Two-wire car? Exposed Xiaomi's Zhimi Technology is preparing to build a car The first model is an SUV

Now there are indications that Xiaomi's car manufacturing is not a single line, it may be a "two-pronged approach".

On December 13, according to the exclusive news of 36Kr, Zhimi Technology, an ecological chain company under Xiaomi Holdings, has joined the car-making team and will assemble a car-making team composed of former employees of GM and BAIC. According to people familiar with the matter, Zhimi's first model will be an SUV.

Xiaomi makes cars

It is worth noting that the above-mentioned sources said that Zhimi's car-making business will remain independent from Xiaomi Automobile. That is to say, Zhimi's car-making project and the car-making project led by Lei Jun may belong to a parallel relationship.

At present, in response to the news, Zhimi Technology has not responded.

If the above news is true, Zhimi should follow up like Xiaomi and set up a car company. Up to now, Xiaomi has established two automobile companies, and its newly established Xiaomi Automobile Technology Co., Ltd. was established on November 18, with the legal representative being Lei Jun and a registered capital of 1 billion yuan.

Since the Xiaomi car project has already been launched, Xiaomi's first model may also arrive earlier than Zhimi's first SUV. Previously, Lei Jun said that Xiaomi Cars is expected to be officially mass-produced in the first half of 2024, a little earlier than expected. Therefore, Xiaomi is also ready to roll out the sales network in advance. Earlier, Lu Weibing said that Xiaomi Home is already studying how to sell cars, and will open more large stores in the future.
