According to Lei Jun's previous research on social platforms, Xiaomi has basically determined the price range of the first model. Lei Jun said a few days ago that Xiaomi had already identified the first model in terms of vehicle positioning, but Xiaomi changed the first model to a pending state because the models with high votes on the Internet were SUV and sedan. However, in terms of pricing, it is probably between 100000 and 300000, and for the sake of rice noodle voting, the most popular one is still within 100000 yuan.
