BEIJING – Chinese smartphone company Xiaomi announced Tuesday that it would officially launch its long-awaited electric car on March 28.
The company claimed in a social media post that its SU7 electric car will be “delivered as soon as it hits the market,” according to CNBC’s translation of the post, which was written in Chinese.
The post said the company was opening the waiting list for 59 stores in 29 cities in China.
Xiaomi revealed the exterior and technical features of the vehicle at the end of December, but did not mention a price or a specific delivery date.
Last month, Xiaomi President Weibing Lu told CNBC that the company is targeting the premium segment with the car and hinted that deliveries could start as early as the second quarter.
While the company unveiled the car to an international audience for the first time at the Mobile World Congress Barcelona, Lu said it would likely be at least another two or three years before Xiaomi starts selling the vehicle abroad.
