When the Xiaomi SU7 was released, it caused a sensation on social media. Apart from the price, the eye-catching supercar design became the hottest topic. Looking back at the last time a pure electric car became popular due to its appearance, it was the BYD Song L, known as the “most beautiful hunting SUV,” which ignited the trend of national aesthetics. It cannot be denied that “appearance” is one of the important reasons for consumers to buy a car, as everyone wants their ride to be the most stylish. So, when it comes to the two most discussed pure electric cars in terms of appearance, the Song L and the Xiaomi SU7, how do you choose? Here is my clear answer: unless you have a lot of money to spend on a car as a social toy, it is recommended to choose the top student – the Song L, which excels in appearance, space, handling, and features.

Exterior: Luxurious imitation vs. domestic pioneer, design quality differs greatly Xiaomi SU7 and Song L both look handsome, one imitates the Porsche TAYCAN, emphasizing “extreme flamboyance”; the other emphasizes “moderation”, pioneering without being eccentric, individualistic without being niche. In terms of catching the eye, both are equally eye-catching, but in terms of aesthetic practicality, Song L excels.
Xiaomi SU7, Xiaomi’s first car, like a child who grew up eating a variety of foods, samples excellent design and interprets the low-profile streamline very well, paying tribute to Taycan everywhere. However, this advantage is limited to the visual level, it can be said to be “high imitation but not high-end”.
Song L is a B-class pioneer hunting SUV launched by BYD for the mainstream high-end market. It has been hailed as the “most beautiful hunting SUV” since its debut, with a 100% original avant-garde aesthetic design. With CTB battery body integration technology, Song L has more adjustment space for vertical space and chassis height, creating a unique high posture and good spatial effect typical of SUVs. It also features luxury car standard equipment such as front narrow and rear wide tires, hidden door handles, frameless doors, and double-layer laminated glass, balancing aesthetics and functionality. In terms of interior design, while Xiaomi SU7 is minimalist, Song L emphasizes comfort and luxury. The two vehicles show clear differences, with Xiaomi SU7 taking a minimalist approach and Song L exuding a luxurious feel, creating a visual contrast between industrial roughness and luxury refinement.

The cabin of the Song L is both functional and visually appealing, with a 10.25-inch full LCD instrument panel and a 15.6-inch central control screen setting the technological standard. The large area of suede leather brings excellent texture, and the material mix creates more depth in a non-clashing design. The crystal-cut gear lever, well-damped physical buttons, and understated matte coating all meet Chinese expectations for high-end products. In addition, the 12-speaker HiFi custom Dynaudio sound system and interactive ambient lighting, along with sport seats, further enhance the exclusive high-end atmosphere of the Song L SUV, reshaping people’s expectations and perceptions of this price range of vehicle models. Space: Song L SUV surpasses low-slung coupes in space In short, the space in the Xiaomi SU7 does not reach the level of a “BMW 5 Series” as advertised. More importantly, typical issues of high-floor affecting legroom, lack of space under the front seats, cramped headroom, and non-adjustable rear backrest angle seen in most fastback electric cars are all present in the Xiaomi SU7.

The Song L, as a B-class SUV, prioritizes elegant styling while also considering space and comfort. With a height of 1560mm, it surpasses the Xiaomi SU7’s 1455mm. The Song L offers adjustable front and rear seat back angles, providing overall comfort. Additionally, the Song L’s rear seats can be folded down in a 4:6 ratio, expanding the front and rear trunk volumes to 1101L, making it a great choice for families. In conclusion, when purchasing a car, it is essential to consider core technologies and craftsmanship in addition to price. The Song L, built on BYD’s star technology e-platform 3.0 with core technologies like CTB and Cloud-Drive C, offers both beauty and quality in the B-class pure electric SUV segment. It is no surprise that its cumulative sales have exceeded 34,000 units in less than 4 months due to its undeniable quality and value. On the other hand, the Xiaomi SU7 may have many orders, but a 40% cancellation rate is concerning. Delivery delays and potential issues with after-sales service due to fewer service centers make it a less wise choice for a budget of over 200,000 yuan (27630$). If you are looking for a B-class car that meets mainstream demands and offers a luxurious experience, the Song L is undoubtedly the better choice.
