However, the focus of attention is not only on the launch of the new Snapdragon chip, but also on the means of transportation used by Mr. Lu Weibing. Specifically, Mr. Lu Weibing was present inside the Xiaomi SU7 Max – the first electric car produced by Xiaomi itself.
The car that Mr. Lu Weibing drove is light gray, attracting the attention of many people. This is one of the first colors announced by Xiaomi, along with blue and green.

The Xiaomi SU7 will be officially launched and available in the market on March 28. According to Xiaomi’s official Weibo page, the car will be delivered right after its launch. Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun then shared: “SU7 is our passion. If you think it’s good, please support us. If you think it’s not good, please let us know, we will take note and improve, but please be gentle.”
As the first product of Xiaomi Automobile, the SU7 is positioned as a sports sedan with impressive exterior and high-tech interior. In the C-class high-performance sedan segment, the Xiaomi SU7 has a length of 4997mm and a wheelbase of 3000mm.
