On June 26, a piece of news about the price and battery life of Xiaomi's first car was revealed on the Internet, which quickly triggered a heated discussion in the industry. According to information circulated on the Internet, the price of Xiaomi's first car is suspected to have been exposed by "Xiao Ai". It is mentioned that the price of the standard version of the model is 149900 yuan, with single rear-drive motor configuration, WLTC mileage of 800km; Pro version of the price of 179900 yuan, four-wheel drive dual motor configuration, WLTC mileage of about 700km.

In response to the above news, Wang Hua, general manager of the public relations department of Xiaomi Group, posted a post on Weibo this afternoon to clarify, "after all, Xiaomi car will be released next year, how can there be a price now?" .

Wang Hua said that Xiao Ai should be in trouble! That information was a conjecture reported by the media in May 2022, and Xiao Ai grabbed it. When someone asked a question a few days ago, Xiao Ai directly fetched the information. Wang Hua stressed: "Little Love is only six years old, and there are still many things she doesn't understand." And said: "artificial intelligence has brought a lot of convenience to our lives, but after all, it is not a real 'human', unable to actively verify whether the information obtained is accurate, to identify false things, and to keep the real things." We will continue to follow Xiaomi car-related news, please continue to follow.

In fact, there has been a lot of news about Xiaomi car manufacturing in the market since Xiaomi Group announced its next car production in March 2021, especially after 2023.

In early January, it was reported online that "Xiaomi car manufacturing has encountered difficulties and Xiaomi car brand has not been approved". Wang Hua responded that the news is not true and there is no claim that the brand needs approval. The following February, the leak of Xiaomi's design documents attracted attention in the auto industry, and then Xiaomi officially announced the outcome of the incident. The partner involved was awarded 1 million yuan in economic compensation, and the whistleblower was also dealt with.

After that, there was news on the Internet that the design effect of Xiaomi's MS11 had been exposed, but the exposure also showed that it was a video screenshot used by the internal review and was not necessarily final.

According to Xiaomi's car-building plan, the first model of Xiaomi is expected to be officially mass-produced in the first half of 2024. The new car will be a sedan model with two versions to choose from. The "ordinary version" model sells for 30-350000, and the "more advanced version" costs about 350000-400000.

As the first work of Xiaomi's cross-border auto circle, Lei Jun has high hopes for it. Lei Jun said that Xiaomi's only way to succeed is to become one of the top five and ship more than 10 million vehicles a year, after Lei Jun revealed that Xiaomi's goal after entering the auto circle is to enter the first camp of the industry in 2024.

Not long ago, Lei Jun, founder, chairman and CEO of Xiaomi Group, announced the results of Xiaomi Group in the first quarter of 2023 and issued an article emphasizing that Xiaomi Group's R & D expenditure in the first quarter was 4.1 billion yuan, an increase of 17.7%, of which 1.1 billion yuan was invested in innovative businesses such as smart electric vehicles. Lei Jun believes that the new business strategy of "attaching equal importance to scale and profit" has achieved results. At the end of May, Xiaomi President Lu Weibing said in an interview that Xiaomi car construction is progressing smoothly and has entered the accelerated stage of research and development. Summer and winter tests will be carried out this summer and winter respectively, and Xiaomi cars will go on sale in the first half of next year as originally planned.

As for the final price and details of the Xiaomi car, it has yet to be officially announced.
