After the hype and success of the SU7 sedan, Xiaomi is back with its second EV — the YU7, its first-ever electric crossover. Positioned to rival the Tesla Model Y, this mid-size SUV combines smart hardware, high-end tech, and Xiaomi’s ecosystem know-how. The YU7 isn’t just another electric car — it’s a bold statement in design, performance, and smart living.
Xiaomi YU7 Exterior Design:
The YU7 stretches five meters long with a bold, low-slung stance that blends SUV utility with coupe-like elegance. Its clamshell aluminum hood — the largest ever on a production car — helps reduce drag and weight. Flush door handles, frameless mirrors, and sculpted lines complete the futuristic look.
Xiaomi went all-in on aerodynamics, making over 40 refinements to reach an impressive drag coefficient of just 0.245 Cd. From active grille shutters to rear spoilers, the YU7 is engineered for range and efficiency. It’s available in nine colors, including a standout Emerald Green Metallic inspired by Colombian gemstones.
Interior Design:
Inside, the YU7 is futuristic but functional. The dashboard features a 1.1-meter-wide panoramic Mini-LED HyperVision Display with 108 PPD resolution and 1200 nits of brightness. It works with Xiaomi’s custom HyperOS UI and is powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip for fast boot-up and OTA updates.
Passengers enjoy a 16.1-inch touchscreen up front and a detachable 6.68-inch rear control panel. The smart cabin supports up to 10 power outlets, 4 wireless charging pads, and a variety of magnetic accessories — from phone mounts and Bluetooth shortcut buttons to modular reading lights and roof racks.
The seats use premium Nappa leather with front seat massage, zero-gravity recline, and power-adjustable rear seats. Three interior color schemes are offered, and overall cargo space is generous: 678L rear trunk + 141L frunk, expanding to 1,758L with the rear seats down.
Mechanical Specs: Three Variants, All Impressive
Built on the same Modena platform as the SU7, the YU7 is available in three trims:
- YU7: Rear-wheel drive, 235 kW (315 hp), 96.3 kWh LFP battery, 835 km range (CLTC), 0–100 km/h in 5.88s
- YU7 Pro: Dual-motor AWD, 489 hp, same battery, 770 km range, 0–100 km/h in 4.27s
- YU7 Max: Dual-motor AWD, 681 hp, 101.7 kWh CATL NMC battery, 760 km range, 0–100 km/h in 3.23s
The Max charges from 10–80% in just 12 minutes and adds 620 km in 15 minutes — ideal for long-distance travel.
All versions use Xiaomi’s HyperEngine V6s Plus motors, feature adaptive suspension (air on Pro/Max), and offer precise handling and ride comfort. Brakes, tires, and chassis materials are all tuned for performance and safety.
Safety: Built Like a Fortress, Smart to the Core
Xiaomi isn’t playing around with safety. The YU7 uses a body made from 90.2% high-strength steel and aluminum, including 2200 MPa ultra-steel in the door beams and pillars. It passed over 50 crash tests and meets or exceeds China’s strict C-NCAP and C-IASI standards.
There’s a full suite of advanced safety features: LiDAR, 4D radar, 11 cameras, 12 ultrasonic sensors, and a high-powered Nvidia DRIVE chip running Xiaomi’s HAD autonomous system. The car includes multiple backup brake systems, including mechanical and electronic redundancies.
Privacy gets attention too: with one tap, all internal/external sensors can be disabled. And for pet owners? There’s a dedicated Pet Mode, built-in monitoring, and optional Xiaomi-branded carriers for travel safety.
Smart Systems: A Car That Feels Like a Home
The YU7 is deeply integrated with Xiaomi’s “Human × Car × Home” philosophy. The HyperOS-powered infotainment is smooth and customizable. Voice assistant XiaoAi works inside and out of the car, even without wake words, and recognizes individual passengers. There’s also full Apple ecosystem support, including UWB keys, Control Center access, Siri commands, and Apple Watch fallback when your iPhone battery dies.
You can mount projectors, cameras, or lights directly inside the cabin via modular magnetic rails. Use XiaoAi to control your home, start the AC, or open the trunk before you reach the car — all hands-free.
Even the cabin environment is smart: advanced filters clean air in 35 seconds, and ambient lighting and pet-friendly features adapt automatically to conditions.
Xiaomi YU7 Price
Launched on June 26, 2025, the Xiaomi YU7 is priced between 253,500 and 329,900 CNY, which translates to roughly $35,350 to $46,000 USD. Within just one hour of its unveiling, the SUV received an astonishing 289,000 pre-orders, with estimated delivery timelines stretching up to 56 weeks — a clear sign of the overwhelming demand.
