Meizu, a known name in the smartphone market, is stepping into the world of electric vehicles (EVs) with the upcoming release of its DreamCar MX, set to debut in Q1 2024. The official announcement about the car follows Meizu’s recent acquisition by Geely, a Chinese automotive giant with a strong presence in the electric vehicle sector.
In a brief Weibo post, Meizu teased the
DreamCar MX and revealed that it would be the first EV to leverage the power of
community-driven design. True to its name, DreamCar MX will allow the Meizu
community to shape various details of the vehicle, including its painting and
interior color choices. This approach positions DreamCar MX as a unique and
personalized offering in the EV market. This collaboration with Geely suggests
that Meizu’s venture into electric vehicles is backed by strong industry
insights and technological advancements.
Meizu’s commitment to creating a seamless
tech ecosystem extends beyond electric vehicles. In other words, Flyme Auto is
what brought Meizu to the automotive industry through the partnership with
Geely. During a recent conference in Shanghai, the company introduced its Flyme
Auto software, designed explicitly for in-car entertainment and connectivity.
Flyme Auto simplifies the syncing process,
ensuring that users can effortlessly transition between their smartphones and
the car’s dashboard. The software’s unique features include the ability to cast
the phone’s screen onto the car’s interface, enhancing the overall user
experience.
