Recently, a picture about Xiaomi's automobile industry chain was circulated on the Internet, and after verification, at least 50% of the content was completely wrong. We are deeply puzzled and regrettable by the spread of this misinformation and the misleading information it has caused to the public and investors. It is hereby clarified.

Previously, at the press conference on December 28, 2023, Xiaomi's new car SU7 was officially unveiled.
Lei Jun said at the press conference, "What we want to build is not a mediocre car, but a dream car comparable to Porsche and Tesla." ”
Regarding the price issue that the public is concerned about, Lei Jun replied at the press conference: "Don't think about 99,000, and 149,000 is impossible." And before that, he stressed that the price of the Xiaomi SU7 is really a bit expensive, but it must be expensive and valuable.
On January 2, when replying to netizens' questions about the price of SU7, Lei Jun said again: "Is there an opponent within 500,000 yuan?" and this reply also caused speculation that the final price of SU7 may be between 20-500,000 yuan.
