Mark Your Calendars: 2027 Will Change the Way We Drive
Chinese tech giant Xiaomi has officially ended the guessing game—Europe, get ready to see the company’s very first electric vehicle roll on your streets in 2027. That’s right, the smartphone maker that keeps undercutting Apple and Samsung is now gunning for Tesla and Volkswagen.
What We Know So Far
The company’s top brass confirmed the timeline during a private briefing earlier this week. While they kept technical details under wraps, Xiaomi reps said the car will launch “with full European homologation,” meaning it’ll meet every EU safety and emissions rule out of the box. Translation: it should hit dealerships without the red-tape delays that have tripped up some newcomers.
Why Europe? Why Now?
Europe has become the hottest battlefield for EV makers thanks to juicy subsidies, sky-high fuel prices, and consumers who love anything that screams “new tech.” Xiaomi clearly thinks it can repeat the same disruptor playbook it used with phones—pack premium specs into a price tag that makes rivals sweat.
What’s Next?
Expect teaser campaigns to start popping up late 2026. Xiaomi hinted it will reveal the final design and key specs at a dedicated event in Barcelona—same city where Mobile World Congress kicks off every year. Until then, we’ll be refreshing our feeds non-stop.
