Some users were stunned by the brand crossover, asking: 'Why am I getting ads for Xiaomi cars now?' Another added, 'The CEO at the Xiaomi water company watching the sales skyrocket today,' mixing humor with real surprise at the company's growing reach.
The Xiaomi SU7 Ultra, which debuted at Mobile World Congress 2025, is making headlines for more than just its power. With sleek aesthetics, vibrant color options, and a cabin full of tech, the car was clearly designed to turn heads — and with IShowSpeed in the driver's seat, it's done exactly that.
'It seems Xiaomi didn't just make this car to be driven,' another post read. 'They designed it to turn heads and launch IShowSpeed into his typical over-the-top/scream-on-top-of-his-voice reaction.'
