What Do We Know About Xiaomi’s MX11?
This would also mean that the upcoming vehicle isn’t exactly an SUV: it is more of a crossover between a sports car and a raised hatchback. Further, the car is longer than one would expect, which is another similarity with the Ferrari. We already have some details about the upcoming electric SUV.
For instance, it will have a similar front fascia as the Xiaomi SU7. Further, it could also feature a similar powertrain, including a 220kW electric motor (rear axle), which generates 400 Nm of peak torque. The company might sell the vehicle in double-motor versions, wherein the front motor could generate 338 Nm of torque while the rear could generate 500 Nm of torque.
For now, this is the extent of information available about the upcoming Xiaomi SUV. The company might reveal more details about the car at its upcoming Xiaomi 15 launch event, scheduled for the end of October 2024.
