Xiaomi wanted to move the limits of his new model with a 24 -hour endurance test. The brand took the opportunity to create a new record, one more on the YU7 list!
A few weeks ago he organized the most difficult endurance race in the world: 24 hours of Le Mans. It is particularly difficult to have the performance of the vehicle in such a long test. Although Xiaomi did not participate in such events, the brand organized its own 24 -hour test to challenge its new model: Xiaomi Yu7.
The result of this challenge was presented from the Conference of 26 June, which is dedicated to its new vehicles. However, the result was relatively unnoticed, overshadowed by attractive prices and command records. However, this show is not interested, especially because Xiaomi, Lei Jun, called on other manufacturers to do better.
What is this 24 -hour endurance?
The perimeter is Yancheng’s speed ring (Chinese research and automobile technology center) and there is no other competitor on the track. However, it should not be believed that the test is less demanding on the mechanics of the serial vehicle, especially for an electric car, which must be able to maintain high performance and rapid recharge without interruption.
The test was carried out with Xiaomi Yu7 Max. This is the strongest decline with 508 kW of top -of -the -line strength. This model also has the advantage of offering fast recharging from 10 to 80 % in 12 minutes, which is a shortened time that is a difference in this challenge. Although autonomy is smaller and consumption higher than the standard YU7 with 835 km autonomy, it was the best version for such an event.
Objective: Using most kilometers in 24 hours including recharging. Therefore, it requires a vehicle that rolls strong and without loss of energy, which requires excellent heat control of the battery, both to maintain power and to ensure rapid recharge. The 800V platform is also a necessary element to achieve this result.
A new record of 3,944 km
Xiaomi is not the first to deal with this record. Porsche has already launched this challenge in 2019 with its prototype Taycan. The vehicle then traveled 3,425 km in 24 hours on the Ring Nardo in Italy. Mercedes also tried the adventure in 2024 with its future duty and broke the previous record with 3,717 km. Xiaomi managed to approve his attempt with a new key in the key: 3 944 km. Who will be the next?
Remember some characters:
- 30 cash on delivery was necessary
- Between 10 to 20 minutes of voltage
- 164 km/HV diameter by incorporating charging
- On average over 200 km/h while driving and up to 210 km
Of course, it is difficult to compare this test in a real Le Mans test for 24 hours with its race, weather and strategy. Distance has nothing to do: winners now exceed 5,000 km in 24 hours (the record in 2010 is 5 410 km). Remember, however, that it is a serial model sold for less than 40,000 euros, which is able to travel almost 4,000 km per day, while respecting recharging limitations of 101.7 kWh battery. It’s a good base.
Another (unlikely) comparison of 24 hours in actual conditions
On the Youtubeur Electric Vince initiative, a unique 24 -hour event took place in France. 11 crews and 33 drivers embarked into 100 % of the electric endurance race on the Open Road. Each team chose their model and strategy: highway or secondary roads, short but repeated fees or big recharge …
The vehicles were classified into two categories depending on whether they have a 400 V platform or 800 V. The winning crew of these 24 hours in real conditions produced 2,510 km in Porsche Taycan (800 V). It is also a good way to test vehicles and definitely sweep the idea that electric vehicles are not made for long trips.
