Xiaomi will show its first electric car at the presentation of the flagship Xiaomi 14

The first Xiaomi electric car will be presented in the fall along with the new flagship smartphone Xiaomi 14. About it reported various Chinese media.

The car is called Modena. According to sources, trial production has already begun in Beijing, in which 50 copies are made every week.

Rumors about the imminent release of new items indirectly confirms reliable information on the search for factory personnel. It is known that Xiaomi is now looking for about 100 people for this direction. The selection is carried out quickly, but strictly - several people with experience in Mercedes and Tesla have already failed, a person familiar with the situation said. He also said that large-scale recruitment should begin at the end of this or early next year, when mass production is expected to start.

Earlier, spy shots of the Xiaomi sedan also appeared on the Internet. One version is supposedly equipped with a triple 101 kWh battery and provides up to 800 kilometers of autonomous travel. It is expected that the Modena will cost 200,000 yuan (approximately 2,640,000 rubles) and will become the main competitor to mid-budget electric cars - Tesla Model 3, BYD Seal and Deepal SL03.
