According to reports,German auto parts platform Autohelden announced that it will sell Xiaomi SU7 to the German and European markets through third-party imports before China's Xiaomi cars officially enter Europe, and will provide a three-year or 120,000-kilometer warranty.


According to reports, Autohelden not only introduces Xiaomi SU7, but also simultaneously introduces Chinese brand models such as Jikrypton, Jietu, and Avita. The platform is very ambitious and plans to sell approximately 50,000 Chinese electric vehicles in Europe during its first full year of operation and to establish as many as 100 sales outlets in Germany.

In order to dispel consumers' concerns about unofficial imported cars, Autohelden promises to provide a three-year or 120,000-kilometer warranty and rely on its existing parts and repair partner network to provide after-sales services.

but,Since Xiaomi has not yet officially launched SU7 in Europe, this means that Autohelden’s import plan is essentially a third-party parallel import rather than an officially authorized distribution by the brand.

If it is officially launched by Xiaomi, it means that Xiaomi will provide the original vehicle warranty, European vehicle model certification, OTA upgrade diagnosis, recall response and original spare parts supply.

Although independent importation allows consumers to get the car earlier, the warranty obligation is actually transferred to the importer. If there is a dispute about the battery, electric drive, assisted driving or body, the buyer will contact Autohelden instead of Xiaomi.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that Xiaomi Auto officially plans to enter the European market in 2027, and Autohelden’s cutting-off behavior has made Xiaomi dissatisfied.

According to the report,A Xiaomi spokesperson confirmed to German automotive magazine Automobilwoche that the company reserves the right to take legal action against Autohelden.

Autohelden insists it has taken all necessary steps to avoid legal disputes, explaining that its vehicles are sourced through middlemen in China, with some even coming directly from Xiaomi.

Although Autohelden exports Xiaomi cars to Europe in advance, which is beneficial to both parties, Xiaomi is also worried that due to the lack of official dealer network and after-sales service, any problems with these vehicles may damage Xiaomi's brand image in the European market.
