Leaked Images of the Xiaomi MS11 Electric Sedan in Production-Ready Form Surface
The upcoming Xiaomi MS11 electric sedan has been caught in leaked images, showcasing the production-ready form of the vehicle. The images show the MS11 with a five-door sedan body style, large five-spoke alloy wheels, flush door handles, a glass roof, and large disc brakes with yellow brake callipers. The front fascia has a large headlamp unit with signature LED DRLs and a sporty front air dam. The rear lighting is split with a horizontal LED light bar running across. The MS11 seems to have taken design cues from the BYD Seal in terms of the overall silhouette and styling of the front and rear lights, and has smoother-flowing lines for a proportionate look.
The MS11 is expected to use either BYD-sourced Blade battery packs that use the LFP technology or an 800V Qilin battery pack from CATL which will support super-fast charging. The prominent bulge at the front of the roof could also house ADAS-related sensors such as LiDAR.
