Xiaomi Shifts Gears: AI at the Heart of the Smart Car

Xiaomi places the automobile at the center of its “Human × Car × Home” ecosystem, with AI envisioned as the backbone of new mobility.

During the Mobile World Congress 2026, Xiaomi clearly positioned smart mobility at the heart of its strategy. After making a notable entry into the electric vehicle market, the company is now accelerating the integration of artificial intelligence into the automotive experience, closely linked to its connected ecosystem.

At its booth, the brand showcases the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra, a technological showcase of its ambitions in smart transportation. More than just a high-performance electric sedan, this model embodies the convergence of consumer electronics and automotive. The embedded interface relies on the HyperAI architecture, designed to ensure a seamless continuity between the smartphone, smart home, and vehicle.

The guiding idea: to make the car a natural extension of the personal digital environment. Predictive navigation, intelligent energy management, automatic synchronization of user preferences, and contextual voice interaction fit into this logic of systemic integration.

From Virtual to Real: Vision Gran Turismo

Xiaomi also presented internationally for the first time the concept of Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo, originally developed for the Gran Turismo franchise at the invitation of its creator Kazunori Yamauchi.

While this concept car remains experimental, it serves as a laboratory to explore advanced integration of AI into design and driving experience. Active aerodynamics, an immersive cockpit, and intelligent interface illustrate Xiaomi’s desire to merge performance, connectivity, and intuitive interaction.

Beyond the displayed models, Xiaomi advocates a comprehensive approach: connecting the vehicle to the entire “Human × Car × Home” ecosystem. With a hybrid edge-cloud architecture and collaboration with Google Gemini, AI operates at a system-wide level, rather than just at the application level.

In practical terms, this paves the way for integrated mobility scenarios: automatically preconditioning the home based on estimated arrival time, energy synchronization between household charging stations and vehicles, or continuity of voice interactions from one device to another.
