Xiaomi SU7L long wheelbase variant spotted testing – XiaomiTime

Recently, a camouflaged Xiaomi vehicle was seen undergoing road testing, drawing notable attention from both automotive industry watchers and Xiaomi enthusiasts. The prototype in question appears significantly longer than the standard Xiaomi SU7, fueling speculation that this is the anticipated long-wheelbase version, likely designated SU7L. By extending the vehicle, Xiaomi is addressing feedback regarding rear passenger space—an important factor for business clients and families who value comfort and spaciousness in their electric vehicles. This sighting marks another key milestone in Xiaomi’s ongoing expansion into the automotive sector.

Enhanced Dimensions Targeting Executive Comfort

Initial observation of the test model highlights its extended length relative to the original SU7. The extra space is engineered to deliver a more comfortable and premium experience for second-row passengers. Industry sources suggest this wheelbase extension could add 100-150mm to the current 3000mm, directly enhancing rear legroom and overall passenger satisfaction—a strategic move for the executive sedan market.

Benchmark Specifications of the Standard SU7

To provide context, here are the specifications of the current SU7:

• Length: 4997mm
• Wheelbase: 3000mm
• Width: 1963mm
• Height: 1440mm
• Drag coefficient: 0.195 Cd

The SU7 positions itself as a C-class, high-performance, technologically advanced sedan. The SU7L is expected to retain this design philosophy, while offering increased overall length for added comfort.

Production Timeline and Target Market

With the SU7 and YU7 already in mass delivery, Xiaomi has demonstrated robust manufacturing capabilities and confidence in its automotive lineup. The upcoming SU7L would diversify Xiaomi’s portfolio, appealing to clients seeking a spacious, premium electric sedan without sacrificing advanced technological features.

While full details on configurations and powertrain options remain undisclosed, it is anticipated that the SU7L will offer the same suite of innovative features that have characterized the SU7 series so far.
