Xiaomi’s electric car, which was recently listed on the website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, is likely to be manufactured in the company’s factory in Beijing. The car was previously thought to be manufactured by BAIC Group, but new information has revealed that Xiaomi will be producing the vehicle itself.
Xiaomi’s electric sedan will be manufactured in its own factory
Dubbed the SU7 (Speed Ultra 7), the car is a pure electric sedan that bears the Xiaomi trademark. While the manufacturing company is listed as BAIC Group Off-road Vehicle Co., Ltd., production will take place at Xiaomi’s self-built factory in Beijing.
This is evident from the address listed in the declaration information in CMIIT certification, which matches the location of Xiaomi Motor’s factory.
Industry insiders believe that Xiaomi may be temporarily using BAIC’s production qualifications to expedite the vehicle’s launch, while simultaneously pursuing its independent qualifications.
This strategy is not uncommon in the automotive industry, as it allows new entrants to bring their products to market more quickly.
Talking about the EV itself, it boasts a sleek and modern design, measuring 4997mm in length, 1963mm in width, and 1455mm in height. Its wheelbase spans 3000mm, providing ample interior space and a comfortable ride.
Powered by a lithium iron phosphate battery supplied by BYD’s FinDreams Battery, the sedan is equipped with an engine from United Automotive Electronics Co., Ltd., delivering a peak power of 220kW. You can learn more about Xiaomi’s upcoming sedan in a detailed article here.
