A Xiaomi SU7 owner in China fractured her thumb after it was caught in the car’s power-closing door, prompting the automaker to offer app reward points as compensation.
The power-closing door is not a standard feature on the Xiaomi SU7. It is part of a 7,600-yuan (US$1,120) technology package that also includes features such as a head-up display and electric steering wheel, Yangtze Evening Post reported.
Although the feature is common on showroom vehicles, some Xiaomi dealerships have reportedly disabled it on display cars to prevent accidents.
Xiaomi said the power-closing door does not come with an anti-pinch function and therefore carries a risk of trapping fingers. The company apologized to Zhao and said it had begun handling the case.
Other SU7 owners have also reported similar incidents involving hands or arms being caught by the doors, though most injuries were limited to swelling or redness.
The incident has renewed debate over the safety of high-end convenience features in electric vehicles. Some online users said anti-pinch technology should be required for power-operated doors, while others argued drivers should use such systems with caution.
A video by KenW shared on social media shows Zhao's finger broken by a power-closing door of her Xiaomi SU7 electric car.
