As Xiaomi's first car, Xiaomi SU7 has achieved hot sales when it was launched. According to CNMO, there are rumors that Xiaomi is speeding up the development of its first SUV, and the new car is expected to be unveiled at the end of this year and may be named "Xiaomi SU8". Recently, the renderings of this new car have been leaked on the Internet, and it looks like it has a good sense of technology and sportiness.
Render of Xiaomi SU8
According to the recently leaked renderings of the appearance of the new car on the Internet, Xiaomi SU8 is a luxury medium and large SUV, the front of the car is equipped with Mi-style dot matrix LED headlights similar to SU7, and the Xiaomi logo in the middle has been upgraded to a luminous design, full of a sense of technology. At the rear, there is still a continuous LED tail light cluster, and a large black spoiler above the tailgate.
According to reports, Xiaomi's upcoming SU8 model is based on a new platform, with a body length of nearly 5 meters and a wheelbase size of nearly 3 meters, which should be better than the SU7 in terms of space performance. In terms of powertrain, the Xiaomi SU8 is expected to be available in a single-motor version, a range-extender version, and a dual-motor four-wheel drive version, and will also use the same advanced technologies as the SU7, such as a dual-mode high-efficiency heat pump and CTB battery integration.
According to media analysis, Xiaomi's launch of the second new car is in line with market expectations. In addition, the Xiaomi SU8 is a new car mainly aimed at the SUV market, which can not only avoid internal competition with the SU7, but also further expand its market share through SUV models. In terms of price, it is reported that Xiaomi SU8 may compete in the market for the price range of 300,000-400,000, and its main competitors include models such as the M7 and Li L7.
However, there is still a question mark over whether Xiaomi's first SUV will be named "SU8". Generally speaking, SUVs and sedans under the same car brand will make a distinction in model naming, such as Xpeng's "G" and "P", NIO's "ES" and "ET", etc. Therefore, Xiaomi's SUV product line is likely to use different model names, what do you think?
