A widely circulated photo online appears to show the first reported accident involving the new Xiaomi SU7 electric car. The photo shows a collision between a Xiaomi SU7 and a white Mercedes-Benz sedan.

The images depict significant damage to both vehicles. The Mercedes-Benz, which appears to be white, sustained a completely shattered right headlight, a bulged hood, and deformation of the front bumper and air intake grille.

The Xiaomi SU7, bearing the brunt of the impact on its right side, has two damaged doors and deployed airbags.

“Big Lizi Qiqili,” a well-known social media influencer in China, clarified that the Xiaomi SU7 belonged to him and that a colleague was filming when the accident occurred. He stated that both vehicles had green lights and that the traffic police placed full responsibility on his driver.

Following the accident, the blogger offered an update on the car’s condition. They reported that an emergency call was immediately made from within the car to confirm the situation. The airbags had deployed, but none of the interior accessories appeared to have fallen off.

Additionally, the rear flat panel remained intact, the door handles functioned normally, and the doors themselves opened without issue.

A later update confirmed the SU7 was taken to an after-sales service center for repairs. Thankfully, both the driver and the other party involved in the accident escaped with minor injuries. The blogger concluded by reminding everyone to prioritize safety while driving.
