Chinese Super Sedan Owners Furious Over Fake Aero Ducts In $6K Aero Hood

Xiaomi faced owner backlash in 2025 after over 300 SU7 Ultra buyers sued the company over a $5,830 carbon fiber hood with fake air ducts.
The dispute arose because the hood, advertised to improve cooling, was shown by tests to have cosmetic ducts without performance benefits.
On May 7, Xiaomi apologized for unclear product descriptions and offered affected customers a choice between 20,000 loyalty points or replacing their carbon fiber hood with a standard aluminum version, though the replacement is expected to take 30 to 40 weeks.
Lei Jun called recent weeks the most difficult since Xiaomi Auto's start, and the company's stock dropped 5.6% on May 12 amid calls to cancel or refund orders.
Despite strong SU7 sales, this controversy highlights risks in marketing optional upgrades and growing dissatisfaction among Xiaomi’s premium sedan owners.
