Gasgoo Munich-On March 17, Gasgoo learned that Xiaomi EV officially named Su Bingtian as its brand ambassador.
According to Baidu Baike, Su Bingtian is a Chinese sprinter and Master of Sport who holds the Asian records for the men's 60-meter and 100-meter events.
"As a first-generation SU7 owner, I've been driving this car for quite a while," Su posted on Weibo. "It's my daily go-to, and the handling is steady and precise. The kids at home are particularly fond of Xiao Ai, too."
The announcement sparked online discussion about why Xiaomi EV chose a spokesperson. In response, founder Lei Jun took to Weibo with a straightforward explanation: "Let me try to answer that: He's the fastest man in Asia, he's a first-generation SU7 owner, and his surname is SU. Are those reasons enough?"
