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.
