Recently, a video titled "WhenXiaomi SU7Hit a carZeekr007" has sparked widespread controversy on the Internet. In this incident, a car blogger showed the collision process of Xiaomi SU7 and Zeekr 007 through a video, and claimed that the positive power cable of the battery was knocked off. However, this statement has aroused doubts from netizens, who believe that the statement is inaccurate, causing confusion and misleading content. Subsequently, the blogger released an apology and clarification video, admitting that there are problems with the statement, and explaining the test process and results in detail. Coincidentally, the time when this video was released was exactly the time of Zeekr's new car launch.

It is true that many users will be confused about whether to buy Xiaomi SU7 or Zeekr 007 when buying a car, so the blogger will take these two cars for testing. The two cars are evenly matched in terms of performance, configuration and brand influence, so let's compare the two cars objectively today.

The prices of the 25 Zeekr 007 two-wheel drive versions have been reduced by 20,000 yuan, while the prices of the four-wheel drive performance version and the four-wheel drive intelligent driving version have been reduced by 30,000 yuan. The entry threshold has been reduced from being higher than that of Xiaomi SU7 to being 6,000 yuan cheaper, so the cost-effectiveness is higher.

In terms of body size, the 2025 Zeekr 007 is 4865/1900/1450mm in length, width and height respectively, with a wheelbase of 2928mm, and is positioned as a mid-size sedan. The Xiaomi SU7 is 4997/1963/1455mm in length, width and height respectively, with a wheelbase of 3000mm.

In comparison, Xiaomi SU7 has a larger overall size and wheelbase, but it is lighter, with a curb weight of 1980kg, while Zeekr 007 is 2150kg. However, Zeekr 007 adopts a fastback design and adds a fold line to the C-pillar, which optimizes the headroom for rear passengers, while Xiaomi SU7 has a relatively narrow headroom for rear passengers due to its fastback shape.

In terms of interior, the 2025 Zeekr 007 has basically not changed, with a double-spoke multi-function steering wheel, a 13-inch full LCD instrument panel, a 15.05-inch sunflower central control screen and an electronic hand-shift gearshift. The overall design is relatively simple. The car is still equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip, but the ZEEKR OS AI system has been upgraded to make it smarter.

The Xiaomi SU7's central control screen is larger at 16.1 inches, while the full LCD instrument panel is smaller at 7.1 inches. The Xiaomi SU7 is equipped with the Xiaomi Pengpai OS operating system, which can realize a shared ecosystem from hardware to software. Interactivity and ecological connection are the significant advantages of the Xiaomi SU7. The Xiaomi SU7 also has better storage space and details, such as 3 USB ports in the front row.

Let's first look at the entry-level versions of the two cars in terms of power. The 2025 Zeekr 007 rear-wheel drive enhanced version has a maximum motor power of 310kW, a total torque of 440N•m, a CLTC pure electric range of 688km, and an acceleration time of 0-100km/h of 5.1s. The basic version of Xiaomi SU7 also provides a rear single motor with a maximum power of 220kW, a total torque of 400N•m, a CLTC pure electric range of 700km, and an acceleration time of 0-100km/h of 5.28s. Zeekr 007 has stronger power, but it also sacrifices some range.

In addition, the Zeekr 007 can also add an extra 20,000 yuan to get the 870 long-range version with a larger 100kWh battery capacity. In addition, there is also a dual-motor option with a maximum power of 475 kW, a range of 616 km, 770 km, and 660 km, and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 3.6s and 2.84s respectively.

The rest of the Xiaomi SU7 versions, the MAX version is equipped with a front induction asynchronous + rear permanent magnet synchronous motor, with a maximum power of 495kw, a maximum torque of 838 Nm, a battery capacity of 101kWh, a CLTC range of 800km, and an acceleration time of 0-100km/h of 2.78s. The Pro version is equipped with a rear permanent magnet synchronous motor, with a maximum power of 220kw and a maximum torque of 400 Nm. The battery capacity is 94.3kWh, the CLTC range is 830km, and the acceleration time of 0-100km/h is 5.7s. In addition, both cars can achieve 800V, but the Xiaomi SU7 only has the top version, while the Zeekr 007 is 800V for the entire series.

In terms of assisted driving, the 2025 Zeekr 007 series is equipped with Haohan Intelligent Driving 2.0 as standard, and dual NVIDIA DRIVE Orin-X chips as standard, with a computing power of 508TOPS. It supports high-speed and urban ZAP based on map-free technology, and has added new functions such as remote fingertip parking, memory parking, and automatic parking in mechanical parking spaces.

In contrast, the Xiaomi SU7 is equipped with the XiaomiPilot Pro intelligent driving system, and the mid-range and top-end models are equipped with Hesai's 128-line laser radar. The intelligent driving chip uses the previous generation of Orin chips, and the mid-range and top-end models are equipped with 2 chips. The basic version is not equipped with the city NOA function, but retains the basic high-speed NOA function, and only uses the relatively low-performance Orin N platform chip with a computing power of 84TOPS. If you want to have intelligent driving assistance functions like the entry-level version of Zeekr 007, the Xiaomi SU7 needs to choose to upgrade to the Pro version priced at 245,900 yuan.

In conclusion:

Zeekr 007 is more cost-effective now, and the entry-level version has more comprehensive configuration, more assisted driving functions, and supports 800V for the entire series. The advantages of Xiaomi SU7 are the smart car-home ecological experience, larger front and rear trunk volumes, and some details and layouts in the car are more user-friendly, with better storage space and details.
