How should coilover dampers be adjusted? Do I need to lift the car to adjust them?

Official answer

The Xiaomi SU7 Ultra offers an optional top-tier BILSTEIN EVO T1 coilover damper, custom-tuned by Xiaomi at the Nürburgring. Compared to air springs, this coilover damper has higher stiffness, bringing users a handling experience infinitely close to that of a racing car. When adjusting the damping of the coilover damper, there is no need to lift the vehicle; the front wheel dampers can be adjusted via knobs exposed on the strut tower, and the rear wheel dampers can be adjusted via knobs located within the wheel arch; when adjusting the ride height of the coilover damper, the vehicle needs to be lifted, the tires removed, the spring compression of the damper adjusted, and then the tires reinstalled.

The dual-chamber closed air springs paired with high-performance continuously variable damping adjustable dampers, which are standard on the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra, can intelligently switch based on driving mode, road conditions, and body response, adjusting stiffness and height individually. This satisfies both the sporty needs of intense driving and daily comfortable commuting.
