A Striking Design with Performance at Its Core
The YU7 boasts a sleek, aerodynamic profile that enhances both aesthetics and efficiency. The front end features teardrop-shaped headlights and a bumper reminiscent of the SU7 sedan, while semi-concealed door handles and frameless mirrors add a futuristic touch. With a length of 4,999 millimeters, a width of 1,996 millimeters, and a height of 1,608 millimeters, this crossover provides ample cabin space.
At the rear, a distinctive ducktail spoiler and eye-catching halo-style taillights maintain design continuity with Xiaomi's electric lineup. A roof-mounted LiDAR sensor hints at advanced autonomous driving capabilities, though Xiaomi is also working on vision-based alternatives for models without this feature.
A Digital Cockpit Unlike Any Other
Inside, the YU7 takes a bold approach by eliminating a traditional instrument panel in favor of an ultra-wide digital screen spanning the entire dashboard. This futuristic setup provides the driver with essential information, including range, speed, and navigation data, in a seamless and visually stunning format. The minimalist interior design reinforces Xiaomi's focus on cutting-edge technology and driver-centric innovation.
Power and Range to Compete with the Best
Xiaomi will offer the YU7 in single and dual-motor configurations, delivering different levels of performance to suit various driving needs. The flagship all-wheel-drive version combines a front motor producing 220 kilowatts and a rear motor generating 288 kilowatts, resulting in a combined output of 508 kilowatts or 691 horsepower. This powerful setup enables the YU7 to reach a top speed of 253 kilometers per hour.
For those seeking a more balanced performance, a lower-powered dual-motor variant produces 365 kilowatts, while a rear-wheel-drive version delivers 235 kilowatts and achieves a top speed of 240 kilometers per hour. Xiaomi offers three battery choices, with capacities reaching up to 101.7 kilowatt-hours. The longest-range variant promises an impressive 770 kilometers on a single charge.
With an expected starting price of around 250,000 RMB (34,588 USD / 127,035 AED), the YU7 aims to shake up the electric crossover market. Its combination of futuristic design, high-tech features, and outstanding range positions it as a serious contender in the EV space.
