Xiaomi SU7 Ultra Hood Wind Tunnels Become Resting Spots for Stray Cats
A video showing two stray cats sleeping in the front-hood wind tunnels of a green Xiaomi SU7 Ultra in a Shanghai underground garage has drawn more than 120,000 likes on social media. The concave air-guiding ducts, designed to optimise airflow and enhance vehicle performance, provide a wind-sheltered, temperature-stable environment that attracts cats. After the video spread, owners in multiple cities reported similar incidents of cats entering the wind tunnels to rest. No official statement has been issued regarding vehicle performance or safety implications.
A video shows a green Xiaomi SU7 Ultra parked in a parking space in an underground garage in Shanghai, with an orange cat lying and resting in each of the two air-guiding wind tunnels on the front hood. The video has been widely shared on social media, accumulating more than 120,000 likes. The wind tunnels feature a concave design with space large enough to accommodate an adult cat. The stable temperature of the underground garage and the wind-sheltered recess create an environment suitable for cats to linger.
The air-guiding ducts on the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra were originally designed to optimise airflow and enhance the vehicle's dynamic performance. The recessed structure blocks wind and light; underground garages remain cool in summer, while in winter the tunnels retain residual warmth from the car body, making them attractive to stray cats. After the video circulated, owners in multiple cities reported similar situations, with cats in several underground garages crawling into the wind tunnels to sleep.
The phenomenon has drawn widespread attention, but no official statement has been issued regarding vehicle performance or safety implications.
