in the field of domestic c-class sedans, bba is a brand standing at the center of the stage. however, with the rise of chinese automakers and the strong development of new energy vehicles, bba's c-class sedans are losing their former glory. according to media reports, xiaomi su7, a pure electric c-class sedan, has surpassed bba's three c-class sedans in monthly sales.

since its launch in march 2024, xiaomi su7 has been involved in many accidents. an insider of an insurance company said that xiaomi has only sold a few thousand units (actual insurance volume), but the accident rate is as high as 20%, reaching 1,074 units. as a result, the insurance company is under great pressure and is determined to adjust the premium of xiaomi su7 upwards.

recently, an 11-second video of xiaomi su7 catching fire went viral on the internet, sparking heated discussions among netizens.

the video shows a xiaomi su7 rushing onto the green belt beside the road. the body of the car is almost intact, the emergency lights at the rear of the car are flashing, and the bottom of the vehicle is on fire. white smoke is rising at the scene. the traffic police is using a fire extinguisher to put out the fire. a man in black is anxiously making a phone call nearby. from the video, there are no casualties.

a blogger analyzed that it was most likely that the vehicle hit the hard stone pier of the green belt and punctured the battery pack, and the puncture was very large, causing multiple cells to be damaged and short-circuited, thus causing the battery pack to catch fire. fortunately, the speed was not very fast, the car body was not deformed due to the accident, and the door could be opened normally, so there were no casualties.

xiaomi auto has not yet responded to the cause of the accident, so please refer to the official response.

>> netizens' opinions

isn't it said that the chassis can prevent collision? aren't steel columns also ok?

the cab didn't get burned at all for such a long time, the power was not cut off, the windows were lowered, and there was enough time to escape. the owner got out safely without any harm. it seems that the battery inversion technology mentioned by lei jun at the press conference is still quite useful.

the traffic police came over, which means the fire lasted for quite a long time! the owner got out of the car safely! the battery inversion technology is not to avoid fire, but to extend the rescue time!

fire is inevitable, it just depends on which family can buy as much time as possible to escape in the early stage of the fire.

the battery cell is facing downwards, and the location of the pressure relief valve is very sensitive to collision.

just such a small bump would have caused the car to catch fire. if the person had fainted, it would have been a disaster. fortunately, the car owner was conscious.
