Chinese consumer electronics firm Dreame, best known for robot vacuums and smart home appliances, has taken an unexpected leap into high-performance automotive design. On January 6 at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, the Beijing-based company unveiled its first car: a four-door electric concept called the Kosmera Nebula 1, boasting power figures more commonly associated with hypercars than tech-show debuts.
Dreame was founded by Yu Hao and became part of the Xiaomi Ecological Chain in 2017. For most of its history, the company focused on household technology, building a global reputation in robotic cleaning and smart appliances. That trajectory shifted in August 2025, when Dreame announced plans to enter the automotive sector and teased two concept vehicles that drew immediate comparisons to the Bugatti Chiron and Rolls-Royce Cullinan. The resemblance sparked skepticism, but the company promised clarity at CES.
The Nebula 1 concept delivers that clarification. Rather than a luxury SUV or pastiche hypercar, Dreame’s first vehicle is a low-slung, four-door electric performance car with proportions closer to a modern Italian supercar. Dreame confirmed that Kosmera will be the name of its automotive division, with Nebula designating the specific model line.
Design-wise, the Nebula 1 makes a clear statement. The car shown at CES wears a green exterior with extensive carbon fiber throughout the body, including the front pillars. A low hood, L-shaped headlights, and a sharply sculpted nose emphasize aerodynamics over ornamentation. Along the sides, large six-spoke wheels and bright yellow brake calipers underline its performance focus, while the four-door layout is carefully integrated into a flowing roofline. At the rear, a fixed wing, aggressive diffuser, and full-width lighting complete the supercar aesthetic. Flush, hidden door handles reinforce the clean look, though their regulatory viability in some markets remains unclear.
Under the skin, Dreame claims genuinely extreme numbers. The Nebula 1 uses a quad-motor electric drivetrain producing a combined 1,399 kilowatts, or roughly 1,876 horsepower. According to the company, this allows a 0–62 mph sprint in just 1.8 seconds, putting it ahead of several high-profile Chinese performance EVs and firmly in hypercar territory.
The Nebula 1 remains a concept, with no interior revealed and no final specifications confirmed. Dreame has said its first production vehicle is targeted for 2027. To support those ambitions, the company plans to build a manufacturing facility in Berlin, Germany, near Tesla’s Gigafactory, in partnership with BNP Paribas.
For a brand once defined by vacuum cleaners, the CES 2026 debut makes one thing unmistakable: Dreame is no longer experimenting at the edges of mobility. It is making a direct, high-stakes entry into the electric performance car arena.
