Xiaomi
In partnership with Xiaomi, ALCANTARA® showcased a full lineup including the concept supercar "Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo," EVs "SU7" and "YU7," and the flagship model "SU7 Ultra." Up to 5 square meters of ALCANTARA® were used in areas such as seat contact surfaces, steering wheel grip areas, instrument panel seams, and inner door panels. This achieves a tactile feel with high friction and wear resistance, balancing comfort and precise operability at a high level.
