Chinese electronics and electric vehicle maker Xiaomi has successfully registered its SU7 Ultra electric sedan for public road use in Europe, marking a significant step in the company’s preparations for international expansion. The vehicle, bearing the license plate “M SU7088E,” was approved for testing in Munich, Germany, and represents the first legally registered SU7 to operate on public roads in the region.
The registration and road test were disclosed through a Weibo post by Lu Weibing, Partner and President of Xiaomi Group. Currently on a business tour across Europe, Lu confirmed the test drive of the licensed vehicle and underscored its significance in Xiaomi’s broader global EV strategy.
The plate’s configuration was also chosen for symbolic reasons, referencing both the city of Munich and the SU7 model.
Xiaomi’s SU7 Ultra is positioned as a high-performance electric sedan with a length of 4,997 mm, width of 1,963 mm, and wheelbase of 3,000 mm. The vehicle is equipped with a 93.7 kWh CATL Qilin II battery, delivering a CLTC-rated range of up to 630 kilometers, and operates at an 897-volt system. It features a dual-motor all-wheel drive setup, a top speed of 350 km/h, and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 1.98 seconds.
The car also includes advanced braking and chassis components, including carbon-ceramic brakes and track-calibrated suspension. Xiaomi previously revealed that a prototype version of the SU7 Ultra completed a Nürburgring lap in 6 minutes and 22.091 seconds, making it the third-fastest vehicle on the circuit at the time. A separate production-spec model achieved a lap time of 7:04.957, claimed as the fastest for a mass-produced electric sedan.
To celebrate the vehicle’s performance credentials, Xiaomi introduced a Nürburgring Limited Track Edition of the SU7 Ultra, capped at 100 units globally and priced at approximately 814,900 yuan (around $113,500). This variant includes racing-focused enhancements such as carbon fibre aerodynamics, fixed rear wing, sport seats, and partial roll cage.
Although the test vehicle used in Germany is not intended for customer delivery, the move aligns with Xiaomi’s goal of entering overseas markets, with an international rollout anticipated to begin in 2027. The European registration marks an early phase of regulatory compliance and technical validation as the company continues to develop its EV portfolio.
