Many folks say electric cars are like washing machines on wheels. Most of the time, that is nonsense. But not with Xiaomi. This Chinese company is, in fact, proud of being a maker of all kinds of consumer electronics, including washers and electric cars. To check it all out, I went to a Xiaomi experience store in the basement of a large shopping mall in Beijing.
This is the Xiaomi SU7, one of the most-buzzed-about new Chinese cars of 2024. The SU7 is a pretty sedan with a sporty sedan. I met this Meteor Blue example at a parking lot near a Xiaomi service center in south Beijing.

This bizarre machine is the Li MEGA, a giant MPV with a wild and polarizing design. Even the color names are different than elsewhere. The one that I saw is painted in Elephant Gray.

This is not some crazy Chinese concept car that somehow ended up in a parking lot. Nope. This is the Baojun KiWi EV, it is very much a production car and one of the wackiest Chinese cars ever. The design is mad, with super short overhangs, tiny wheels, the headlights immediately under the windshield, and bumpers that are fully integrated into the car’s lower body.

Here we have an Aion Y Younger, seen in the Chinese capital Beijing in the summer of 2024. It is painted in a light blue color called “Forever Young” (永远年青), which is a very cool name that matches the car’s moniker.

The Chinese EV market is booming, with new brands launching every day. But not all survive, competition is fierce, prices are down, and consumers can choose between trillions of cars and brands. One brand that didn’t make it was SiTech. I met a white SiTech DEV1 in Beijing.
