Xiaomi Gears Up for YU7 EV Launch
Xiaomi is preparing to unveil its second electric vehicle, the Xiaomi YU7, under the Xiaomi EV brand. Set to launch officially next week, the YU7 has already entered mass production. Thousands of units have been spotted outside Xiaomi’s EV factory in Yizhuang, Beijing, signaling that deliveries could start as early as July.
A Stylish Mid-Size SUV with Family-Friendly Features
The Xiaomi YU7 is a fastback-style mid-size electric SUV measuring approximately 4.8 meters in length. It shares the Modena platform with the SU7 sedan and comes equipped with Xiaomi’s integrated EV architecture and digital systems. Unlike the sportier SU7, the YU7 takes a more family-oriented approach. It features higher ground clearance, a spacious cabin, and improved rear headroom due to its more upright roofline — ideal for daily family use and longer journeys alike.
Impressive Performance and Dual-Motor Powertrain
Powering the YU7 is a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup. According to China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), the base model delivers 365 kW (489 hp) — 145 kW at the front and 220 kW at the rear. A high-performance variant has also been tested, pushing total output to 508 kW (681 hp).
The vehicle is built on an 800V electrical architecture and utilizes lithium-ion batteries supplied by BYD and CATL, promising faster charging and improved efficiency.
Cutting-Edge Interior Tech and Smart Driving Features
Inside, the YU7 boasts a bright, high-tech cabin inspired by the SU7. It runs on Xiaomi’s HyperOS, powered by the Snapdragon 8295 chip, and includes a 16.1-inch central infotainment screen.
Advanced driving assistance comes via the Xiaomi Pilot Pro system, with L2+ autonomous features enabled by the Nvidia Drive Orin chip. A comprehensive sensor suite — including lidar, ultrasonic sensors, and a surround-view camera system — ensures a safer and smarter driving experience.
Competitive Pricing Targets the Tesla Model Y
With an expected price lower than the SU7’s 245,900 yuan (approx. $34,100), the YU7 aims to undercut rivals like the Tesla Model Y. Xiaomi is expected to adopt an aggressive pricing strategy to rapidly expand its market share in the electric SUV segment.
Built by BMW’s Former Designer and Ready for Market
The YU7 was developed by the same team behind the SU7, led by former BMW designer Tianyuan Li. Unlike the SU7’s rocky early delivery phase, Xiaomi appears to have fine-tuned its production and logistics — the YU7’s early production scale-up suggests smoother initial rollouts.
