Xiaomi Forms Safety Advisory Committee After Deadly SU7 Crashes

The move follows forensic reports on door failures in a fatal SU7 crash, with rising calls for stronger safeguards.

Overview

  • Xiaomi will hold regular sessions with owners, media and experts to gather safety input, with the first slated for the first half of the year.
  • The company highlighted a 3,500-strong safety organization that includes an Accident Investigation Center.
  • Production of the first-generation SU7 has ended, and an upgraded model with a backup door power supply is scheduled to launch in April.
  • A Caixin-cited forensic report on an October crash said a power loss left the SU7’s electronic doors inoperable, while official findings and a separate assisted-driving case remain under investigation.
  • Pressure increased as Yicai urged a recall of first-generation SU7s and regulators set a 2027 requirement for mechanical interior and exterior door releases.
