And looking at those reviews, I'm very excited. We worked so hard for three years. I'm very happy to see such a good review. Looking back at three years ago when we made the announcement to enter the EV market, it was just like yesterday. At the time, I said this will be my last venture. I'm willing to bet my lifetime honor and achievement and go all in for Xiaomi EV. Saying this has given me great motivation and great pressure. For three years, we did our best every day under huge pressure, and I have realized that it's so hard to make a car. It's so hard that I didn't expect Apple to quit.
Today is an important day for Xiaomi EV and for myself. We have with us today some good friends: Li Bin, the founder of NIO; He Xiaopeng, the founder of XPeng; Li Xiang, founder of Li Auto, who have given us many suggestions in the last three years so that we can avoid so many traps. Heartfelt thanks to them. And I'm very honored to have with us a pioneer of our industry, Chairman of Great Wall Motors, a 30-year veteran of our industry. I admire him so much. And Zeng Yuqun, the chairman of CATL, and many other good friends. I will not read out their names one by one. A big thank you to them.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to Beijing first of all, because Beijing is home to Xiaomi. Beijing is home to Xiaomi EV. To all of our supporters, to our audience watching us online, and I would like to thank everyone at Xiaomi and the Xiaomi Group. Thank you so much. At this moment, I would like to share with you one quote: It's hard to make a car, but it's cool to succeed at it. Now I officially present you the Xiaomi SU7.
Our goal is to build a dream car in our time. A dream car must be equipped with the latest technology and the strongest driving performance, which are equally important. So we hope, off the bat, when we design the Xiaomi SU7, we want it to be the best-looking car, the easiest to drive, the smartest car priced under half a million, and it also needs to be a car of good quality. This is the dream car we built for our friends.
Our slogan for this car is 'Driving Forward.' Because on driver experience, we pursued driver-vehicle harmony: a car that knows you, that responds to you timely, accurately. And on driver and passenger experience, we want this car to understand you, understand your needs, your wants. We pursue driver-vehicle harmony. This is a full-size, high-performance, eco-technology sedan: 5 meters long, 2 meters wide, a wheelbase of 3 meters. It has an elegant and low stance, a very athletic look. I believe this is a timeless look.
The elegant stance is created with great proportion: a 3:2:1 tire size to wheelbase ratio, a 2:2:1 tire size to height ratio, a 1.36:1 width to height ratio. This look gives the car a very low drag coefficient at Cd 0.195, the best in class. With highly aerodynamic design, with eight air vents and 17 authentic aerodynamic vents. Last time we released three colors, people loved it. And now let's look at them again: Aqua Blue, Verdant Green, and Mineral Gray. Mineral Gray is a very, very premium color and popular with so many people.
A few days ago, our stores opened, and many say that the cars look better in person because the shape is so sleek and it doesn't look as good in pictures. So I invite you to take a look in store. And today we'll release six more colors.
Aren't they pretty? These six colors. So we release nine colors. They look great together. And let's have a look. These nine colors are divided into four color series: the first is Sports Car Color Series, second, Stylish Color Series, Premium Color Series, and Classic Color Series. We cater to different tastes of all customers. The color of a car is so important, and let me go through them one by one.
The first is Meteor Blue, and people call it Cream Blue online. It's a very soft, shallow blue, refreshing, relaxing, and healing color. Let's look at it from different angles. Looks quite good, right? Next, Radiant Purple. Purple is the color of romance and mystery. With a special formula metallic, it gives extra sparkle under the sun. It's stunning.
And how to present it? Not long ago, my alma mater Wuhan University's cherry blossom season arrived, and some suggested, how about we do a photo shoot at Wuhan University? This is the result. It's so pretty. And on the day of the shooting, some passersby saw the car and they took some photos, and it sparked a discussion online. So this color was designed for female customers, but I heard that many male customers are also very fond of it.
And I would also like to recommend another color to you: Bayshore Gray. Low-key, great texture, very upscale. Let's look at it from different angles. A very low-profile color. And we have a very bold color for you called Lava Orange. A highly saturated color, enthusiastic, energetic, very pretty. Because our logo is orange, so we offer all kinds of orange. Let's look at it from different angles. And the picture does not do it justice, so if you have the opportunity, please take a look in person.
In the exhibition hall, you have to be cool enough to drive such a color. The next one is Pearl White. It's not the ordinary white. We added pearl powder that creates dimension and depth. It's very comfy and very easy on the eye. Next, Diamond Black. It's not the usual black. We also added a metallic, so it's a mixture of black and deep blue. A very classy color. And that's why it's really a hard choice. But white and black are always safe choices.
I'd like to show you different angles. So these are the four color series and nine colors, with each color being unique and distinctive, and five of them are metallic. Speaking of this, many people love Aqua Blue. I'm very happy to hear that because this is way beyond my expectation. Usually, it's very rare for a passenger vehicle to use such a highly saturated color. It's usually reserved for a million-dollar luxury car because to make these colors long-lasting and fade-resistant for 20 years, it sets very high requirements for the process and it's very expensive. And that's why it's usually preserved for race cars.
And we have made great efforts to bring it to the SU7. We spend so much time and energy on developing each paint. It takes a dozen months and a lot of money to develop the paint. And I would like to tell you the whole development process, but that's the story for another time. So we also have four colors for the interior: the Galaxy Gray, Sunset Red, Mauve Purple, Obsidian Black. So four colors for interior, nine colors for exterior. So you can pick and choose to your own liking.
And let's look at the design details of the SU7. After we released the designs last time, people are very fond of the water drop headlights, halo tail lights, active rear spoiler, flowing curve, hidden door handle. Today, I'd like to tell you more about our water drop headlights. EVs today usually use split headlights, ultra-narrow headlights, all cookie-cutter designs. And when we design the SU7, we want a unique look. The water drop headlights have a very sleek shape. It blends in perfectly. So three years ago, we gave up on the split headlights plan. And the light actually looks just like a logo. And it shines a powerful beam far and wide across roads. It shines 400 meters ahead. That's 14 basketball courts put together. Its low beam shines very wide angle, 160 degrees. So it actually shines both far and wide. We also have ADB adaptive headlights, so we can automatically switch between high beam and low beam without blinding the other drivers. So it's a very useful function for evening driving.
And about wheels and tires, I realized the importance of them after I entered the EV market. The wheel size and design is a part of the look that highly determines the performance range of a car. So how can we provide the best tires and wheels? We have different sizes: it starts with 19-inch wheel, 19, 20, and 21. And we also have the low-drag wheel and three types of sport wheels. We have a wheel which looks like a seven, and also we have the multi-spoke sport wheel and plant blossom wheels. Also, we have four types of tires. For example, they are all from international brands. For example, we have the 19-inch Michelin low-rolling-resistance tires, and it costs about 5,000 to 6,000 even in Denmark. We also have the 19-inch Bridgestone comfort tire. We also have the 20-inch Michelin quiet tire; the tire noise is much smaller. Also, we have specially prepared for the people who pursue performance: we have prepared for them the P Zero tire from Pirelli to achieve the utmost performance. In order to make it more sporty, we also provide the narrow front, wide rear design. The rear is wider. The aim is to enhance the grip of the rear wheels to enhance the best dynamic performance. So we have made huge efforts in such kind of details.
Next, I want to introduce the interior design. We have the wrap-around cockpit. It's simple and classy, and the passenger space is very comfortable. In a video, I said that I am 1.81 meters, and everything that I'm bragging, and actually I'm not. And some people even got some pictures of me and Li Bin, and he looks taller than me. But I want to emphasize that I'm actually 1.81. So when we design the car, we use the 1.88-meter dummy for the design. You will not feel depressed in the front or rear seats. When we designed the vehicle, we designed the integrated sport-style seats, and we also adopted the high-density memory foam to ensure the comfort for short-range driving, and also you will not feel tired for the long-range driving. Also, we use the Nappa full-grain Nappa leather. It's very soft, it's very comfortable, and is skin-friendly. It is certified and also safe for the babies. They are very good materials.
We are equipped with a very good sound system. We have a 25-speaker sound system and support Dolby Atmos. And also, we have equipped the headrest speakers for all the models. So when you listen to the music, you will hear the navigation from the headrest speaker, and it will not disturb the other passengers in the vehicle. This is a very sweet design. We have a very big trunk, which is big enough for a whole set of camping equipment. We also have a very big front trunk. This size of front trunk only the most advanced dedicated EV platform can achieve. That it can contain 105 liters of things. So what can it be useful for? For example, you can put your takeaway there, and you can also put your fishing gear in the front trunk. It is very practical.
Apart from that, we have 32 storage spaces in the whole car. It's very exaggerated, right? I used to joke with them that the SU7 is a monster of storage. In the interest of time, I will just give you a few examples. We have lots of storage spaces. For example, when we released the picture, some people asked, what are the two rivets on the A-pillar platform for? Is that just for the forward-looking? Actually not. That is a dedicated standard M6 screw size, one on each side. And also, there's another one under the rearview mirror. There is also a charging space, and the rearview mirror is for the phone mount here. You can also install a GoPro here. So the media professionals, if you are interested in the SU7, actually we have a very good design for you.
And actually, lots of carmakers do not consider the phone mounts. I tested lots of phone holders, and they are not very good. So I tested for lots of times, and I said to myself that we need to make a very good phone mount. We also have two phone storage spaces at the central console supporting 50 watts of wireless fast charging. And also, we have a phone storage at the door of the front passenger seat, so you will not forget your phone when you get off the vehicle. Also, at the central console, we have two large cup holders. It's good enough for two large cups of coffee.
Then we have under the central console, there is a storage space for the flashlight. Here we have two hidden hooks. You can hang a plastic bag or your takeaway food. This flashlight is very practical. It is also a product from our company. I want to briefly introduce the flashlight. It is a glare flashlight; it goes very far. Also, it can also be a seatbelt cutter and a window breaker. So it is a power bank. So if you have that in your car, it would be very practical. Under the armrest box, there is a 4.6-liter space. It is within the reach of the passengers both at the front and the rear seats.
When we talk about the smart refrigerator, actually I had a car with a refrigerator. I used that one once and I just abandoned that because if you put one Coke inside, then when you make a turn, it wobbles. It's very annoying. So when we design the smart refrigerator, we have especially designed this anti-roll mat. No matter you put one can or three cans of Coke, it won't wobble. Also, I want to especially introduce this super extra-large glove box. We have some engineer users who like to take the laptop on a vehicle, and it's unsafe to put it in a car when you leave the car, and it's very troublesome to put it in a trunk. So we have this glove box; you can put the laptop here. That is very convenient. We also have lots of storage spaces. I will not go into the details. I think when we design a product, we do not design just for beauty or appearance; we also design for experience.
I want to give you an example. We designed this panoramic glass roof. It is very spacious, it looks very transparent, it's good-looking, and the glass area is up to 5.35 square meters. I want to make it very spacious. And then when we talk with the potential users, a female Tesla driver said, 'Well, it feels like an oven when you sit inside such kind of car. Wouldn't it be hot in summer?' Well, then we take this as a main pain point. How do we address that? The first thing we do is to make a double-layer silver plating for the panoramic glass roof with 99.9% of UV isolation, 99.1% of infrared isolation. And then we find another serious point is the front windshield. It's even much harder, and many female drivers will wear sun-block sleeves because it's pretty hard for the front windshield. So we used the three-layer silver plating to isolate 99.5% of the UV and 97.6% of infrared. This is the only car using three layers of silver plating. Also, we use the UV-coating for the windows of the four doors with the UV isolation rating 99.9%. If we translate that into the sunscreen cream, that is equivalent to SPF 100+ or PA++++. So that is highly sun-proof.
At the rear seat, we also designed the privacy glass. You do not need to do further tint work. Then how good is that in terms of the sun block? We made a test. We left the car in 38-degree sunshine for 90 minutes. It's a very common weather during the summertime in Beijing and now to say the southern cities of China. So we make a comparison with Model 3. Model 3 is like a global benchmark; it's outstanding. So we compare with Model 3. Can you imagine that after the test, we are 12 degrees cooler than Model 3? So you can also take a temperature gun with you to test. I was also amazed at that time. Within one and a half hours, the temperature becomes very hot. And I think the SU7 is not only good-looking, is it sun-proof? And we also have a separate ultra-thin panoramic glass roof sunshade, and we also have the sunshade for the front windshield. Do you think this is good enough? And some people may say that is not. So we have designed this outer sun visor blinds. Apart from that, we made the sunshade for the front windshield. They are of high quality and they are very easy to store. Then that is like an all-around protection.
Pretty soon we will enter summer. Many places in China are very hot, and people will bring sun umbrellas. After one or two months, in my hometown, we will enter the plum rain season, so there will be lots of rains. I do not like the umbrella and the water when we put that into the vehicles. So we have designed the umbrella storages at the front doors. It's very convenient. Also, we have the umbrella storages at the rear seats. So we have solved the sun-proof, we have solved the umbrella thing. This is the interior and exterior design of the Xiaomi SU7. We made a lot of efforts, and we are very delighted last year to have Mr. Chris Bangle to be our design consultant. He is the top 10 auto designer in the world, and he is the former vice president of design at BMW. I believe that having him as our design consultant, he will help us to move Xiaomi Auto to the next level. I would like to welcome Mr. Chris Bangle to the stage.

Chris Bangle29:12
Hi! Thanks. Welcome. Hi guys! Wow, hi. My name is Chris Bangle, and I'm super excited to be here at the very first Xiaomi EV launch event. Thank you very much for having me. This is really, really cool. Isn't that a great car? Is that a beautiful car? I mean, that was my first impression when I saw the Xiaomi SU7 was, 'Damn, what a great car.' You know, of all the products, I really like cars the best because I believe cars are more than just a tool to get you from A to B to move you. Cars are avatars, avatars of yourself. They represent who you are. And when I saw this Xiaomi SU7, that was my immediate thought: here is a car that a lot of people are going to identify with and say it's a wonderful expression of themselves. Beautiful. Now, it's not what I expected from Xiaomi because they're known for a design language which is very, very, very reserved and not emotional like this car. I've been to Xiaomi stores and I really like their products. They have a really calm, minimalist vibe. But cars, cars need to express movement, energy. And the SU7, with these well-defined curves and sculpted forms, this enters this whole new expression of boldness. And now this entry into sportiness, wow, that's fantastic. But still, it's packaged for a family and everyday use. I was really excited because it was so different from what I expected from Xiaomi and very impressive for their very first crack at a car. Well done. I had a lot of fun driving the SU7. And what impressed me was how powerful it was. The way it accelerated, wow, made me immediately call it, 'This is a rocket horse.' That was actually my expression: rocket horse. You know, horses are very powerful and very intelligent animals, and this car felt like that, but kind of to the power of 10. Rocket horse. You know, my wife likes horses. This car would be a great car to have back in Europe. Oh well, try. I think the recent European debut impressed many people that the Xiaomi SU7 is a wonderful example of the Chinese EV industry. It's a complete and visually stunning car. And I'm also confident that this marks an excellent beginning for the Xiaomi EV group, and I look forward to seeing them continue to push the boundaries and create future-ready masterpieces as they go forward. Congratulations, congratulations team. Thank you.

Thank you. For a car, we do not just want it to be good-looking, but also we want it to be drivable. I want to design a very drivable car. A drivable car means that when you drive it, it's a kind of enjoyment. Every time you step on the gas, every time you make a turn, every time you step on the brake, you can feel a strong sense of control, and the car can read your mind and take you to anywhere you want. For a good car, performance is the foundation. The Xiaomi SU7 has class-defining speed. How fast is that? We have 2.78 seconds of 0 to 100 km/h acceleration, is comparable to million-level luxury cars, and the max speed is up to 265 km/h. That is amazing. Also, we can also have the various speeds from 0 to 160, to 80, 80 to 120, and 120 to 160, and even 0 to 400 street dash. On every dimension, it has very strong performance. So for every dimension, we target ourselves at the top.
Wow, this is very exaggerated performance. That also owes to the dual motor and also the AWD. We have 673 horsepower and 838 Newton-meters of peak torque, and it is comparable to the 4.0 turbocharging V8 sports car. It owes that to the Xiaomi Hyper Motor, 21,000 RPM. So it is outstanding performance. Also, here I want to say that even under minus 5 degrees, the performance output is also very robust. We know that the electric vehicles are highly influenced by the temperature. For example, Model 3 Performance, the 0 to 100 acceleration is reduced. But for us, we maintained the very good 0 to 100 acceleration. That also owes to the low-temperature high-power battery. So in the winter time, the performance is not compromised. Apart from the performance, we also have very good driver's experience. We have dedicated design for the drivers. For example, the steering wheel, the seats, the dashboards, and the HUD are all central-axle asymmetric. And also, we have very good grip for the steering wheel. We have two physical buttons: one button to start autopilot and another button to start the boost mode. So it's very easy to drive. And to make it easier to drive, even though we have so many buttons, we still keep the physical buttons. In addition, we provide the 7.1-inch rotating display. So when it rotates, you feel a feeling of ceremony. And in this car, what I think I did really well is a super big 56-inch HUD. Why I want to emphasize on HUD? Because several of my cars have HUD. If it's not adjusted well, it can be very annoying. Sometimes I had to turn off the HUD. Sometimes I even feel it is such an unnecessary function. That's why we have made a lot of efforts to adjust and tune HUD to make sure the display and screen is very clear. That's why we provided 56-inch HUD. Last time when driving from Shanghai to Beijing, the first experience I got was, 'It's a really big HUD.' What we did is we have a 7.7-meter focus distance, and it is able to adjust the brightness and intensity of lights. The comparison is 1,500 to 1 contrast ratio, and the brightness is 13,000 nits. The driving sensation is very well. And even on the driver's seat, we have the proactive seat booster. It means that when you're making a turn, it's able to inflate proactively to give you a good support. It's only a configuration that comes with a luxury car, but with this, you can feel that it has a very good...
Support and apart from all the good configurations, we have made a lot of efforts on the driving sensations. Today, the mechanical part of our vehicles is already mature, but with the sense of all, we started to build a team of experts and focusing on underlying core technology. We built Moda architecture in our smart chassis. We are leading the industry, and all of the suppliers in the smart chassis are well-known suppliers in the industry. All of them are very well known, as well as the control algorithms of the smart chassis, combining smart with driving seamlessly. And how well do our chassis perform? We have invited our media friends to do a test drive, and their comment is it is very easy to drive. The chassis tuning is excellent, and they say there must be some gurus in Xiaomi. Now let's check out the test drive videos of our media friends.
And another comment from them is they say the driving sensation is very well. And what are the high-quality parts? First, they say it's very highly responsive, meaning it responds quickly to one step. So even for the base model, even in normal city roads, just one simple step on the paddle, you feel the responsive steering experience. We know that Model 3 has a really good responsive experience, but we also provide a very good responsive experience. And second is precise steering, especially when you change lanes at medium to high speeds, it responds to your lane changing and steering very quickly. And third, in terms of tuning, when they are providing you with road information, actually a really good car retains the feel of the road while just getting rid of the bumping. The red/orange line curve shows the bumping of the road, and the green one shows how people feel. That's why we say that you feel it's a very smooth driving experience. In addition, in the split second before you brake, there is a smooth touch to how the brakes are applied, so the braking is also smooth. The turning radius is only 5.7 meters, and for this full-size high-performance sedan, it is very flexible for such a size of a sedan. So you can check it out yourself during the test drive. In addition, it's also very fun to drive around. Let's check out the other functions. First, we have the launch control. It's able to provide you with a very good sensation. It's a very good, it's a very good foot feeling. Second, there is a booster mode. It delivers the maximum power output within 20 seconds. In addition, we also provided the sports sound system, so it is also giving you a very sporty car feeling and sensations when you drive. We created a set of 110 tracks. At start, I thought it was easy, but then it turns out to be difficult. Let's hear it. So it gives a very sporty feel. In addition, we also have some self-defined driving mode. It is able to simulate the driving modes of classic cars, and you can easily set it to drifting mode. And what is a drifting mode? That is when you turn off the traction control of the vehicle stabilization system, and all power output is transferred to the rear wheels. Now you have a rear-wheel drive with great horsepower. Now let's check the video.
Isn't this awesome? I actually have learned drifting myself. Next time I can show you my drifting skill, but I'm not that good yet, so don't laugh at me. So if I say SU7 is a very drivable car, it doesn't really do it justice. So you should check it out and do a test drive yourself. Next thing, for an EV, the range is a very important topic for the electric cars. And for all models, we have a long range. Just as I've mentioned in Wuhan yesterday, we start at 700 kilometers. Even this is in the CTC mode, we have 700 kilometers. We know that the range of EVs vary from various factors. For example, the temperature. Second is if it's on the highway, because the speed has a lot to do with the range. And third is also about your driving habits. If you hit on the paddle more quickly and aggressively, it also reduces the range. That's why we say if you hit the brakes more smoothly, it saves the range. But our range guarantees that you only need to charge one time for one week for commute. And recently we did a test in Guangzhou. So this is our base model, and we have the 700 kilometers, and this is what people call the entry level. And we do it on the highway at 120 km/h. The average speed is around 97 km/h, but because sometimes there's a traffic jam, it's kept at 110 or 120. And in this speed, the final result is 495, but guaranteed is at least 4 to 5 hours on the highway. So last year, at the end of last year, our range was 668, but now it changed to 700 kilometers. Maybe people will wonder why the change, but just through three months, we have a big jump. We know we've noticed that people have a really strong desire for long range. That's why we have equipped Ming low-drag hubcaps, and we have updated our advertisement. So in this way, you are able to have all of the Ming wheel hubcaps and have the 700 range. This is the work we do. I believe that, so in the future, if there are anything you feel we can do better, please let us know. How do we compare this base model with Model 3? Our range increased by 133 kilometers. So for some car factories, even if it's just increased by 100 kilometers range, the price will jump significantly. But we also increase drastically as well, and also the voltage. So this is what people are really curious about. But when we talk about price, we also have to talk about the configurations, right? Otherwise, it's meaningless. Sometimes the cars are cheap, but they only have 400 range. But we start at 700 range. That's why I have to emphasize range. Range is the most expensive configuration for the EV, because even one volt or even one kilometer, it means a big difference in the price. But luckily, we didn't start at that era. We didn't have to buy coal or cobalt in South Africa. But recently, of course, the price in batteries has dropped a little bit, but it still accounts for 30 to 35% of the total cost. So out of other voltages, one volt means a lot of big difference in the cost. And that's why if you want to have a good range, you either have to invest the big money, burn the money, or you have to invest in the technology. So we invested in technology as well as in the money. So first, we have to have a very low drag coefficient, and we have the whole body silicon carbonate lightweight, and we have really excellent heat management. We also have low-drag hubcaps, so we have done excellent work in each of it. But I have done test drives many times myself. I think there are still lots of ways to be improved and updated. Range is really important for the EV. Of course, I know there will still be factors to be improved and to be updated, but I believe range really represents the core technology of the EV. This is our high-end model. We know that good performance means a big drain on the battery. So for this model, our range is 810 kilometers. So in the four-wheel cars and all the high-performance four-wheel cars, the performance is leading the industry. So I have to, I got to say, leading the industry. So for the 0 to 100 acceleration under 3 seconds and the range over 800 meters, Xiaomi SU7 is the only one. Apart from the long range, we also have fast charging. And how do we do in fast charging? We have the home across the home models, silicon carbonate. We have the compressor and the charger, all of them are silicon carbonate. And we have the 800-volt high-power platform. Here I have to emphasize that sometimes when it's over 550, people say it's 800, but we really go over 800. We reached 871 volts. But here we continued to do technological improvements. The whole charging is automated charging technology, and it's able to further improve the charging time. So in 15 minutes, we are able to charge 52 kilometers. So just in 15 minutes is enough to last you for 500 kilometers. And for our base model, we use 486 volts and the 400-volt platform. For this model, it is able to charge 350 km in 15 minutes. If we compare with Model 3, we are 100 km more. In all the technological factors, we reached the best. Now talking about charging stations, we know that 90-95% of them are public charging stations. So the first thing we want to do is that it has to be compatible. It has to have a high compatibility. So for this, it's actually more problematic than you imagine. And in order to do a good job, we have done it in over 300 cities, and we tested 148 different companies and tested 2,000 stations. In total, we tested 70,000 times of the charging stations. We also helped the charging station to solve more than 500 problems. And while we were doing this, we have experienced that we improve the overall charging experience for the industry. For example, for the most common public charging station, our voltage is much higher than Model 3. And this is an authoritative certification body reviews, and they say it shows that the compatibility is more than 99%. And some of the competitors may be less than 90%. It means every 10 times you charge, there will be one time that is not compatible. So we are the most compatible one in the market. Of course, we also provide, we also prepared home charging stations, 11 kilowatts. We also have a manufacturer, we also have prepared Xiaomi home power exchange adapter, supports 2.8 kilowatts, as well as to discharge the power. And what's used for the discharge? So for example, when you go camping, your car is able to provide the power. Now we're building our supercharging station with 600 kilowatts of liquid cooling solution. Now we're rolling out in Beijing, Shanghai, and Hangzhou as we start shipping. We're stepping up on our charging network. And I've talked about the best looking, the easiest to drive, but the best about SU7 is the smart ecosystem. Speaking of smart cars, my understanding is that car smart and EV in the last three years, the highest barriers is in the EV. But the next decade, the biggest problem is about how to be smart. And I cannot stress more, the future competition lies in smartness, which is our strong suit. With 14 years of experience in smartphones, we will apply the experience and expertise we accumulated on our EV. And our car EV smart ecosystem will seamlessly connect devices in the ecosystem. And smartness is a strength of our EV. And I would like to talk about it in four aspects. First, smart driving. In the last launch event, I talked about the algorithm and Xiaomi autopilot. Today, we want to tell you about our investment on our autopilot. We're very committed. So the team now is about 1,000 people, and by the end of the year, we will exceed 1,500. And by the end of this year, we will enter the first tier of car makers. We have two models: the Xiaomi Pilot Pro and Xiaomi Pilot Max. And Pro is a purely visual solution, while Max is vision plus LiDAR. Well, Tesla uses pure visual solution, but in China, because of the lag, we actually have to do two solutions in parallel. Maybe in the future, we'll all enter the pure visual solution stage. Here I want to tell you, we do two solutions. We follow several principles. First, same technology for various configurations, so it is available across all models. Because I don't think any company can actually maintain two solutions. So usually they would do the higher-end model themselves and leave the lower model, base model, to OEMs. But OEMs will have a hard time catching up with the latest technology. And there are six, seven players in this area. If you are fully committed to smart strategy, this is also the future competition priority. And both models use the Orin platform, 11 HD cameras, and full-stack self-developed algorithm. In the last three years, we have built our in-house testing fleet with a total testing mileage of over 10 million kilometers, and our simulation capability exceeds 250 million kilometers. People set high standards for us. We want to debut our car with the greatest user experience. So we provide an autopilot package across all models, and the highway NOA will be delivered upon launch. And now the highway NOA has been tested in 300 cities and will be very available across the country. And we support auto parking, and autopilot is available to all models. And in every city, we tested the auto parking, all kinds of parking slots in the underground parking lot. The completion rate is over 95%. And all models are equipped with ultrasonic car location technology, even when there are narrow edges, and it's end-to-end sensing, completely different from the previous algorithm, even when parking in challenging scenarios. So we're the only one adopting such a technology in this class. Now competition is heating up on City NOA, and I'd like to tell you about our progress. And we have invited media friends for our NOA testing. And in April, we'll start the user testing, and in May, we'll roll out in 10 cities. In August, we'll roll out nationwide. Those test drive videos will soon be available, and let's look at our internal road test video.
So I hope during your test drive you give City NOA a try. I would like to briefly talk about the smart cabin. There are five screens in total: the central touchscreen, the HUD, and two tablets in the back seats. So five screens interconnected. Let's look at each of them. There's a 16.1-inch 3K HD screen powered by Snapdragon 8295, and this is the best car chip in the market. Very smooth operation. And last time I told you about the screen, we selected an ultra-large tablet for it because we want to improve the compatibility with the apps. When you make display screens in all sizes, it actually creates huge challenge to the apps ecosystem. So with 10 years of experience in tablet making, we make it a standardized tablet. So all apps are available on this tablet. Let's show you a small demo. Open the spoiler. What you see is what you get. Just one click, you can open the spoiler, open the boot, turn on the AC. The whole system is very smooth. And the vehicle adopts a flexible framework, which you can move around and resize apps to your liking. Smartphone-car interconnectivity is also one of our strong suits. When your phone is brought into the cabin, the console automatically displays an icon. You can open the phone's interface with a single touch. And with one touch, your interface can go full screen. Say you're watching a movie or a film, with one touch, you can watch it on the big touchscreen. Enjoy immersive film experience in the car. Your favorite smartphone apps can be pinned to the car's infotainment system for future use. They run just like in-car native apps. It's the best about this OS that it really considers the compatibility of software ecosystem. And there are many other functions I don't have time to tell you about. Next is car-home interconnectivity. How your car interacts with your home. You can get your car ready with a voice in summer before you leave your home. You can tell your car to turn on the AC. And we have added voice print recognition to limit the access so that your kids cannot mess around in your car. Through media, you can control your home smart devices. You can remotely control your camera to check your home. When your doorbell rings, you can get a notification. With one click, you can talk to the person and receive your delivery when you drive into the compound. The home scenario is activated. Your home and car are connected. Similar, there are many other scenarios. Let's look at rear displays. It's just a Xiaomi tablet, but this is redesigned, repurposed for SU7. The 6S Pro 3K high-def screen powered by Gen 2 Snapdragon processor. And there's a three-pin location, and we have also designed a back seat holder set. I would like to tell you about the ecosystem. When the tablet is mounted, it's a part of the vehicle OS. The rear passenger can easily adjust the front seat, can push it forward. And the rear passenger can set navigation destination or add destinations or check live traffic. When listening to music, both screens can sync lyrics, so it's great for karaoke. We have made a karaoke microphone. When you have your kids at the back, from the touchscreen, you can select movies, animations for your kids. So we have designed a complete interaction between different screens. Next, XiaoAI voice assistant, one of the earliest voice assistants in China. Now we have mostly active users over 100 million. It wakes up 200 million times a day, so it has a great fundamental capability. And let's look at how XiaoAI controls the car. First of all, let's see how it rolls down the window. Pretty easy, right? Let's see how it controls the rearview mirror and adjusts HUD. So there are great functions. Another fun function: when you drive past the parking lot to pay, when everyone's fumbling to find their phone, you can have your QR code ready with your voice. Very useful function. XiaoAI is also good at giving you instructions about the car. If you don't know how to use a launch mode, you can just ask her. She would teach you how to use launch mode. In the cabin, we allow voice interaction from every seat. Even when you sit in the middle of the back seat, XiaoAI can answer you and interact with you accurately. XiaoAI has adopted large language model. We developed our 1.3B language model. And what's the use case? The most often demo is this. And once you buy SU7, you can paint this blue and white porcelain for your car. But why do we need this? For driving, you can just do it on your phone. So we believe that the large language model needs to be combined with the multimodal sensing. It needs to understand the location, direction of the car, and all the cameras need to be connected and to engage in the large language model. And that makes XiaoAI smarter. To give you another example, when you're about to enter a tunnel, you can ask XiaoAI. When you're on a road trip, you can ask about what's the river's name you just drove past. And a more often asked question. Right, that's how we combine the sensing capability and large language model. At the current stage, people are trying to use large language model for more use cases to solve real problems. We have prepared a video to tell you its full capability.
XiaoAI is getting smarter by the day. Our human-car-home ecosystem is very powerful. The central touchscreen is expandable in all four directions. You can add physical buttons. It's connected magically and by screws. You can adjust AC or other common functions. And the knob in the middle is for volume. It also supports NFC. When you tap your phone at the knob, it connects to the car Wi-Fi automatically. You can also add intelligent gauges to show time, speed, and range. When it interacts with XiaoAI, it responds with vivid emoticons. Very playful. And we also have wireless charging phone holder, which is connected to the smart cabin. If you forget your phone in the car, it will remind you. And you can also install ambient light. It can change with the rhythm of the music, so you feel very artistic. Also under the touchscreen, we can also make it expandable. Here you can pull it and to put all kinds of devices. The charging is automatic and the magnet section here. You can also have a smart walkie-talkie set, and you can charge the walkie-talkie, and it can be connected to the steering wheel, and you can just talk to the steering wheel. You do not need to talk to the walkie-talkie anymore. Also, it can charge the walkie-talkie. So just in case. For this charging space, you can also charge the flashlights we have mentioned before, and this is the function we have provided. We can also put the walkie-talkie here. Here we can also put the smart aroma diffuser set. We can have three perfume sticks, five different concentrations, and it costs 399 RMB. Also, you can put an outdoor Bluetooth speaker here. It has very good audio effect, and it is tuned by Harman Kardon. It is very good for camping. Here inside, there is the ambient light, and it is magnetic section here. It can be fixed to the car or to your tent. We also have other car lot equipment. I would like to give you a few examples. For example, the child seat. If the seat belt is not fastened for the child seat, then there will be a reminder at the touchscreen because it's connected to the whole car IoT system. The whole car is very intelligent. We also designed very high-quality commodities. For example, we have the very soft, very comfortable headrest, and also we have the storage box for the trunk and the front trunk. Also, the front trunk has similar storage spaces. In our app, we have very diversified niche ecosystem. In the interest of time, I will not cover them all. You can go through them one by one in the app. So ecosystem is a very good weapon for us. Last time I talked about a topic that Apple has given up car making, and I think it's okay because we support the Apple ecosystem, and we can provide very good experience for the Apple users. So that is a very generous attitude from our company. We support the wireless CarPlay. We support the iPad. So we support the Apple ecosystem, and all the Apple users can feel the ecosystem. Smart and ecosystem are core competitiveness. I would like to play a video for you.
