It’s only been a few days since Xiaomi announced its first electronic vehicle, i.e., the Xiaomi SU7 Car. The company took the wraps off the C-class high-performance sedan, featuring impressive performance, exceptional technology, and a sleek design. After a wait of over a decade, Xiaomi finally jumped into the electronic vehicle market, and now the company seems to be evolving further for future vehicles.

Xiaomi’s Innovative Hidden Car Door Handle Patent

In such a step towards innovation, the company patents Hidden Car Door Handles and some other shapes that could be part of future Xiaomi cars. As per the description of the document that appeared on CNIPA, the car door handle can be opened by pulling the door handle. There are different handle shapes, including convex, semi-hidden, and hidden door handles. Apart from all other handle types, the hidden door handles are more beneficial as they reduce air drag.

Apart from the already-present hidden door handles, the new Xiaomi patent doesn’t require any complex mechanisms. It can easily be restricted without the need for any electronic motor that retracts the handle. The simple structure and automatic retracting handle component reduce the cost and weight and simplify the complex mechanism, which is easier to use.

Xiaomi’s SU7 uses the semi-hidden indoor handle instead of the new pop-up door handle. We hope that in the coming new models, Xiaomi can use the fully hidden door handles to make the design more drag-free and efficient. Even the label diagram quite evidently shows the simplified hidden door mechanism.

Additionally, the Xiaomi SU7 electric car is a high-performance, enduring sedan. A top Mercedes-Benz and BMW design team created an elegant exterior with water drop-shaped headlamps and aerodynamic features. The Max variant has 673 horsepower, a 2.78-second 0-100 km/h acceleration, and a 265 km/h top speed. Max shines with an 800km CLTC range and fast charging. The large interior has Xiaomi’s HyperOS system, smart technology, and safety measures. The self-driving Xiaomi Pilot mode makes it futuristic. Xiaomi hopes to succeed in the automobile business with its introduction and pricing details.

Old Mechanism of Hidden Door Handles Explained

Usually, the present hidden-door handles comprise three main elements, which include an electric retracting motor and two spaces on the front and rear sides of the handle so that the candle can be restricted when toggled. The front or rear space is used to push or pull the door.
