Xiaomi, the Chinese tech giant, is reportedly nearing mass production of its first electric car, the Modena. The car was codenamed MS11 and was repeatedly spotted in certifications and patents filed by Xiaomi. Recently, images of the Modena have been circulating on Chinese social media.
The leaked images show a sedan with frameless doors, hidden door handles, and a charging port located at the rear of the body. The car bears the Xiaomi logo on the speaker located on the doors, confirming that this is indeed Xiaomi’s first electric car.
The design of the Modena reveals a fairly standard sedan form factor, similar to the Tesla Model 3. However, the car does feature some up-to-date EV amenities, such as frameless doors with pop-out handles and a rear-mounted charging port.
The interior of the Modena’s trunk appears to be fairly standard, but the car does feature at least one unique element: a Xiaomi logo set into the in-door speaker. This suggests that Xiaomi is planning to use its own first-party audio system in the car, rather than co-branding with a partner such as Harman.
Xiaomi’s first electric car is on track to launch in 2024. We’ll keep you updated on the progress.
