By connecting the hinge seats to the reinforcement plates for the rear floor inner wheel arches, there is no need to reserve space on the C-pillar, nor does it increase the size of the C-pillar, thereby avoiding restrictions on the design seams. Secondly, by setting the hinge seats in the reinforcement plates for the rear floor inner wheel arches, it can effectively meet the installation strength and rigidity requirements of the rear doors. In addition, by setting the hinge seats in the reinforcement plates for the rear floor inner wheel arches, the dimensions of the rear door opening in the front-to-back direction are not affected, and there is no need to increase the vehicle’s wheelbase to meet the ingress and egress requirements.

From the effect of this patent, it seems that the wheelbase of Xiaomi’s first vehicle will not be too large. So, do you have a positive outlook on the future of Xiaomi’s car? Please feel free to leave your comments below for discussion.
