In keeping with the pictures posted on social media, the primary electrical Xiaomi has a moderately uninspiring title – MS11. Marks and Spencer? Or the medical situation, MS? The Modena codename that was given by Xiaomi to its first EV clearly wasn’t going to outlive. Let’s put the banter apart and deal with the precise automobile.
What we now have here’s a moderately good trying sedan, it’s not a 5-door hatchback however a sporty trying 4-door electrical automobile. As it’s with the whole lot as of late discovered on the Web, we must be cautious earlier than claiming that is the true deal. There may be an terrible lot of affect from BYD Seal.

Simply as we anticipated, Xiaomi MS11 isn’t going to be a revolutionary automobile, not within the design division. Xiaomi performs o conservative recreation right here and can deal with expertise and for that to work, the design must be accepted by as giant a bunch of patrons as attainable. The automobile appears to be like strong, it appears to be like prefer it has alot of efficiency hiding beneath that pores and skin, which is strictly the design Audi has perfected over the many years.
Huge wheels, efficiency tires and Wilwood brakes
The corporate will journey on its established model and many individuals will go for the MS11 anticipating to search out the identical Xiaomi values we all know from its merchandise – top quality, ease of use, intelligent capabilities and pleasing design.
