Xiaomi EV signs first German dealers, to test in 4 countries

This is a concrete signal that Xiaomi is moving from domestic EV success to a serious European push, rather than just floating expansion plans. Signing dealers in Germany, the most competitive and demanding auto market, suggests confidence in product quality and regulatory readiness. The testing across four countries, including winter and high-performance tracks, indicates a methodical approach to local conditions. The open question is whether Xiaomi can replicate its China pricing and brand appeal against entrenched European players and Chinese rivals already there, and whether dealer networks will be enough to build service trust quickly.
