The "first hit" of Xiaomi Pencheng on the second day of listing: the customer used the throttle as a brake without injury.
In the early morning of September 9, @ Xiaomi dismissed rumors and issued a response on the Internet about the "Xiaomi Pengcheng test drive rushed into the green belt". The response said: On the evening of September 8, a customer made way for the front car when turning at the intersection during a test drive. Due to nervousness, the throttle was mistakenly stepped on when the brake was stepped on and accidentally drove out of the lane. "No one was injured during this process." On the evening of September 8, a netizen posted a live video, saying that a Xiaomi Pengcheng car was suspected of losing control and driving into the green belt when turning at the intersection. As the model involved is the new car just released at the Xiaomi Autumn Flagship New Product Conference on the evening of September 7, the event quickly fermented on the social platform, and the outside world once speculated whether the vehicle was out of control or quality problems. The official statement of Xiaomi identified the cause of the accident as the operational level - "due to nervousness, the throttle was mistaken for the brake", rather than a vehicle failure. Subsequently, the public dashcam screen showed that the accident vehicle encountered the front vehicle during the turning process, then directly deflected to the curb, drove onto the sidewalk and rushed into the green belt before stopping. The screen showed that the accelerator continued to step down, and fortunately, pedestrians were not affected throughout the whole process. The Pengcheng series involved in this incident is a brand-new added-course product line released by Xiaomi Automobile on September 7. That night, Lei Jun released four models of Pengcheng N70 Pro, N70 Max, N90 Max and N90 Max Exploration Edition, with a price range of 209,900-2999,000 yuan. Among them, the N70 Pro is a medium-sized and large five-seater extended-range SUV, with a price of 209,900 yuan; the N70 Max is a large five-seater four-wheel drive extended-range SUV, with a price of 239,900 yuan; the N90 Max is a seven-seater extended-range SUV, with a price of 269,900 yuan; and the N90 Max exploration version with a native design electric lift capsule starts at 299,900 yuan. A test drive accident occurred the day after the release of the new car, making this late-night response a cause for concern. At present, the subsequent handling of the vehicle involved and the specific determination of the accident have not yet been disclosed by the authorities, and we will continue to pay attention to it.
