Tesla Model 3 and Model Y dominate China's real-world efficiency tests
"Autohome's evaluation placed all vehicles under identical conditions, such as a full 375-kg load, cabin temperature fixed at 24°C on automatic climate control, and a steady cruising speed of 120 km/h. In this environment, the Tesla Model 3 posted 20.8 kWh/100 km while the Model Y followed closely at 21.8 kWh/100 km, as noted in a Sina News report. These figures positioned Tesla's vehicles firmly at the top of the ranking and highlighted their continued leadership in long-range efficiency."
"Following the results, Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun noted that the Xiaomi SU7 actually performed well overall but naturally consumed more energy due to its larger C-segment footprint and higher specification. He reiterated that factors such as size and weight contributed to the difference in real-world consumption compared to Tesla. Still, the executive noted that Xiaomi will continue to learn from the veteran EV maker."
A controlled Autohome test ranked electric vehicles under identical conditions including a 375-kg load, cabin set to 24°C, and 120 km/h cruising speed. The Tesla Model 3 achieved 20.8 kWh/100 km and the Model Y 21.8 kWh/100 km, placing both Teslas at the top for long-range efficiency. The test highlighted the importance of drivetrain optimization, software management, and aerodynamic design in maintaining low consumption at high speeds and cold conditions. Xiaomi's SU7 showed solid performance but higher consumption due to larger C-segment size and higher specifications, with Xiaomi planning further refinements.
