Xiaomi is on track to launch its first electric car in 2024. The car, which is codenamed MS11, has recently passed Bluetooth Technology Alliance SIG certification, revealing more information about its configuration.

The car made it to the certification body with several different models of Xiaomi Car with IC4034-BD, IC4004-BD, IC4024-BD, IC4054-BD, IC4005-BD, and IC4015-BD. 

The listing confirms the presence of Bluetooth 5.2 and USB Media functionalities. And interestingly, the car will also support Apple CarPlay, which will allow users to connect their iPhones to the car’s infotainment screen. It provides an interface that allows you to control many applications of your smartphone directly on the screen of your car rather than having to hold it in your hand.

For example, when making a phone call, you can use the car’s built-in speakers and microphone to handle the sound. You will also be able to use the Siri voice assistant when your phone is connected via CarPlay, allowing you to use the system hands-free.

The certifications also show the car will be powered by Qualcomm’s automotive chipset, the Snapdragon 8295. This chip is expected to offer up to 8 times the performance of the previous generation Snapdragon 8155. Other rumored features include a 101 kWh battery and support for 800 V high voltage fast charging.

The Xiaomi Car is expected to be priced between  260,000 yuan and 350,000 yuan (36,400 – 49,000 USD).
