With a length of only 2.92 meters and a wheelbase of 1.94 meters, the mini electric car is highly practical during maneuvers, due to its turning radius of just 4.2 meters and its 12-inch (30.48 cm) wheels. In addition, the rear seat can be “removed,” allowing the trunk to offer a luggage capacity of 741 liters.

There are two motorization options, always with front-wheel drive, which can vary from 27 horsepower or 41 horsepower and 11.2 kgfm of torque.

The Wuling Mini EV is sold with two types of batteries, either NMC or LFP, with a range between 120 and 300 km on the CLTC cycle, depending on the battery or motor configuration. After this model’s arrival in the Chinese market, several competitors rushed to launch similar vehicles, such as the Chery QQ Ice Cream, among many others.

As it is difficult for companies in China to keep new products a secret, real photos of Xiaomi’s first electric car, a giant in the smartphone sector, leaked through the social network Weibo.

The leaked model is very similar to the Seal, from Chinese BYD, one of the largest brands in China. Its headlights are also reminiscent of those of the McLaren 720S and the taillights of Aston Martin. The unit shown in the photos on the social network features a panoramic glass roof, large wheels with Brembo brakes, and the company’s logo in the center of the rims.
