Xiaomi YU7 will officially debut at 7:00 PM tomorrow night (May 22).
Facing the fiercely competitive SUV market segment—even more cutthroat than the sedan market—can the Xiaomi YU7 break through?
Earlier this morning, Lei Jun,CEO of Xiaomi Auto, stated on Weibo: ‘I believe the YU7 possesses an irreplaceable unique charm.’
Lei Jun stated that the YU7 is positioned as a luxury high-performance SUV, sharing the same familial design language as the SU7. At the same time, the YU7 boasts distinctive features, combining elegant styling and high performance with luxurious comfort and spaciousness, alongside advanced smart technology.
Following this, Xiaomi officially unveiled the YU7’s new color option—Emerald Green. Inspired by Colombian emeralds, the dual-layer paint process replicates the premium texture of gemstones, creating a richly layered visual effect.
From Lei Jun’s emphasis on its high-performance positioning, it’s clear the YU7 will prioritize handling and power, much like the SU7.
According to earlier MIIT certification filings, the YU7 is fully electric, offering both single- and dual-motor configurations.
Dual-motor AWD variant: Front/rear motors deliver 220 kW and 288 kW respectively, achieving a combined output of 508 kW (691 hp). It boasts a top speed of 253 km/h and uses a ternary lithium battery.
Single-motor RWD variant: Produces 235 kW with a top speed of 240 km/h, paired with a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery.
Based on its positioning, the YU7 is expected to be priced similarly to the Tesla Model Y, likely ranging between 250,000 to 350,000 RMB.
