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. They initiated double-shift production in June to ensure they meet their monthly delivery goal of 10,000 units.
