sold out, that means they don’t have overcapacity issues as claimed by the US politicians. Those unsold GM and Ford trucks that have been sitting on dealers’ lots for over a year now and you may call them having overcapacity issues.
It’s cheaper than a model 3 in China , has way more standard equipment and more luxury appointments. It also has superior performance. And they are soon releasing an SUV which looks like a Ferrari Purasangue. If these cars reaches US and EU , it’s game over , that’s why the tariffs. At least the CEO of Ford is direct and honest. And perhaps reminding himself every day how far China has come. Even the competition in China is brutal , so to stand out is really a great achievement.
Watching this video on my Xiaomi.
12:30 the monitors at the rear aren’t come with the car. Driver can put Xiaomi pad/iPad there via attachments.
Also there are plenty of 1/4 screw holes in the interior for things like phone holder and GoPro.
The ceo of xiaomi is really based, they started off making phones, the phones are pretty good for the price, he openly said Huawei's phones are overpriced for what it is, people in China made fun of his funny accent when he's speaking English and made a remix song from him speaking English, he fully embraced the meme and put the song in their phone as a ringtone option. Years later he decided to make a car, he made one and got a racing license, made a video of him drifting and took the prototype to the Nurenburg race track and drove it himself. I don't think EVs are well developed enough to make gas cars irrelevant but their prototype performance car looks pretty cool. He would be a fun guest to have on Top Gear if it's still a thing
Admitting that you are behind is the first step to revitalizing your company. Whether you do it publicly or privately should not matter.
You haven't understood this for the longest. You hate on EVS!
Review the "New Scout Vehicles". They are very... Cool
The main problem with this car are the brakes. They are fine for average use but the way this car is advertised to be used on track it's dangerous.
How do you know?
Which is why there are sets of performance brakes (and brake system upgrade)on sell.
It was there from the start per ask...😅
@@avigatorbecause Chinese auto channel tried it on track short after it come out. all you have do just get better brakes. The prices of toyota camry, can't beat it. Xiaomi Su7 max 498miles range, 0-60 2.8s, 664hp.
@ Only better brakes? Sure bro 😂
I've never seen such a new car become so common on the streets in such a short time.
These chinese cars have been booming here in Brazil, the prices are also amazing for what they offer, but it's not magic, most of these brands have chinese subsidiary, that's why they are cheap, but still, good price is good price, but if you hate the chinese government, don't buy it
Like as Tesla wasn't subsidazed aswell...
SB
u do realized that the second company that get the most subsidized is tesla behind byd. Chinese government subsidized all automaker doesnt matter which country they are from. All companies get subsidize base on the model and price they sell. This is how a country is aim to achieve 100% ev sales in 2035. Not some only talk but no action country that keep delaying their deadline to achieve the target
The break rotors and pads are highly questionable right now. They’re the size of a ford fiestas break kit for such a heavy car
For him to say this publicly does make me think it's more of a rally cry to up Ford's EV game. I just hope it also means Ford could up their general sedan game, since they left the market essentially to become an SUV/Truck company. A Ford sedan would be a welcome thing, even if it was only an EV. Although with the EV push starting to face more realities and stalling a little any Ford sedan would be welcome.
As for the Xiaomi itself. It is nice but definitely an amalgam design. But still admittedly well done. Chinese EVs though are heavily subsidized which is why they can sell at those prices. Even if imported, I wonder if they would do it at that pricing. Although I'm sure they would still undercut say Tesla.
Farley was not being weird, he was just being honest.
its shaaomi not chaomi
LOL, it wasn't until I saw the spelling that I knew what company he was referring to.
Just drove my first electric car this week, and I also had a briefing of electric car maintenance and dangers when working on one from a big dealership. They are 100% not the future. The drive was quite fun tbh, but only for the first 5 minutes, then I realized that if you give an 18 yo kid a 250hp car, he will cause an accident, without question. Keeping the diesel.
可能是我没意识到，你的意思是说，让你换个孩子肯定是来不及了，所以只能换掉车了是吗？
You obviously didn't watch the who interview of Jim Farley. Many executives would do the same, in order to compete, first you need to know your competitor. How? You use their products and test out. Huawei's founder is a big fan of Apple. He uses iPhone. He said publicly to Huawei, Apple is like a teacher.
I can’t wait till you do a video about the scout design. Please be next.😢
I love that purple interior 💯😈
I tought this was a McLaren when I see it on the thumbnail 💀
Great preview of Chinese cars! It is pronounced as "Siaomi", there is no "Ch")
Yes, the design is heavily influenced by the Taycan, and yes the front end looks like the McLaren 720S. Regardless, it's one if the best looking cars being manufactured today. As was pointed out in the video, there is still a big market for sedans.
The Chinese are building some beautiful designed cars. Design is super important to sales. BMW axed their design team. I think Audi should be next. The new A5 is a bit disappointing.
Also VW
0-100 ...1.95secs !
Su7 max broke speed record in Nuremberg race track. It’s bigger than Tesla S and faster.
Farley needs to go. Absolute traitor to the company. So many other people who actually like Ford could be in charge instead.
Tavares from Stellantis too.
我以为福特需要聪明且务实的CEO，而不是“喜欢”福特这么简单。你是想要他蒙上眼睛说“福特的电动汽车才是最棒的！make Ford great again! ”吗？
BTW Lei Jun (Xiaomi founder) drives a Ferrari Purosangue lol... he's been spotted in one recently. I expect their SUV to take inspiration from ferrari
已经在路上了，小米下一辆SUV的伪装车从外形来看非常接近那台法拉利。一切顺利的话我们会在2025年Q1快结束时看到它。
Better than ford with falling off parts, pedals getting stuck and the car getting on fire 😆
It seems like Xiaomi stock can't be bought through my broker.
If they partner with Ford, they'll need to be at least twice as large as they are now to keep up with American demand. Looks like I'll miss out on this opportunity this time.
While Xiaomi have an extremely low presence in the US, their product line is expansive. I've owned many of their products, and highly respect their corporate edict of limiting prices to a 7 or 8% profit margin.
Apple invested BILLIONS on R&D for an Apple car. My best guess is the profit margins of >100% couldn't be resolved.
"Diffuser diapers" 😂
Looks like a normal looking new 4 door sedan, just not the cars that US market builds.
Back is Aston Martin, front is McLaren
Please be aware it’s designed by the same German engineer who designed the Porsche Taycan.
Competitor nowadays don't need legacy and history to strive and deliver. It takes Xiaomi less than 10 years to achieve from mobile phone to a sport ev car
I really don't see any Taycan in it...bit it looks great!
Porsche Taycan for the cheap 😂please bring it over here and force American companies to compete
Apple failed big time let’s just be honest
Ford CEO Jim Farley, for a moment, turned into his cousin, Chris Farley’s, character in ‘Tommy Boy.’
All the vents on the car are functional. Just that the front side intake which leads to the front wheel wells are too small inside the wheel wells. 😂
Oh I forgot to mention, there is another design where they slapped plates onto 19-inch wheels, but people found the wheels without the plates much beautiful than the ones shown here, which are the 20-inch ones. 😂
that ugly screen is probably the reason
Mr. Farley likes this vehicle. Fords, as
outwardly great looking as they are,
have really crappy looking screens
丰田最后进入了美国主流市场，福特也没有破产，只要美国人掌握了游戏规则，没什么可担心的，如果你足够聪明，会发现这是福特的CEO在访谈中给出的答案。
10:18 i want to say ,a lot of people in XIAOMI which build SU 7 come from another car company called GEELY
That was merely 1/10 of the engineers in Xiaomi, it's not "a lot". Chinese internet can sometimes be very false on information.
Just watch who his new employer is in a few year, these kind of people are only loyal to themselves.
How did you not notice the rip-off McLaren headlights??
I saw it on the street and to be honest it looks amazing. I think Porsche is finished. You get this for 30k and with more stuff.😂😂
its impossible for the american people to be honest and truthful
A Taycan from the outside, a Model S from the inside.
Temu Taycan
great name 😂
