After releasing photos of its first car, the Xiaomi SU7, the Chinese company has shown that it has serious plans with future projects. A new member of their design team is designer Chris Bangle.

Chris Bangle is a former employee of BMW, and his main task will be the creation of new Xiaomi cars, with which the company tries to find its place on the domestic and global market as a new and reliable manufacturer of electric cars.

Before Bangle, Xiaomi brought Li Tianyuan to its team who also has experience working on BMW cars. He was the leader of the team that designed the BMW iX.

Xiaomi SU7 should arrive on the market soon, after the company receives approval from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT). The first photos of the blue Xiaomi SU7 were published on the Weibo social network.

The car is 4,997 mm long, 1,963 mm wide with a height of 1,440/1,455 mm, and a wheelbase of 3,000 mm. When it comes to the powertrain, there is no information for now, but some information says that customers will choose between two batteries with a capacity of 73.6 and 101 kWh, and that it will have a range of 800 km. Also, it will support 800V architecture for fast chargers up to 350 kW.
