Xiaomi is surprising the world again — this time, not with a gadget but with an electric car. The new YU7 crossover has taken the market by storm: over 315,000 pre-orders were placed in the first 72 hours after its launch. This is the second model from Xiaomi’s automotive division following the SU7 sedan, and it’s already being seen as a serious rival to the Tesla Model Y.
Design & Aerodynamics
The YU7 looks bold and futuristic — with a low-slung profile, muscular lines, hidden door handles, and aggressive lighting. Its drag coefficient is just 0.245, which is remarkable for an SUV of this size.
Three Versions to Suit Every Taste
- Standard (RWD): 319 hp, range up to 835 km, 0–100 km/h in 5.9 seconds. Price — 253,500 yuan (~$35,300)
- Pro (AWD): 496 hp, 770 km range, 4.3 seconds. Price — 279,900 yuan (~$39,100)
- Max (AWD Performance): 690 hp, 760 km range, 3.2 seconds. Price — 329,900 yuan (~$46,000)
Tech & Comfort
Inside, it’s a high-tech haven: three Mini LED displays, AI-powered voice controls, Apple CarPlay support — and even a built-in fridge. Front seats come with a massage function, while rear seats offer electric adjustment and recline up to 135°.
Safety & Autonomy
All versions are equipped with LiDAR, 4D radar, 11 cameras, and 12 ultrasonic sensors. The driver assistance system runs on NVIDIA’s DRIVE AGX Thor™ platform, promising confident handling in any condition.

|---|---|---|
| Body Type | Mid-size crossover | Full-size sports sedan |
| Drive System | All-wheel drive (AWD) | All-wheel drive (AWD) |

The SU7 is all about speed, handling, and sleek efficiency — lower, lighter, and faster. The YU7, meanwhile, offers more space, versatility, and comfort, while packing nearly the same level of power.
