Xiaomi first-gen hybrid car tipped to launch after inaugural electric vehicle

The long-awaited Xiaomi Car is indeed on the road to launch soon, according to the latest reports. However, rather than take a break after the milestone of official certification in its native China for this world-first SU7 series, the OEM is allegedly acting on plans for its successors.

These new reports involve the next 2 Xiaomi vehicles, each with its own rumored code-name. The SU7 was known as Modena; however, one of its most immediate heirs apparently goes by Lemang, while the other is possibly dubbed Kunlun.

The first is thought to be a battery EV (BEV) just like the SU7; however, the second is another matter. It seems Xiaomi's putative Huawei-baiting prototype might be a hybrid rather than an extended-range EV (E-REV) as previously thought. Either way, it is possible that Xiaomi is taking a more diversified approach to its new personal transport category than it might initially have let on.
