Xiaomi Auto, legally Xiaomi Automobile Co Ltd, is a Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer headquartered in Beijing.

As of 2025, Xiaomi Auto has a market capitalisation of approximately US$135.2 billion. It is a subsidiary of Chinese consumer electronics company Xiaomi. Founded in 2021 by Xiaomi founder and chairman Lei Jun, the company mainly develops and manufactures electric vehicles.

In January 2021, Lei Jun received a call informing him that Xiaomi had been sanctioned by the United States. During an emergency meeting with the board of directors, someone raised the question of what would happen to Xiaomi's 30.000 or 40.000 employees if the company's mobile phone business could no longer continue. This led to Xiaomi's plan to diversify into car manufacturing. Lei Jun then received strong recommendations from his friends, such as Nio CEO William Li and XPeng CEO He Xiaopeng to enter the automotive industry. He acknowledged that the transition into smart electric vehicles was an inevitable trend.

On March 30, 2021, Xiaomi announced that would establish a wholly owned subsidiary dedicated to the intelligent electric vehicle (EV) business. The initial investment for this venture was set at 10 billion Chinese yuan, with an expected total investment of 10 billion US dollars over the next 10 years. Lei Jun, the CEO of the group, would also serve as the CEO of the intelligent electric vehicle business. On September 1, 2021, Xiaomi Automobile Co., Ltd. was officially established.

On November 27, 2021, the Municipal Government of Beijing and Xiaomi officially signed a cooperation agreement, formally announcing Xiaomi Automobile's establishment in the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone. Xiaomi Automobile plans to build a two-phase vehicle factory with a cumulative annual production capacity of 300.000 vehicles. The production capacities for the first and second phases are 150.000 vehicles each. The first car is scheduled to roll off the production line in the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone in 2024, marking the commencement of mass production.

On 28 December 2023, Xiaomi has unveiled its first electric car, the SU7.
