The First Xiaomi Car Will Introduce An Extended-range Version: 1.5T/L Range Extender Fastback Coupe

It is reported that Xiaomi‘s first car will be launched in both battery electric and extended-range versions, with the battery electric version available in high-end and entry-level configurations.

The entry-level model adopts a 400V voltage platform and plans to use BYD Blade Battery. The high-end model adopts an 800V voltage platform and uses CATL Qilin Battery with a battery pack capacity of 101kWh.

The extended-range version is expected to be equipped with a 1.5L or 1.5T range extender, and paired with a large-capacity battery.

From the current market and consumer demand perspective, launching an extended-range version is undoubtedly a correct choice. Not only could it potentially be cheaper than battery electric vehicles in terms of price, but it also offers more comprehensive usage scenarios, making it convenient to attract a larger user base.

The appearance of Xiaomi‘s first car has been exposed multiple times, adopting a coupe design that is favored by young people. The overall posture is relatively low and sleek, with a longer front end. The rear part of the car features a fastback design, giving it an overall sporty look.

Of course, as a product of Xiaomi, the intelligence of it must be very comprehensive. According to leaks, the new car will be equipped with self-developed chips and operating system, allowing deep integration and seamless interaction with smartphones.

With such planning, if Xiaomi smartphones can achieve self-developed SoC and system in the future, they will be able to rival Apple and Huawei in terms of user experience.
