Final words:
The first 4 models of Xiaomi Auto (SU7, SU7 Ultra, YU7 and YU7 GT) have actually successfully established a young and sporty brand image. However, the upcoming Xiaomi Pengcheng N70/N90 is almost a 180-degree turn, entering the household SUV market. Against the background of the big explosion of "9-series flagship" SUVs in the past more than a year, homogeneous configurations such as "refrigerator, color TV, large sofa" have become necessities. In order to stand out, tracks such as technology, size, configuration, intelligence, range, energy replenishment and price have basically been occupied. Now the household SUV market can be said to be the most unfriendly track for "newcomers".
Supported by the core empowerment of the Kunlun architecture, the Xiaomi Pengcheng N70/N90 takes the flat floor and the fully adjustable slide rail system as the core, and realizes the multi-form variable cockpit around the diversified travel needs of family travel, business commuting, leisure travel and other scenarios, which is really eye-catching enough. Then, how much impact will their arrival have on the industry, and whether the official price will bring surprises, let us wait and see. (Text / Autohome Guo Chen)
