Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun shared a photo on Weibo displaying the IP location in Xinjiang, revealing Xiaomi Car. Details from Lei Jun’s Weibo post indicate he’s testing the camera capabilities of the Xiaomi MIX Fold 3. The main point of interest lies in the banner featured in the photograph.
Upon closer scrutiny, some internet users zoomed in on the photo and made a revealing discovery. The banners held by Lu Weibing and companions bear the words “Fight for Xiaomi Cars.” It’s apparent that Lei Jun and Lu Weibing are overseeing the summer road tests in person.
Adding to this, certain netizens captured a potential Xiaomi road test camouflage car photo in Xinjiang. This suggests upcoming official updates about Xiaomi cars.
Previous leaks suggest Xiaomi’s debut car will be a sedan. Hesai Technology has been confirmed as the supplier for the lidar technology, with a price ceiling above 300,000 yuan.
Cost considerations are driving the higher price ceiling for Xiaomi’s first car. However, the phrase “price upper limit surpasses 300,000” also implies a more affordable entry-level configuration. Curiosity about Xiaomi’s car pricing stems from the brand’s history of emphasizing cost-effectiveness, a trait seen in Xiaomi mobile phones.
