Xiaomi, one of the best mid-range killer smartphone brands in China, is known for making solid mid-budget phones. It is about to enter the EV automotive market with the Xiaomi SU7, its first-ever electric car, introduced in April 2024.
We already talked about that in our previous article; and the new catch is that SU7 has just been spotted at Karachi Port with rumours that Airlink, the company that owns and manufactures Xiaomi and Redmi phones in Pakistan, will be launching Xiaomi SU7 officially in Pakistan.
However, there is no confirmation about it and we will update you as soon as we receive any authentic news.
Xiaomi SU7
Although the SU7 is the first-ever Xiaomi car, specifically from the brand known for making budget-killer smartphones, their EV isn’t what you’re thinking. It’s a full-fledged C-segment luxury sedan that gives competition to the Porsche Taycan and Audi Tron GT but at a fraction of what they charge. Unfortunately, it’s still not going to be the car that the majority of Pakistanis can afford, but specifically, it’s a target of the Elite segment.
Price
Wanna know the price? The base variant of SU7 costs ¥215,900, which equates to Rs 8.2 million in Pakistani currency. And don’t be too happy. That’s the price in China. After importing it to Pakistan and paying the duties and taxes, it’ll cost at least Rs. 2.5-3 crore. That’s just our calculation, not 100% authentic.
