Is "Farami" becoming a reality?

On the evening of June 20th, spy photos of Xiaomi's first SUV model during road testing leaked, attracting a lot of onlookers.

From the pictures, the new car is very similar to the previous conceptual renderings, resembling Ferrari's first SUV model, the Purosangue, which has a price tag of up to 4.988 million yuan.

According to previous news, Xiaomi's second car model may be unveiled by the end of this year and start selling in 2025. The third model is positioned as a budget-friendly model priced around 150,000 yuan, with a possible hybrid version, expected to be officially launched in 2026.

During the 30th anniversary symposium of China's Internet industry held in April this year, Lei Jun first recommended Xiaomi's SUV to Zhou Hongyi, and many netizens expressed great anticipation at the time.

After spending three years building the first car, Xiaomi's cars are accelerating their market capture by releasing a new model every year to capture different market segments.

In addition, details such as side cameras, yellow calipers, and five-spoke wheels can be seen, which are very similar to Xiaomi SU7's design.

The side of the car adopts a depressed roofline and raised side window water cuts, with a not-too-large side window proportion, paired with large-sized five-spoke wheels and yellow brake calipers, giving a sporty look.

Combined with the design elements such as the new car's frameless rearview mirror and frameless doors, this model is likely to reduce wind resistance, similar to Xiaomi SU7.

Meanwhile, a set of spy photos also revealed two different configurations of the model, one with a goose-egg-shaped lidar on the roof, similar to Xiaomi SU7's lidar design, and the other without lidar for non-autonomous driving models.

The rear of the car does not reveal many details, obscured by thick camouflage, but it can be faintly seen that the new car likely continues Xiaomi SU7's taillight design.
