Oct. 13 — Shares of Chinese electronics giant Xiaomi fell sharply following a fatal accident involving its SU7 Ultra electric sedan.

According to the Chengdu Public Security Bureau’s traffic division, the incident occurred at around 3:18 a.m. on Tianfu Avenue in Chengdu. The SU7 Ultra reportedly collided with another vehicle traveling in the same direction before veering into a roadside greenbelt, overturning, and bursting into flames. Rescuers were unable to open the vehicle’s doors, and the driver—suspected to have been under the influence of alcohol—died at the scene.

Photos circulating online show that the car involved was the SU7 Ultra, a high-performance electric sedan launched by Xiaomi in February, priced from CNY 529,900 (USD 74,325). Witnesses told The Paper that several people tried to pull the driver from the burning car, but the doors could not be opened. Reports suggest the vehicle was swerving and traveling at speeds exceeding 100 kilometers per hour before the crash.

The incident has reignited public debate over the safety of hidden door handles—a design feature increasingly adopted by automakers. In several previous EV accidents, such handles failed to deploy due to electrical malfunctions, preventing quick evacuation and complicating rescue efforts.

In response to such concerns, China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has released a draft regulation requiring all car doors to include a mechanical release mechanism, ensuring they can be opened manually without tools in emergencies.

Xiaomi’s vehicle safety has been under close public scrutiny since its entry into the EV market last year. Just last month, the Beijing-based company recalled 116,887 SU7 vehicles—roughly 30 percent of all delivered units—through an over-the-air software update to address safety issues with its assisted driving system.
