Recently, a video on the Internet exposed the Xiaomi SUV being tested in China. Believed to be codenamed MX11, the car has a sporty, low-lying SUV design. This reflects the SU7 sedan and inherits the design concept in terms of styling.
Presumably, the car in the video is a high-spec version due to its lidar. With the SU7, only the Pro and Max versions are equipped with Lidar. If the new car follows a similar equipment specification level as the sedan, then we can assume that the test car captured is dual-motor and uses 800V architecture. The Lidar unit itself looks very similar to the one used by the Xiaomi SU7, and if that is the case, it is a 128-line unit.
At the front, the car looks very slender and may retain the shape of the SU7. On the sides, the window line rises as it reaches the rear. This is mirrored by the steeply sloping roof line at the back, which smoothly runs into the rear. Notably, the car seen testing uses the same 5-spoke alloys previously seen on other spy shots.
Commentators have already been very keen to point out that the Xiaomi MX11 has proportions similar to the Ferrari Purosangue. Xiaomi’s first car very obviously followed the design of the Porsche Taycan, and it seems that the MX11 may do this once again. Lei Jun, Xiaomi’s CEO, has said that he aimed to produce a dream car for the masses with the SU7.
The previous spy shots of the MX11 have spurred multiple renderings on the Internet of what people think the Xiaomi SUV might look like. However, at the moment, real details are thin on the ground. Batteries, however, are expected to be sourced from Sunwoda, which contrasts with the SU7, which uses batteries from BYD in the Standard and CATL in the Pro and Max. If this is true, then it could suggest that the MX11 might be even more competitively priced.
The Xiaomi SUV is expected to be launched on the market in 2025.
