- Xiaomi posts four Europe after-sales roles to build warranty, parts and service networks ahead of 2027 launch.
- Lei Jun confirms European entry in 2027 with premium SU7 series and YU7 variant, starting in Germany.
- Firm accelerates local ops and testing—Nürburgring prototypes and hires from Tesla signal serious market push.
On July 15, Xiaomi EV posted four new Europe-focused job openings on LinkedIn as it continues to strengthen its localized operations ahead of its planned overseas expansion.
The latest recruitment focuses on building the company’s after-sales network, covering warranty management, technical training, customer complaint handling, as well as spare parts supply chain and inventory management.
The new positions represent another step in Xiaomi’s efforts to build local operational capabilities in Europe, following earlier recruitment for engineering, vehicle certification and logistics roles.
Beyond Europe, Xiaomi also posted a vacancy for an Automotive Government Affairs Manager in Malaysia.
According to the job description, the position will oversee government relations, policy communication and regulatory compliance for Xiaomi EV in the country.
This role serves as the company’s primary liaison with local authorities, suggesting that Xiaomi is also laying the groundwork for its entry into Southeast Asia.
Xiaomi has steadily expanded its overseas automotive workforce in recent months.
The company has previously advertised numerous Europe-based positions on LinkedIn covering research and development, chassis calibration, intelligent driving, vehicle homologation, logistics and delivery, channel development and government compliance.
In April, Xiaomi hired Dieter Lorenz, formerly Tesla’s Senior Manager for Central Europe Delivery Operations, to oversee European delivery and logistics, accelerating the buildout of its local operating network.
In July, Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun confirmed in a post on X that Xiaomi EV will officially enter the European market in 2027, with Germany serving as its first destination.
According to the company’s plan, the initial lineup will include the SU7 series and the high-performance YU7 variant. Xiaomi intends to position the brand in the premium segment rather than competing on price.
To meet European regulatory requirements, the company is adapting its vehicles to local emissions standards and intelligent driving regulations.
Xiaomi has also been conducting road tests in Germany and validating vehicle performance at the Nürburgring.
Meanwhile, Xiaomi already has an established consumer presence in Europe.
Its smartphone business has built a network of more than 300 Xiaomi Stores across key markets including Germany, France, Italy and Spain.
Those retail outlets could eventually support Xiaomi’s automotive business by providing sales channels and an existing customer base as the company enters the European market.
Separately, automotive media outlet Autoevolution recently photographed a heavily modified Xiaomi SU7 prototype testing at the Nürburgring.
The vehicle featured a larger rear wing and rear diffuser, and is believed to be an even more extreme version of the SU7 Ultra.
According to the report, the model could be named the SU7 Ultra Extreme and may produce more than 2,000 horsepower.
