    Xiaomi was recently rumored to be preparing the launch of the “Xiaomi SU8,” which many expected to be unveiled today. However, a Xiaomi official has debunked this rumor through a Weibo post, stating that the news is false and no such car is in development. Despite this, spy photos of an SUV, believed to be from Xiaomi, have surfaced.

    A New Contender?

    Xiaomi’s CEO, Lei Jun, announced that he will deliver his fifth annual speech at 19:00 on the evening of July 19. He plans to discuss the intricacies of car manufacturing and the challenges faced over the past three years. Although he has not provided specific details about a new car’s development or launch date, rumors suggest that an SUV might be unveiled during the event.

    Upcoming Announcements

    Previous reports indicate that the July 19 event will also showcase the Xiaomi Mix Fold 4, Redmi K70 Ultra, and Xiaomi Mix Flip. While it remains uncertain if Xiaomi will introduce a new car, leaked spy photos show an SUV, allegedly codenamed MX11. This vehicle is anticipated to be revealed either by the end of this year or early next year.

    The leaked images highlight a design reminiscent of the Xiaomi SU7, featuring M-shaped headlights and pebble-style laser radar.

    Production and Sales

    Regarding the Xiaomi SU7, the company has increased production to reduce waiting times. A previous report noted that Xiaomi sold over 10,000 units of the SU7 in June and aims to sell another 10,000 units this month. Xiaomi Auto is reportedly targeting the delivery of 100,000 EVs this year.

    Xiaomi Officially Denies Rumors About Xiaomi SU8

    Wang Hua, the head of Xiaomi’s Public Relations Department, has officially refuted the speculation regarding the Xiaomi SU8. He clarified that there is no such model currently in existence.

    Recently, there have been numerous rumors about the Xiaomi SU8. On July 15, an automotive media outlet created two posters for the Xiaomi SU8. One of these posters indicated that the "Xiaomi SU8" would be revealed on July 16. The poster also featured realistic images of the car, which was touted as the successor to the Xiaomi SU7.

    Speculation and Confirmation

    When the official announcement came, confirming that the posters were fake and that no successor to the SU7 was being developed, many people began to speculate about a potential Xiaomi SU9. Recently, some spy photos emerged online, purportedly showing Xiaomi’s first SUV. According to an earlier report, the vehicle is internally codenamed MX11 and is anticipated to launch in 2025. Fan-made renderings of the SUV incorporate many design features from the Xiaomi SU7, such as the headlights, door handles, pebble-style laser radar, Saturn ring taillights, and petal-shaped alloy wheels.

    According to CNMO, this SUV is likely to become the company’s second electric vehicle (EV). However, its launch is still at least a year away.

    Production and Sales

    In the meantime, the company achieved sales of over 10,000 units of the SU7 in June and is projected to sell another 10,000 units this month. Xiaomi Auto aims to deliver a total of 100,000 EVs this year. To meet this demand, the company has increased its EV production.
