China giant announces its first electric car

As in China it is difficult for companies to keep the news a secret, real photos of the first electric car from Xiaomi, a giant Chinese company in the smartphone sector, were leaked through the social network Weibo.

Photos of a real prototype of the model, which was named after Xiaomi MS11, were shared without camouflage painting by a microblog user, revealing a little more about the model's design, which has already been seen disguised in tests.

The leaked model is very similar to the Seal, by the Chinese BYD, one of the biggest brands in China.
