Xiaomi cars haven’t been launched yet, but Xiaomi cars have already exposed their first crash. There are pictures and the truth: Xiaomi has not officially responded to this incident. Judging from the image scenes currently exposed, the test car accidentally had an accident in the snow scene, causing the right headlight to be smashed, and the front bumper and side fenders were also damaged.
Xiaomi car crashes for the first time
An informed blogger said that the main reason was that snow caused the road to freeze and the vehicle did not have time to replace its snow tires, so the Xiaomi Mi SU7 rear-ended the car in front.
And judging from the detailed information, the accident area should be the Henan area where it snowed for three consecutive days recently. Originally it was not a snowy road condition, but unexpected weather conditions caused Xiaomi SU7 to suffer.
So a rear-end collision,It boils down to road conditions caused by bad weather., it shouldn’t be a joke made by anxious fans:
In fact, the policy price of Xiaomi SU7 has already been leaked: 361,400 yuan.
However, Wang Hua, general manager of Xiaomi’s public relations department, also responded publicly that the price and selling price were ultimately unrelated.
Of course, the first crash of Xiaomi SU7 still attracted a lot of attention.
For example, it is said that Xiaomi SU7 is safe and will only lose some skin if it is bumped.
There are also comments that question the "coincidence" of the first collision. The collision was a collision, but it was a wonderful collision. It made the collision topical, and more importantly, it reflected safety.
In fact, coincidentally, this "first hit" seems to be contagious as well.
Because before the Xiaomi SU7, there were also new cars that were about to be launched by new car manufacturers. During the test, there were "first crashes" - fortunately, it was not serious.
The first hit comes earlier than the first hit
Also recently, a video posted by a netizen showed that an MPV hit a street light on the way to the train station. Although the vehicle has camouflage patterns, the overall appearance is so recognizable that it should be the ideal MEGA for "land high-speed rail heads".
The video shows that the front of the vehicle was also slightly damaged. At present, Li Auto has not responded to this, and no blogger with knowledge of the matter has disclosed the cause of the accident.
Earlier, another popular model in 2023, the Wenjie M9, caused more controversy due to well-known reasons, and the official response to the accident was official.
An insider said that the incident took place in Chengdu. At that time, the Wenjie M9 had not yet been officially launched, and it was speculated that it might have been an accident during a test drive by the media.
However, in the Wenjie M9 accident, the active safety system was mainly questioned, because earlier, Huawei had said that it would be difficult to crash.
In a later statement, Cyrus also took the initiative to explain the situation: due to the driver's intervention during the collision, the human driver had higher authority than the smart driver, which caused the smart driver to exit, causing a rear-end collision.
But in any case, these first collision accidents have attracted great attention, and they have also triggered a certain degree of "conspiracy theories" before they were launched for sale.
On another level, it shows the volume of China's auto market in the past two years.
From car manufacturers and practitioners to potential consumers and netizens, the time point of attention to new cars continues to move forward from the launch conference, and they begin to pay attention to various events throughout the car's life cycle.
This is a good thing for the prosperity of China's auto market.
But safety is no small matter. Even if the "first crash" in the testing stage and pre-launch stage makes a new car appear "safe", the factors behind it may be complex and diverse...
For consumers and car owners, they still need to be safe on the road, drive in a civilized and cautious manner, and avoid any possible accidents.

Finally, there are two new developments about Xiaomi cars.
First, Lin Bin, co-founder and vice chairman of Xiaomi, has returned home early for the Chinese New Year, and he drove his Xiaomi SU7 home.
As we all know, Lin Bin is from Guangdong. This time he drove Xiaomi SU7 all the way from Beijing to Shenzhen. He said that the whole journey took more than 50 hours and the mileage was 2,320 kilometers.
Judging from the pictures posted by Lin Bin, there should be three people in the group taking turns driving... However, it was not disclosed whether there is intelligent driving, and to what extent it is.
What was unexpected was that just after Lin Bin said that he had charged the car 5 times, netizens calculated the energy consumption and speculated that if he charged the car 5 times at this mileage, the discount on the battery life of the car driven by Lin Bin would be a bit large, and he was still driving all the way south.
According to this battery life achievement rate, Xiaomi cars cannot reach the "King of Winter Battery Life".
Second, Lei Jun announced that in order to focus more on Xiaomi cars, Xiaomi President Lu Weibing will also serve as Xiaomi brand general manager.Future Xiaomi mobile phone conferences will be given by Lu Weibing.
In other words, Lei Jun can now safely take over the work related to Xiaomi mobile phones.
Lei Jun’s current focus will mainly shift to Xiaomi Automobile.
This also means that the automobile market will become more lively. The smartphone war of the past ten years is about to be staged again in the automotive field. Lei Jun and Yu Chengdong are about to go head-to-head again.
Oh, right. In the latest sales data for January, Wenjie has surpassed its ideals and taken the top sales position among new forces.
Yu Chengdong became more modest and now calls himself "Yu Xiaozui".
