Xiaomi is preparing to enter right-hand-drive (RHD) markets in the first half of 2028. The company has started recruiting automotive professionals in Sydney, Australia, to support its international growth.
Job listings in Australia include roles for a Senior Legal Counsel and a Product Manager for International Installment Finance. These positions will focus on vehicle sales, after-sales services, and regulatory matters.
This move follows a global roadmap shared by Xiaomi President Lu Weibing in April 2026. The company plans to debut in Europe during the second half of 2027 before targeting RHD regions. Potential markets under consideration include Australia, the UK, Japan, and New Zealand.
Xiaomi currently produces the SU7 sedan and YU7 SUV for the Chinese market. The company has not confirmed which models will be adapted for RHD regions or which specific countries will be included in the rollout. Nepal pricing and availability have not been announced.
