However, as features unfold, the conversation has turned to concerns regarding its braking system. While many appreciate its \u00a0performance\u00a0, the reality behind its brake specifications raises eyebrows, leading some to question whether the vehicle\u2019s design leans more towards \u00a0aesthetics\u00a0 than functionality.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 1 --><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-asset article-asset-normal article-asset-center\">\n<div class=\"desvio-container\">\n<div class=\"desvio\">\n<div class=\"desvio-figure js-desvio-figure\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Shocking Discoveries: The Size of Brake Pads<\/h2>\n<p>Insider investigations reveal that the brake pads utilized in the Xiaomi Su7 Ultra are \u00a0significantly smaller\u00a0 than one might expect for a vehicle boasting nearly \u00a0700 horsepower\u00a0. The disassembly of the brake system unveiled that the brake pads are only marginally larger than those of a \u00a0Seat Ateca\u00a0, raising questions about their capability to handle such power and weight.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 2 --><\/p>\n<p>The \u00a0overwhelming size\u00a0 of the brake housing does not equate to the actual efficiency or power of the brakes. This realization has left many enthusiasts wondering if the design is merely for \u00a0show\u00a0, as experts from <a rel=\"noopener, noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.motorpasion.com\/coches-electricos\/grandes-aguantan-uso-enormes-pinzas-freno-xiaomi-su7-yu7-esconden-discos-pastillas-frenos-apenas-grandes-que-seat-ateca\" target=\"_blank\">Motorpasion<\/a> emphasize, &#8220;There is more decorative clamp than real braking power.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 3 --> <\/p>\n<h2>Overheating: A Major Concern<\/h2>\n<p>Instances of \u00a0overheating\u00a0 have surfaced involving test drives of the Xiaomi Su7 Max, which uses a similarly designed braking system. During a circuit test, driver \u00a0Tang Zhu Liao Che\u00a0 found himself short on brake performance, leading to a harrowing encounter with barriers due to brake failure caused by excessive heat.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 4 --><\/p>\n<p>Another alarming event was reported at the \u00a0Tianjin V1 circuit\u00a0 where the brake pads reached temperatures exceeding \u00a0600 degrees\u00a0, resulting in complete brake failure and even igniting a fire. Such incidents shine a light on the \u00a0serious safety risks\u00a0 associated with inadequate brake sizing for a high-performance vehicle.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 5 --><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-asset article-asset-normal article-asset-center\">\n<div class=\"desvio-container\">\n<div class=\"desvio\">\n<div class=\"desvio-figure js-desvio-figure\">\n     <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Xiaomi Su7 Ultra Resale Value\" width=\"375\" height=\"142\" src=\"https:\/\/teknomers.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Their-brakes-have-a-strong-presence-but-lack-effectiveness.jpeg\"\/>\n   <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Size vs. Performance: A Critical Shortcoming<\/h2>\n<p>The feedback from early users leads many to question: can these brakes truly maintain integrity under extreme conditions? Critics argue that the brakes are insufficient for a vehicle weighing over \u00a02 tons\u00a0 and designed for high-speed circuit-style driving.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 6 --><\/p>\n<p>Xiaomi\u2019s promotion of the Su7 Ultra as a premier \u00a0track-ready vehicle\u00a0 further compounds these concerns. While it is equipped with \u00a0Brembo brakes\u00a0, the size of those breaks appears to contradict the marketing narrative. A smaller disc size inherently raises the likelihood of overheating, which can severely compromise braking performance during rigorous use.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 7 --><\/p>\n<h2>Style Over Substance: A Pattern?<\/h2>\n<p>This is not the first time Xiaomi has mixed \u00a0form with function\u00a0 poorly. Earlier, it surfaced that the cosmetic modifications, including a sporty hood that touted \u00a0aerodynamic benefits\u00a0, had no practical effect on vehicle performance. Buyers expressed frustrations concerning deceptive advertising, pushing the company to withdraw these features from future orders.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 8 --><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-asset article-asset-normal article-asset-center\">\n<div class=\"desvio-container\">\n<div class=\"desvio\">\n<div class=\"desvio-figure js-desvio-figure\">\n     <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Xiaomi vs Porsche\" width=\"375\" height=\"142\" src=\"https:\/\/teknomers.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1757610606_659_Xavier-Martinet-CEO-of-Hyundai-Europe-addresses-the-upcoming-challenge.jpeg\"\/>\n   <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Xiaomi&#8217;s Defensiveness Amid Criticism<\/h2>\n<p>&lt;pFollowing incidents involving the braking system, Xiaomi&#8217;s official stance argued that the overheating issues stemmed from operational lapses\u2014specifically, not conducting a proper warm-up before intense driving sessions. Their response framed the brake failures as preventable through correct practices.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 9 --><\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, concerns surrounding the overall brake performance remain legitimate. It becomes particularly disheartening when comparisons are made with other high-performance electric vehicles. For instance, a Tesla Model S, with considerably less horsepower, boasts larger brake discs\u2014around \u00a0355 mm\u00a0, while the \u00a0Porsche Taycan GTS\u00a0 presents even more substantial braking components at \u00a0390 mm\u00a0 in diameter.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 10 --><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-asset article-asset-normal article-asset-center\">\n<div class=\"desvio-container\">\n<div class=\"desvio\">\n<div class=\"desvio-figure js-desvio-figure\">\n     <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Xiaomi Competition\" width=\"375\" height=\"142\" src=\"https:\/\/teknomers.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1750735432_485_Ford-is-determined-to-set-aside-the-development-of-its.jpeg\"\/>\n   <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>As the electric vehicle market grows increasingly competitive, organizations like Xiaomi will need to prioritize \u00a0real performance\u00a0 over flashy designs if they hope to compete successfully against established brands known for their engineering excellence.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>No one doubts the effectiveness of the Xiaomi Su7 Ultra.
