Chinese smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi Corp. also plans to shake the automotive industry by launching cutting-edge electric vehicles to rival global brands like Tesla Inc. Recently, Xiaomi launched a highly advanced Xiaomi YU7 at 253,500 yuan (Approx. AED 129,500).

The pricing structure of Xiaomi YU7 is also in line with analysts’ expectations and comparatively lower than the showroom price of the Tesla Model Y.
