Sources & confidence
How sure are we about each number?
Every factual claim on this site, with the source category and confidence rating. We mark estimates as estimates and unverified claims as unverified.
We compile data from public Xiaomi press, automotive media reporting, and third-party reviewers. We're an enthusiast site, not the manufacturer, so we cannot confirm anything that hasn't been publicly released. This page lists the major factual claims used elsewhere on su7.tech and labels each with how confident we are. If a label is `unverified` or `estimate`, treat that number as a starting point for your own research, not as fact. If you spot a claim we should re-classify or update, email contact@su7.tech with the correction and a source link — we credit verifiable corrections with a date stamp.
