Ford CEO Jim Farley said in a recent podcast interview that he’s been driving an electric vehicle made by Chinese electronics company Xiaomi and “doesn’t want to give it up.” The model, the Xiaomi SU7, looks similar to a Porsche Panamera sedan and starts at about $30,300, with the top-of-the-line variant going for about $42,100.

CEO Jim Farley explained his intent behind driving the Xiaomi SU7 EV over the past six months in a post on social media on Wednesday. Farley responds: “I try to drive everything we compete against,” Farley said in a post on social media platform X.

If you had to guess what the chief executive officer of the Ford Motor Company used as his daily driver ... well, no matter what you might think, you'd probably be wrong. As it turns out, Ford CEO Jim Farley has been driving around in a Chinese-made Xiaomi SU7 as of late for a little competitive research — and he sure does love it.
