What is the 624m ultra-long-range high beam mentioned at the launch event? Why is such long-range illumination necessary?

Official answer

The "Dragonfly Headlights" equipped across the entire Xiaomi Pengcheng lineup provide 180° ultra-wide-angle illumination for low beams, with high beams reaching a maximum distance of 624m.

The reason for achieving such long range is primarily to address real-world nighttime driving scenarios. For example, on highways at night, in mountainous areas, or on roads without streetlights, drivers rely heavily on vehicle lighting for visibility. When traveling at 120km/h, the vehicle advances approximately 33m per second. Longer high-beam illumination means seeing changes in the road ahead earlier, providing drivers with more time to observe and judge situations.

At the same time, we do not only focus on "distance." The low beams also achieve a 180° ultra-wide angle to address visibility nearby and on both sides; the high beams reach up to 624m to further extend forward visibility. Both near and far aim to ensure drivers see more clearly and drive more confidently in different nighttime driving scenarios.
