On August 3rd， according to a report from Kuaitech， Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun posted on Weibo， stating， “It’s been raining a lot in many places recently， so we’ve prepared an umbrella for our Xiaomi car owners.”
This umbrella is the Xiaomi Life Sunny Umbrella in Lightning Yellow. It will be available for purchase on the Xiaomi Car App starting August 4th at 10:00 AM. The price is set at 169 yuan， and it can also be redeemed using 1690积分 (points). This thoughtful offering highlights Xiaomi’s commitment to providing practical and integrated accessories for its vehicle owners， reflecting a growing trend among automakers to extend their brand experience into everyday lifestyle products.
The umbrella features a two-tone design that matches the car’s color scheme， with a custom black exterior and a custom yellow handle. This attention to detail in color coordination can enhance the sense of ownership and brand loyalty among Xiaomi car users， making the accessory feel like a natural extension of their vehicle.
The interior of the umbrella canopy is in Lightning Yellow， offering UPF50+ sun protection. The canopy is treated with a high-density water-repellent coating， allowing water droplets to be shaken off instantly for quick drying. The inclusion of UPF 50+ protection signifies a focus on user well-being， going beyond just rain protection to offer comprehensive weather utility.
Additionally， the umbrella handle is printed with the “Ultra” logo， and its exterior features a high-gloss spray coating for a delicate feel. This premium finish contributes to the overall perceived value of the accessory.
The sunny umbrella is designed with a one-button opening and closing mechanism， enabling single-handed operation. Crucially， its dimensions are specifically designed to fit into the umbrella storage slots located in the front door panel compartments of all Xiaomi car models. The thoughtful engineering behind its size and shape showcases Xiaomi’s dedication to seamless integration within its vehicle ecosystem， ensuring convenience for users.
Xiaomi advises users to place the umbrella in the lower storage area of the car door when driving at high speeds to prevent it from flying out. This safety tip demonstrates a practical consideration for user experience and vehicle safety.
