The Xiaomi car is already in Spain, although not in the form, conditions and deadlines ‘dreamed of’, luckily for Elon Musk

The dream has faded more and more as time has passed, but there was a moment when everything seemed to be ready for Xiaomi’s electric car to enter the scene in Europe.

A promising and aspiring vehicle to fight against teslawhich is currently only sold in Chinaand it looks like it will continue to be that way for a while.

It has arrived, but it is not what we expected

They have confirmed it repeatedly, basically saying that they have no intention of launching it in foreign markets. “in the coming years”and that gives a lot of time and is key to knowing that it will not be in the short term.

Just these days it has been Spainwalking through the streets of Madrid inside a glass dome and on a truck, basically because it is not approved to circulate on European soil.

It does so on the occasion of Xiaomi’s anniversary in Spain, the seventh year in our country, which is possibly what the manufacturer’s country manager in Spain and Portugal missed at the time, when he assured a Spanish media that we would be one of the first. in seeing the Xiaomi SU7.

Some words that could be misinterpreted, as they were, and that opened the door to dreaming about the long-awaited arrival of the Chinese car, of which 100,000 units have already been sold in China.

The competition must fear it

It is not clear if Xiaomi had already decided not to launch it this year in Europe, or if the new tariffs are the reason why the Asian firm has backed out. We may never know the truth, but the truth is that this year we will not have it on our continent.

This reality has surely made the competition breathe, since brands like Tesla, and all European ones, would see the arrival of a Xiaomi SU7 as a problem, which in China sells for around 28,000 euros in exchange.

It is available in versions of 300 and 670 HPin addition to the option Ultra of more than 1,500 HP of power, and announces a autonomy in Chinese CLTC cycle of up to 830 kilometers.
