According to "36 Krypton", the second new car of Xiaomi Auto will be positioned as a pure electric SUV, which is expected to be launched in the first half of 2025, continuing the design level of the first model of Xiaomi Auto, and the third model is initially positioned at 150,000 yuan and is expected to be launched in 2026.
In addition, the spy photos of the suspected second car of Xiaomi Auto Real Car appeared in Xiaomi stores have also been exposed on the Internet, this new car is positioned as a medium and large SUV, and the overall appearance lines look good.
At the moment, Xiaomi Auto has not released any information about the second car, so the authenticity of the report has yet to be confirmed.
The Xiaomi SU7 will be officially released on March 28, 2024, and will be available in three configurations, with the standard version priced at 215,900 yuan, the Pro version priced at 245,900 yuan, and the Max version priced at 299,900 yuan. The mission of Xiaomi SU7 is still very clear, that is, to build a Dream Car comparable to Porsche and Tesla, and become a benchmark for pure electric cars.
Xiaomi SU7 positioning coupe, smooth body lines and fastback tail design are really impressive, but this type of model also has a drawback, that is, the rear space is too cramped, especially for male friends are not friendly, before SU7 went on the market, some netizens exposed this problem, but Lu Weibing of Xiaomi Group still clarified, and sent a number of videos online to prove that Xiaomi SU7 is spacious. In fact, Xiaomi SU7 can be called a Dream Car comparable to Porsche and Tesla, but it is definitely not a Dream Car for ordinary families.
Previously, Xiaomi Auto mentioned in the "Answer to 100 Questions from Netizens" that the car is the "king of industry", and the car is the representative of the "spirit of the times" of the times. Lei Jun also responded to why Xiaomi Auto's first car didn't make SUVs and MPVs? Lei Jun believes that first of all, cars are used to drive, and sedans have a better driving feeling, which is suitable for daily care of small families. Secondly, the market demand for sedans is very large, and the total amount is about the same as that of SUVs, but it is very difficult to make pure electric cars, and there are not many good pure electric cars on the market now. Some netizens also believe that when Xiaomi Auto established the project in 2021, it was actually the Model 3 that sold best, and later after the domestic Model Y was launched, the Model 3 was gradually replaced.
In fact, no matter what the reason for Xiaomi Auto to make a sedan, with the current market heat of Xiaomi SU7, as a new student in the automotive industry, it has been very successful so far. Judging from the data of approaching 90,000 Dading in 24 hours, as well as the popularity of the test drive queue in full stores, Xiaomi Auto has indeed taken the first step towards the success of car manufacturing. Yesterday, Lei Jun also announced at the Xiaomi investor conference that as of April 20, the number of Xiaomi SU7 orders locked exceeded 70,000 units, and the delivery target of Xiaomi SU7 in 2024 exceeded 100,000 units.
If Xiaomi Auto wants to further lead the market, SUV must be a must-do model category. As for whether the second car of Xiaomi Auto is an SUV or not, the possibility is still very great. First of all, for Chinese people, SUVs are much more attractive than sedans. In 2023, Tesla's Model Y sales will be 456,400 units, while Tesla's Model 3 will only be 147,300 units, and the Model Y will be twice as many as the Model 3, so there is no reason why Xiaomi Auto should not make SUVs. Secondly, the SU7 positioning coupe, although the market feedback is not bad, but after all, it is the first car, it is inevitable that there will be some places that cannot be taken into account, and these "regrets" may be made up for in the SUV. In addition, Xiaomi Auto still needs to take care of the expectations of more users, re-realize the importance of family SUVs, solve the user pain points that the models on sale have not solved, and create a real and easy-to-use family car.
As for what the Xiaomi SUV looks like, in fact, long before the SU7 went on the market, there were many "wild designers" who drew renderings of the Xiaomi SUV according to the design style of the SU7, some like the Porsche Cayenne, some like the Aston Martin DBX, and according to the existing statement, the Xiaomi SUV will continue the design style of the first model, so it is also sporty in the exterior design, but it is expected to be optimized in many aspects, such as interior space, etc., to meet the needs of users for family SUVs.
For Xiaomi Auto, the mass production of the first model has been realized, and the order has far exceeded market expectations, but this is only the first step. Lei Jun once said that Xiaomi's future goal is to strive to enter the world's top five within 15-20 years.
