Industrial efficiency impresses and puts Chinese automaker ahead in the global race for electric vehicles
Xiaomi has made a strong entry into the electric vehicle market. With the launch of the SU7, the Chinese company presented its cutting-edge industrial capacity to the world, surpassing even traditional brands like Tesla in production rate. According to the company itself, a new car can leave the assembly line every 76 seconds.
Accelerated production at HyperFactory
This impressive mark is only possible thanks to the so-called HyperFactory, located on the outskirts of Beijing.
The site is fully automated and combines speed with environmental responsibility. The plant occupies 718.000 m², with 396.000 m² dedicated to manufacturing area.

More than 700 robots participate in the process, with 91% of tasks automated.
Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun says the production target has been achieved by integrating cutting-edge technologies.
The assembly system uses 39 robotic arms to manipulate large body parts, resulting in up to 40 cars per hour rolling off the production line.
Advanced casting and assembly technology
One of the highlights of the factory is the system Hyper Die-Casting 79 100 Cluster, which allows the rear part of the chassis to be molded into a single piece made from a titanium alloy developed by Xiaomi itself.
Previously, 72 different parts and 840 welding points would have been required. Now, this component is made in a single step, speeding up the process and reducing waste.
In addition, the vehicles are finished using the 3C2B method, which consists of three layers of paint and two baking processes.
The result is 8% greater smoothness compared to methods conventional. A quick-change system allows you to change the color of your vehicle in just 40 minutes. Nine options are offered, distributed between the SU7, SU7 Pro and SU7 Max versions.
Sustainability and own test circuit
The factory also has a photovoltaic plant that generates 16,4 million kWh per year. This reinforces Xiaomi's commitment to environmentally friendly practices and reducing its environmental impact. Next to the unit, there is a 2,5 km long test circuit.
In it, vehicles can reach up to 120 km/h on straight stretches, ensuring quality control before delivery.
To ensure efficiency throughout the production chain, Xiaomi has established an integrated supply chain with Chinese suppliers such as CATL and BYD, benchmarks in the battery sector. This ecosystem strengthens the country's technological autonomy and reduces external dependencies.
The public response to the SU7 was immediate. Just 24 hours after its launch, the company received 88.000 orders, a number that already exceeds its annual target of 75.000 units. This early performance confirms Xiaomi’s potential as a new force in the global automotive sector.
Xiaomi bets on new models
The brand has already indicated that it will expand its line of electric vehicles. An SUV and a third model are in the plans, aimed at those looking for more affordable options.
The strategy is clear: democratize sustainable mobility and compete for space in the most competitive segments of the market.
