The photo of Xiaomi car was exposed again. Different from the declaration map published on the website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the spy photos circulated on the Internet, this time it is a millet SU7 with a light green appearance. Fresh colors, many young people said that they were moved and "must rush."On the hot search together with the photos of Xiaomi car, it is the topic that "Xiaomi car will lose 3 million fines if the media leaks". Therefore, some netizens ridiculed, and a supplier was fined 1 million yuan for leaking Xiaomi’s design draft at the beginning of this year. At present, Xiaomi Automobile has earned 4 million yuan. In addition to the photos of Xiaomi Automobile, Lei Jun, the founder, chairman and CEO of Xiaomi Group, also talked about Xiaomi Automobile in the CCTV face-to-face column yesterday. Lei Jun said that he built the car with the assurance that he was determined to win. There are two principles for Xiaomi to build a car. The first one is "keeping the integrity surprisingly". Keeping the integrity is to fully respect the laws of the automobile industry and use the mature technology of the automobile industry to ensure that the first car can be built well; The second is "ten times the investment". Generally, a car company invests about 300 to 400 people in building a car, and about 1 billion or 2 billion R&D funds, while Xiaomi invested 3,400 engineers in the first car, and the entire R&D investment exceeded 10 billion.More and more details show that "the first car for young people" is about to be pushed into the spotlight and be judged by the market.Xiaomi car "hit the face"?On November 15th, the first model of Xiaomi Automobile appeared in the 377th batch of Announcement of Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Products issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The declaration map shows that the first model of Xiaomi Automobile is a pure electric car, and there are two models, namely SU7 and SU7 Max.As soon as the picture came out, many fans thought that Xiaomi’s car hit Porsche. The media electric gorilla made a series of pictures, comparing the front face, taillights and waistline of Xiaomi car and Porsche TayCan. "It’s not that Porsche can’t afford it, but that Xiaomi is more cost-effective." Some car fans even ridiculed Xiaomi’s car "Bao Shi Mi".In terms of specific parameters, the length, width and height of Xiaomi SU7 are 4997mm/1963mm/1455mm, the wheelbase is 3000mm, and the height of Xiaomi SU7 Max is 1440mm, and the other parameters are the same. Xiaomi SU7 will have two battery capacity versions, the battery pack capacity is 101kWh and 73.6kWh respectively, of which the battery life of 101kWh is 800km and 750km; respectively; The battery life of 73.6kWh battery pack is 668km and 628km respectively. Xiaomi Automobile adopts ternary lithium-ion battery made in Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, and its driving motor has a peak power of 220kW/275kW. It is also equipped with an automobile event data recording system (EDR). In addition, when the spy photos of Xiaomi’s car frame were exposed, some fans thought that the handle area of Xiaomi’s car interior door panel was similar to Tesla Model 3.At present, there are various spy photos, "ID photos" and unpainted driving photos of Xiaomi Automobile on the Internet, and most rice noodles are satisfied with the appearance of Xiaomi Automobile exposed at present.Does Xiaomi Automobile insist on cost performance?At present, the news on the market is that Xiaomi car is divided into standard version, Pro version, Max version, and track version that will not be mass-produced, and the price is concentrated at 190,000-300,000 yuan. Guo Ming, an analyst at Tianfeng International Securities, said that the key selling points of Xiaomi Automobile are autonomous driving, software ecology and 800V fast charging and power configuration, and the estimated price is less than 300,000 yuan. Han Lu, a senior car blogger, previously broke the news that Xiaomi Automobile is positioned as a C-class luxury car with a minimum price of around 300,000 and a high allocation of around 500,000. At present, this Weibo has been deleted. Earlier, the article said that Xiaomi Automobile was priced at 260,000 yuan and divided into two versions. The price of low-profile models ranges from 260,000 to 300,000 yuan, and the price of high-profile models exceeds 350,000 yuan. However, the price of Xiaomi car will be as low as 200,000, or 200,000-300,000, or more than 300,000. The price of the three stages directly determines whether Xiaomi car still focuses on the familiar "cost-effective" formula. After the announcement of building a car, Lei Jun initiated a vote on the pricing of Xiaomi car, with nearly 20,000 people participating, with the largest number of netizens choosing less than 100,000 yuan, followed by 100,000-150,000 yuan. However, from the current exposure of Xiaomi car configuration, the pricing below 150,000 is indeed somewhat difficult. Xiaomi automobile, which has not yet been released, has already faced an increasingly new energy market. This year, new energy vehicles started a price war. Near the end of the year, in order to rush sales, the promotion methods of car companies are becoming more and more crazy. According to a document issued by Cui Dongshu, the current secretary-general of the National Passenger Car Market Information Association, the promotion of new energy vehicles increased especially in November this year, and it has reached the historical high promotion level since last November.According to the data of Easy Car, in the last month of 2023, Jiyue, BYD, Tucki, Zhiji, etc. adjusted the prices of various series of vehicles one after another, and other new energy vehicles also introduced various preferential policies to buy before the end of the year. Can the fans be satisfied with the final pricing of Xiaomi Automobile at the moment of rushing sales volume and volume price at the end of the year? Is Xiaomi Auto released this year?Yesterday was also Lei Jun’s 54th birthday. Last night, Lei Jun sent a message thanking his friends for their birthday wishes, with a picture that "everything will work out in the end". Because of this point in time and the word "car", netizens, while wishing Lei Jun a happy birthday, also wondered whether the Xiaomi auto conference was coming. The blogger "Game Technology" of Xiaohongshu previously published a document saying that Xiaomi has "finalized" the launch conference of Xiaomi Automobile in Beijing on the 28th. The internal staff of Xiaomi Automobile denied that "the time has not been fixed yet, and we are really considering this time point". There have been more and more official actions of Xiaomi Automobile, such as Xiaomi Automobile Weibo, which has just been opened and the speed of light is off the assembly line, Xiaomi Automobile official website, which has only a few photos, and some Xiaomi Houses in Beijing and Shanghai, which have started to confirm the display of automobiles. According to national business daily, the four major manufacturing workshops (stamping, welding, painting and assembly) in the first-phase factory of Xiaomi Automobile have been built, and small-batch trial production has started, and all the produced cars are parked in the assembly workshop. At the Xiaomi 14 conference, Lei Jun said when answering questions from netizens that Xiaomi Automobile is progressing very smoothly and will be officially listed in the first half of next year. When the time is right, report to everyone. Will this "appropriate time" be the end of this year? In the "Face-to-Face" column, Lei Jun said that he was a little anxious: "I am particularly worried that everyone will not buy it if it doesn’t catch fire; I am even more worried that everyone will buy it. If you wait for 1-2 years, you will definitely be scolded. Can the upcoming Xiaomi car satisfy the majority of rice noodles? And what changes will Xiaomi cars and rice noodles bring to the automobile industry? We will wait and see.
