Rumors circulating in the tech sphere suggest that Xiaomi’s December conference might witness the debut of its first-ever car. This speculation gains traction as Xiaomi’s foray into the automotive realm has already been officially acknowledged by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Xiaomi’s Chairman, Lei Jun, has previously stated that the company’s venture into the automotive sector will culminate in an official launch in 2024. With this timeline in mind, unveiling the Xiaomi car at the end of 2023 seems plausible.

The official website of Xiaomi Auto has already been launched, adding a layer of legitimacy to the anticipated imminent introduction of Xiaomi’s vehicle lineup. Recent reports from domestic auto media reveal that Xiaomi’s inaugural car has progressed to the fifth stage of production line verification (PT5) at the Yizhuang factory. The factory aims to complete the loading of 300 vehicles this month. This is a significant increase from the production targets achieved in November. These developments underscore the steady and rapid preparations being made for the official launch.

Xiaomi has recently showcased five models from the Xiaomi 14 series and the Redmi K70 series at two separate press conferences in October and November. These conferences also introduced a plethora of wearable devices and smart home products to the Xiaomi ecosystem.

While information about the upcoming product remains shrouded in secrecy, Xiaomi’s track record of innovative releases suggests that the conference might include a diverse range of cutting-edge gadgets and devices.
