Emir BardakçıWell, after the phenomenal success of Xiaomi SU7, here comes another automotive venture from Xiaomi, most expected-the Xiaomi SUV. Early rumors revealed a design with a rarely-seen double-door layout, and the interest in this giant of an automaker was high. However, the latest spy shots tell another story, and this design will not be featured universally, if at all.
Latest Spy Photos: A Closer Look
In the latest spy shots of the Xiaomi SUV, the body is still heavily camouflaged. However, the headline here is that the rear door opens conventionally; in other words, the double-door design rumored to be available on the model does not feature-to put it precisely, not on every variant of the model, at least.
- Observed Detail:
- The axis for opening the rear door is at the B-pillar, opposed to the reverse opening mechanism commonly seen in double-door configurations. A staff member was observed to get into the rear compartment to confirm that normal use was being made of the rear door.
Design Aesthetic: Sporty and Unique
The upcoming Xiaomi SUV seems to break most conventional SUV molds, with a design one would more correctly define as that of a sporty station wagon, thanks to the following reasons:
- Slender Front Profile: It points out a low, streamlined body that gives the car an aggressive and sporty look.
- Light Design Taillights are shaped like Saturn’s rings, continuing the futuristic design language introduced with the Xiaomi SU7.
- Sporty Character: The general design is focused more on being more aerodynamic and sleek in profile-hinting toward ahigh-performance edge.
Expected Launch Timeline
According to an insider report shared by Caijing Magazine, it would appear that the Xiaomi SUV will make its debut between February and March of 2025, in line with the strategy of Xiaomi, which is predicted to establish the brand as a force that will contend in the electric vehicle market.
Xiaomi SUV: Driving A New Milestone
Xiami positions the SUV as a sequel to the SU7, with elements to make it appeal to an even wider audience. The sporty aesthetics, the lights, and everything Xiaomi brought into this car raise high expectations for this upcoming release. Stay tuned for more information as specifications, pricing, and variants on Xiaomi’s SUV continue to unravel.
