Xiaomi Auto is released soon! The latest full-body exposure, within 300,000 plus laser radar, will sell 100,000 vehicles next year.

Since Xiaomi announced the construction of the car, this unreleased "first electric car for young people" has been successfully circled.

However, many rice noodles were somewhat disappointed with Lei Jun’s annual speech last week. It was less than half a year before "the production car will be launched in 2024". Lei Jun only mentioned "Xiaomi car" twice at the press conference, and the progress and details of building a car were not announced.

It seems that Lei Jun is not in a hurry. What about the last venture that he promised to put his life honor and family property on?

Fortunately, the latest news has given everyone a reassurance. Recently, a blogger claimed to have photographed four test cars of Xiaomi cars on the Urumqi-Changji Expressway in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and said that "the posture is really good". At the same time, he also added some details of Xiaomi car: equipped with yellow calipers and sharp interior center console edge.

As for how to see that it is Xiaomi Automobile, the blogger said, "Taillights, headlights, wheels and camouflage are all consistent with what Beijing broke at that time."

Coincidentally, at the same time, Lei Jun, chairman of Xiaomi Group, also posted a message in Weibo: "Test Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 Leica Optics, Four-shot and Five-focal Section" and took a group photo. At this time, his IP attribution showed that he was located in Xinjiang. And after the banner held in the group photo is enlarged, it is "fighting for Xiaomi car".

On the other hand, Lu Weibing, the partner and president of Xiaomi Group, also sent a Weibo: "Two shadows are formed", with a picture of two shadows.

Combining multiple sources seems to imply that Lei Jun and other senior executives came to the scene to "supervise" Xiaomi’s test results.

What’s more exaggerated is that the energy consumption performance of Xiaomi Automobile has been concealed. The former Geely Automobile Research Institute Hu Zhengnan published a document in Weibo to disclose the power consumption of Xiaomi Automobile, which can actually achieve good results of "8.8 kWh per 100 kilometers". …

This is quite amazing. The new car may break through everyone’s imagination again like the Xiaomi mobile phone of that year.

Judging from the content released by Hu Zhengnan, due to being spoofed by the engineer, a tram with a remaining battery life of 152 kilometers was thrown at 8 pm, and he was asked to take three strong men back to the destination 85 kilometers away, with an ambient temperature of 37 degrees.

However, he successfully drove the tram to his destination, and the remaining mileage showed that there were still 90 kilometers, and the energy consumption per 100 kilometers was only 8.8 kWh.

Hu Zhengnan revealed in the comments that the whole road is a mixed road condition of high-speed national highways and rural roads. In this process, Xiaomi Automobile has experienced several downhill energy recovery, but in the end, the energy consumption of the vehicle can still be regarded as an upper-class level.

Regarding Hu Zhengnan’s identity, he was the president of Geely Research Institute. In September 2021, he announced on social media that he had joined Leijun’s Shunwei Capital, focusing on the ecological field of smart car technology. Previously, this personnel change was regarded by the outside world as Xiaomi’s car. Welcome to the first car circle.

Combined with its geographical location-Xinjiang, Hu Zhengnan’s news about Xiaomi Automobile is very credible.

The exposure of this data has also triggered a heated discussion among netizens. A medium and large-sized car, such as Tucki P7 and Tesla Model S, has an excellent energy consumption of less than 15kWh per 100km with a single motor version, so the performance of this millet car at 8.8kWh can definitely be regarded as excellent.

In this regard, there is also a digital blogger @ Alex on Earth who analyzed the data, indicating that the four people can still maintain the score of 8.8 kWh per 100 kilometers in a 50-kilometer journey under a 37-degree environment, plus the graph shows that most of the time they are in an acceleration/rapid acceleration state, and some kinetic energy is recovered in the last 10 kilometers, which means that the power consumption performance of Xiaomi Automobile is "a little scary".

In addition to the energy consumption, we have a clearer understanding of the design of Xiaomi car.

Although the new car is still in a state of high camouflage, it is certain that it will be a coupe with a sliding back design, and the front of the new car is long, which is obviously different from our impression of pure electric vehicles. It is expected that the new car will adopt a closed front face design to further optimize the aerodynamic performance of the vehicle.

Not only that, the new car will adopt a borderless door and a hidden door handle design, which looks a bit like Porsche Taycan, so some netizens teased: Whether you can drive a Porsche in this life depends on Xiaomi.

In addition, judging from the outline of the vehicle, the new car may be equipped with a spoiler.

In the body posture, the new car also looks very low. The inclination of the A-pillar is too large, the B-pillar is slender, and the waistline is high. It really looks like a coupe. In detail, the charging port is arranged on the left rear fender, and it will support sucking the charging gun.

From the general outline, it can also be found that the top of Xiaomi car is equipped with lidar equipment.

Earlier, there were car bloggers who came across the road test camouflage car of Xiaomi MS11. The blogger said that the body size of the new car would be at the B+ level.

However, it was revealed that the dimensions, length, width and height of the new car were 4860/1980/1666 mm respectively, which was similar to that of Tucki P7 currently on sale.

In the interior part, the new car may adopt a more conventional design, and there is a large central control screen in the middle of the center console.

Because the screen on the test car has a wide border, it is speculated that the production version may be equipped with a simpler and more sci-fi screen. In addition, the test car is equipped with a relatively small LCD instrument, and the steering wheel seems to adopt a flat-bottomed design, which highlights a certain sporty atmosphere.

In the core configuration, it is revealed that the battery of Xiaomi Automobile is 101kWh, with a rated voltage of 726.7V and a weight of 642kg. These parameters also show that the power battery carried by Xiaomi Automobile is expected to support 800V high-voltage fast charging, which is the same as the previous news.

800V should be the most advanced pure electric fast charging scheme in the field of new energy at present. As a reference, Tucki G6 equipped with 800V fast charging technology can charge for up to 10 minutes and have a battery life of 300km.

At the same time, Xiaomi’s first car will be equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip, which adopts 5nm process, and the GPU 3D rendering performance is three times higher than that of 8155. At present, there is no production car equipped with this chip in the market, even if Xiaomi car was released in 2024, it is still at the hardware level of the first echelon.

In addition, it will be a high probability that Xiaomi car will be equipped with MIUI car version. After all, MIUI system has always been the core of Xiaomi mobile phone, and it is expected to be equipped with intelligent voice of Xiaoai classmates and get through with Xiaomi smart home system. In addition, Xiaomi car will also support functions such as non-inductive unlocking of mobile phones.

It is worth mentioning that Xiaomi recently announced the test results of autonomous driving. According to the official statement, the test vehicle can realize unprotected automatic U-turn, bypass the accident vehicle and automatic parking in place.

You can even find the charging port automatically through the mechanical arm to complete automatic charging and homing.

As early as June 2021, Xiaomi invested in laser radar provider Hesai Technology, and Hesai Technology released a pure solid-state close-range blind-compensating laser radar named FT120 in November last year, which is expected to be mass-produced and delivered in the second half of this year.

Therefore, Xiaomi Automobile will be dominated by a hybrid solid-state radar located above the windshield, supplemented by several all-solid-state radars. This configuration is absolutely luxurious today.

Less than a year before Xiaomi’s first car went on the market, the core question of Lei Jun’s "soul torture" may be changed from "to do or not to do" to: expensive or not, which is a problem.

When Xiaomi just called to build a car, Lei Jun made a vote on "How much do you want Xiaomi’s first car to cost?" The result showed that the user group with less than 100,000 yuan was the largest.

However, judging from the current situation, the price of Xiaomi car seems to be not so low. According to many sources, the new car will be divided into two versions, one with a price range of 260,000-300,000 yuan and the other with a price of more than 350,000 yuan.

Then Xiaomi’s mass-produced electric vehicles are expected to become competitors of high-end electric vehicle brands such as Weilai, Tucki and Geely Extreme Chlorine.

However, Lei Jun seems quite confident about this new car. According to media reports, in the past two years, Lei Jun has recruited troops for Xiaomi Automobile. According to insiders of Xiaomi, the existing number of people in Xiaomi Automobile Department has reached 2,500, of which the algorithm team for automatic driving has exceeded 500.

According to the financial report, in 2022, the investment in innovative business such as Xiaomi smart electric vehicle was 3.1 billion yuan, and the size of the automobile business team was about 2,300 people. Half a year has passed, and the team members of Xiaomi Automobile are also growing steadily, and the new car will be unveiled at the end of the year at the earliest.

According to reports, Lei Jun has set a big goal in Xiaomi Automobile, and will achieve sales of 100,000 units in the first year of listing in 2024. In contrast, in the first year of mass production of Weilai Automobile in 2018, the set annual delivery target was only 10,000 vehicles. Until 2022, Weilai delivered a total of 122,500 vehicles, and in the same year, Xpeng Motors delivered 120,700 vehicles. Therefore, the pressure on Xiaomi car is really not small.

Then the question is coming. Do you think Xiaomi’s first battle next year will be successful this time?
