Xiaomi launches its first electric SUV, YU7 in China
Xiaomi EV has officially launched the Xiaomi YU7 , the company's first sport utility vehicle (SUV) and second electric vehicle model following the SU7 sedan. The YU7 is described by the company as a high-performance luxury SUV built from the ground up, rather than an adaptation of its predecessor. The vehicle derives its name from a Chinese phrase meaning 'riding the wind' and is positioned to target urban buyers seeking spacious interiors, smart features and long driving ranges. The car offers a top speed of 253 km/h and the dual-motor four-wheel drive system enables the SUV to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.23 seconds. Design and dimensions The YU7 retains Xiaomi's design language first seen in the SU7 but introduces its own structural identity. The vehicle measures 4,999 mm in length, 1,996 mm in width, and 1,600 mm in height, with a 3,000 mm wheelbase. Among the structural details are a clamshell aluminium bonnet covering an electric front boot of 141 litres, optional 275 mm wide rear tyres, and a drag coefficient of Cd 0.245 — achieved through design optimisation across 40 airflow zones. Xiaomi claims the YU7 delivers a 59 km range improvement due to aerodynamic enhancements. Interior and infotainment The YU7 includes a cabin Xiaomi refers to as a 'dual-zone surround' design. It introduces the Xiaomi HyperVision Panoramic Display, comprising three Mini LED panels integrated into the lower section of the windshield. This setup offers a 1.1-metre wide display with a peak brightness of 1,200 nits. Other interior features include dual zero-gravity front seats with massage functions and power-adjustable rear seats. All seats are upholstered in Nappa leather, and the materials in high-contact areas meet OEKO-TEX Class 1 standards, which are certified for safety even for infants. Storage includes a 678-litre rear boot space, expandable to 1,758 litres with the seats folded, and a 141-litre front boot. Additional storage compartments add up to 71 litres. Powertrain and range The YU7 comes in three versions: Standard, Pro, and Max. The entry-level variant is fitted with a 96.3 kWh battery offering a certified CLTC range of 835 km, reportedly the longest range for an SUV with a battery of this size. The Pro version also uses the 96.3 kWh battery and delivers a range of 760 km, while the Max variant features a 101.7 kWh battery and achieves 770 km. All three versions are built on an 800V silicon carbide high-voltage platform. Chassis and braking The YU7 includes a double wishbone front and five-link rear independent suspension system, as well as closed dual-chamber air springs with five levels of height adjustment. The SUV has a minimum turning radius of 5.7 metres. Braking performance from 100 km/h to a full stop is 33.9 metres, and the braking system includes Brembo four-piston calipers. The chassis is supported by continuous damping control and Xiaomi's smart chassis management, designed to adjust suspension and ride stiffness based on road conditions. 'Xiaomi YU7 is not simply a taller version of the SU7,' the company said in a media release. 'It represents a completely reimagined SUV from the ground up, delivering an entirely refreshed experience in design, cabin comfort, safety, and smart capabilities.'

Xiaomi launches its first electric SUV, the YU7, with 3.23s 0-100 km/h acceleration: Price, features and more
Xiaomi EV has officially introduced its first electric SUV, the Xiaomi YU7, marking a significant step in the company's expansion into the high-performance luxury vehicle segment. Unlike the previously launched Xiaomi SU7, the YU7 is not a mere size variation but an entirely new model designed from scratch. It is positioned to appeal to drivers seeking a blend of advanced electric technology, bold design, and spacious comfort. The name 'YU7' is derived from a Chinese term symbolising 'riding the wind,' reflecting the SUV's sleek and aerodynamic profile. Measuring 4999 mm in length, 1996 mm in width, and 1600 mm in height, with a 3000 mm wheelbase, the YU7 falls within the mid-to-large SUV category. The proportions follow Xiaomi's distinct design philosophy, with specific ratios engineered for performance and aesthetics, including a 3:1 wheel-to-body ratio and a 1.25:1 width-to-height ratio. Exterior detailing includes a clamshell aluminium hood spanning 3.11 square metres, touted as the largest in any mass-produced vehicle. The SUV also features 275 mm wide rear tyres and a redesigned headlamp system incorporating air channels linked to front hood vents. These changes aim to improve both aesthetics and airflow dynamics. At the rear, Xiaomi has updated its hallmark taillight design with angular finishes and ultra-red lighting for better visibility and road presence. Three launch colours — Emerald Green, Titanium Silver, and Lava Orange — will be offered, inspired by natural elements and designed to appeal to a younger, more vibrant demographic. Inside, Xiaomi introduces the 'Dual-Zone Surround Luxury Cabin,' which combines advanced technology, comfort, and space efficiency. The cabin includes the debut of the Xiaomi HyperVision Panoramic Display, an innovation aimed at creating an immersive cockpit-like experience. The display spans 1.1 metres and uses Mini LED technology to project critical driving information onto the windshield. With a 108 PPD resolution and peak brightness of 1,200 nits, it aims to remain visible under bright sunlight while avoiding glare and distortion. Other interior features include dual zero-gravity front seats, power-adjustable rear seating, and an emphasis on sustainable materials. Surfaces are finished with 100 per cent soft-touch elements and Nappa leather with a rock-grain texture. The vehicle has also earned OEKO-TEX Class 1 certification, confirming that materials are suitable even for infants and individuals with sensitive skin. Passenger space is maximised through Xiaomi's CTB integrated battery technology, which reduces floor thickness and enhances cabin height. The YU7 offers 100 mm of headroom in the front, 77 mm in the rear, and 73 mm of rear legroom. Storage capacity totals 1,970 litres, including a 141-litre front trunk and a foldable rear cargo area capable of holding multiple 24-inch suitcases. Powering the YU7 is Xiaomi's evolved HyperEngine V6s Plus, capable of producing up to 690 PS and 508 kW of peak power. The dual-motor four-wheel drive system allows the SUV to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.23 seconds, with a top speed of 253 km/h. According to Xiaomi, magnetic steel segmentation and topology optimisation have improved torque and engine efficiency, pushing revolutions to 22,000 rpm and torque to 528 N·m. The vehicle will be available in three configurations — Standard, Pro, and Max. The Standard version boasts a range of 835 km (CLTC) on a 96.3 kWh battery, reportedly the longest for any pure electric SUV with a sub-100 kWh battery. The Pro and Max variants offer 760 km and 770 km ranges, respectively, with the Max using a slightly larger 101.7 kWh battery. All models benefit from an 800V silicon carbide platform, allowing rapid charging — up to 620 km in 15 minutes. On the safety front, the YU7 incorporates a steel-aluminium hybrid body and comes equipped with NVIDIA's DRIVE AGX Thor chip, capable of 700 TOPS computing power. Additional safety features include LiDAR, 4D millimetre-wave radar, and a suite of 11 high-definition cameras. The SUV is also fitted with seven anti-glare cameras to enhance visibility and image quality during complex driving conditions. Xiaomi plans to offer advanced driver training courses for YU7 owners, priced at RMB 1,999, covering emergency braking, slalom driving, and wet road handling, among other skills. The move aligns with the company's stated focus on promoting responsible driving behaviours. The official sales launch of the Xiaomi YU7 is scheduled for July. Ahead of that, collectors can purchase 1:18 scale alloy models of the YU7 in either Emerald Green or Titanium Silver, with prices starting from RMB 599.

Xiaomi EV Sales Fall After Deadly Crash, False Advertising Claims
(Bloomberg) -- Xiaomi Corp. electric vehicle sales in China have taken a hit since March after a fatal highway accident and consumer unhappiness around the marketing of one version of its car. As Coastline Erodes, One California City Considers 'Retreat Now' How a Highway Became San Francisco's Newest Park Power-Hungry Data Centers Are Warming Homes in the Nordics A New Central Park Amenity, Tailored to Its East Harlem Neighbors Maryland's Credit Rating Gets Downgraded as Governor Blames Trump Orders for Xiaomi's SU7 sedan plunged to around 36,000 units in April, down 55% month-on-month, Deutsche Bank AG wrote in a note. 'This trend extended into May,' auto analysts led by Bin Wang said. Deliveries are also suffering, the investment bank said, with volumes down sequentially over the past four weeks, from 7,200 in the third week of April to just 5,200 units in the second week of May. Local media reports earlier this month said more than 300 people want to cancel their SU7 Ultra EV orders on false advertising about the design of the vehicle's hood. That was the latest upset for Xiaomi after a fatal crash involving one of its SU7 sedans killed three people in late March. Deutsche Bank's report cited the accident among several reasons for the sales drop, as well as the 'recent dispute on the optional carbon fiber front hood' for the race car version of the SU7, which consumers have argued are just two holes and some plastic structures rather than the promised air ducts to improve aerodynamics and cooling. Xiaomi's shares in Hong Kong slipped as much as 1.4% Thursday, trimming gains this year to around 44.6%. Citi Research data show that since the beginning of the year, when sales are usually slow, orders for the SU7 sedan grew from 53,000 in February to 83,400 in March. But there was a sharp drop in April to 35,600, the month after the accident happened. Retail sales meanwhile fell from 29,200 in March to 27,200 a month later. Bloomberg reported in April that Xiaomi has pushed back the debut of its first sport utility vehicle, the YU7. Li Yanwei, with the China Automobile Dealers Association, also published an analysis on Wednesday on his Weibo account, showing that Xiaomi's car sales have been falling since mid-April. Outside of impacting consumer demand, the accident has brought more scrutiny to EV safety. Chinese authorities have tightened the promotion and deployment of advanced driver assistance systems, as the Xiaomi EV had the autopilot function turned on at the time of the crash. New standards are also being set for battery stability and recessed door handles that are popular in electric cars but which may become inoperable in the event of emergencies if the EV loses power. --With assistance from Charlotte Yang.
