Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi unveiled its first electric car and immediately announced that it aims to become one of the world’s top five automakers.
The company’s CEO, Lei Jun, described the sedan, called (SU7), as containing “superior electric motor” technology.
“Through hard work over the next 15 to 20 years, we will become one of the world’s top five automakers, and strive to advance China’s overall auto industry,” he said during the car’s unveiling ceremony.
He added that these plans include manufacturing a “dream car similar to Porsche and Tesla.”
The SUV7 is also expected to attract customers due to its common operating system with popular Xiaomi phones and other electronic devices. Its drivers will have seamless access to the company’s existing suite of mobile applications.
The new car is issued in two versions, one with a driving range of up to 668 kilometers on a single charge and the other with a driving range of up to 800 kilometers.
The company has not announced prices yet. The cost “will be a little high indeed, but it’s a cost that everyone believes is justified,” Lai said.
The company’s CEO said that the car has fast charging capabilities at low temperatures and is equipped with advanced technology that allows it to recognize obstacles under difficult conditions such as falling snow.
