On April 6, on the 11th Anniversary MI Fan OPEN DAY, Xiaomi Group CEO Lei Jun said that the company would launch its first electric car in 3 years.
On Mi fans’ open day, Mr. Lei once again responded to the car-making plan during the live broadcast, saying, “I am willing to do my best to make a good car for the Mi fans.”
The CEO pointed out that the first Xiaomi-made car will definitely be the most cutting-edge product at that time, and is expected to be launched in 3 years.
About the first car model, Xiaomi had done a survey on Weibo, Chinese most popular social platform, in which 45% of users hope that the first car is a sedan, and 40% of users want an SUV. And the price range most users expect is from as little as 100,000 yuan to as much as 300,000 yuan (about $15,300-$45,900).
