First images of Xiaomi's new SUV resemble Ferrari
Xiaomi entered the electric car market in 2021 and unveiled its first model, the SU7, in late 2023. The SU7’s design draws clear inspiration from the Porsche Taycan. Shortly before its debut, Xiaomi also hinted at a new luxury vehicle, the "Le Mans," set to expand its premium lineup. Now, leaked images on the Chinese website Mydrivers reveal what is believed to be this luxury SUV, showcasing both its interior and exterior.
Mydrivers describes the vehicle as an SUV, though its low height gives it more of a crossover appearance. While the leaked images show the Le Mans covered in camouflage, it’s evident that Xiaomi is adhering to established design principles. The styling closely resembles the Ferrari Purosangue, reflecting a clear inspiration in its design language.
The interior features a futuristic design and stands out with vibrant colors. A wide screen spans the entire width of the cockpit, situated at the junction of the windshield and dashboard. This setup could potentially replace traditional instrument clusters behind the steering wheel. Instead of a standard door lever, Xiaomi opts for a button-based mechanism to open the doors.
Similar to the SU7, the Le Mans is anticipated to come in two drivetrain options: a single-motor version delivering 220 kW and a dual-motor version producing 495 kW. Prices are expected to range between 250,000 and 300,000 yuan (approximately $34,000 to $41,000), making the Le Mans notably pricier than the SU7, which starts at around $28,000. The exact timeline for the Xiaomi SUV's market launch has yet to be announced.
