CroatiaXiaomi has rapidly transitioned from a technology giant into a serious automotive manufacturer, having already delivered over 700,000 vehicles in China. The company now aims to expand into the European market, starting with Germany, by partnering with established automotive dealers such as LUEG Mobility GmbH and Emil Frey Germany. Unlike its direct-to-consumer approach in China, Xiaomi plans to rely on traditional dealership networks in Europe to build trust and allow customers to test vehicles before purchase. However, Xiaomi faces challenges due to potential high tariffs imposed by the European Union on Chinese electric vehicles, which could limit its pricing flexibility and competitiveness in the European market. Despite these hurdles, Xiaomi's strong brand recognition in China provides a foundation for its expansion, though success in Europe remains uncertain.
