IT House News on January 24, a group of pictures of the outer cover of the first model of Xiaomi cars were recently exposed, mainly showing the design details of the front face and rear of the vehicle. Judging from the picture, the front of the new car adopts a trapezoidal front grille, and the fog lamp area on both sides is also designed with a shape similar to the air guide groove, and the headlight shape is relatively rounded.
In this regard, Wang Hua, general manager of the public relations department of Xiaomi Group, just responded on Weibo, saying that this is indeed a leak of the design documents confidential by the secondary supplier, but the supplier is only a supplier for mold proofing, and the leaked documents are very early design drafts of the bidding process, not final documents.
In other words, the leaked cover pictures do not show the final design of the Xiaomi car.
The news also showed that the car welded air duct, side air duct decorative cover, rear bumper lower decorative strip, lower air intake grille, etc., all came from BAIC molding. BAIC Molding is a joint venture between BNA, subsidiaries Hainachuan and Jiangnan Molding, of which BHAP is the parts industry platform of BAIC Group, and Jiangnan Molding is one of the largest production bases of exterior products such as automobile bumper assemblies in China.
IT Home learned that according to LatePost's previous report, Xiaomi's first car is positioned as a mid-size sedan with an internal code name Modena Modena. According to Xiaomi's official car manufacturing schedule, its first model is expected to be officially mass-produced in the first half of 2024.
