BEIJING — Chinese consumer electronics company Xiaomi on Thursday detailed plans to enter China’s oversaturated electric vehicle market and compete with automaker giants Tesla and Porsche with a car model it says it spent more than 10 billion yuan ($1.4 billion) to develop.

北京——中国消费电子公司小米周四（在小米汽车技能发布会上）详细先容了进入中国已经饱和的电动汽车市场的操持，并表示将与汽车制造商巨子特斯拉和保时捷通过一款汽车来竞争。
该公司表示，他们花费了超过100亿元公民币（合14亿美元）来开拓这款汽车。

The company’s car model, known as Xiaomi SU7, “is in trial production and it will hit the domestic market in a few months,” CEO Lei Jun said in a Tuesday post on the X social media platform, formerly known as Twitter. “The price has not been finalized yet.”

小米汽车型号被称为小米SU7，据CEO雷军周二在X社交媒体平台上的帖子称，该车目前正在试生产中，并将于几个月内在海内市场上推出。
价格尚未终极确定。

Pronounced “Sue Qi” in Mandarin, the Xiaomi SU7 beats Porsche’s Taycan and Tesla’s Model S on acceleration and other metrics, Lei said during a three-hour presentation Thursday.

小米汽车型号被称为小米SU7，在普通话中发音为“苏七”。
雷军在周四长达三小时的发布会上表示，该车在加速度和其它指标上击败（超越）了保时捷的泰肯和特斯拉的Model S。

He laid out bold ambitions to become an industry leader, including in autonomous driving and noted that the SU7 design team previously worked at BMW and Mercedes-Benz.

他提出了成为（汽车）行业领导者的大胆年夜志，包括在自动驾驶领域。
他还指出，SU7设计团队之前曾在宝马和梅赛德斯-奔驰事情过。

Sales are due to begin in 2024, after more than three years of development — during which electric vehicles have taken off in China’s highly competitive market, and domestic automakers have begun to differentiate their products through ambitious offerings of car-compatible tech.

这款车将于2024年开始发卖，此前经由了三年多的研发。
在此期间，电动汽车在中国竞争激烈的市场中迅速崛起，海内汽车制造商也开始通过供应与汽车兼容的高科技产品来区分他们的产品。

This is an area of potential advantage for Xiaomi, which is best known for its smartphones and home appliances and previously said it wants to create a ”‘Human x Car x Home’ smart ecosystem.”

这是小米的一个潜在上风领域，该公司以智好手机和家用电器最为有名，此前曾表示希望打造“人车家”智能生态圈。

The SU7 is integrated with Xiaomi’s smartphones and internet-connected home appliances, Lei announced Thursday. He emphasized the company’s efforts to ensure data privacy among the devices and create a car that surpasses U.S. safety standards for rear-end collisions.

雷军周四宣告，SU7将与小米的智好手机和互联网家电整合。
他强调了该公司为确保设备间数据隐私所做的努力，并表示将打造一款超越美国汽车行业追尾碰撞安全标准的汽车。

Lei said the vehicle will also be compatible with Apple’s iPhone, iPad, CarPlay and AirPlay. The U.S. giant has yet to release a car despite about such plans.

雷军表示，这款车还将兼容苹果的iPhone、iPad、CarPlay和AirPlay。
只管外界普遍预测苹果公司将推出汽车，但这家美国巨子尚未发布任何汽车产品。
