The YU7 represents Xiaomi's second foray into the electric vehicle market, following the SU7 sedan.

Performance specifications indicate that the YU7 will be available in multiple trims. The rear-wheel-drive variant is powered by a single 235 kW motor, while the all-wheel-drive version combines a 220 kW front motor with a 288 kW rear motor, delivering a total output of 508 kW. The top speed for the high-performance model is reported at 253 km/h.
Battery options include a 96.3 kWh lithium iron phosphate pack supplied by FinDreams and a 101.7 kWh nickel manganese cobalt pack from CATL. Depending on the configuration, the YU7 offers a CLTC range between 670 km and 835 km. The vehicle supports both AC Type 2 and DC CCS charging standards and features adaptive air suspension, with wheel options ranging from 19 to 21 inches.
Interior features are expected to include a panoramic sunroof with triple-layer silver coating, providing 99.9% UV protection and 97.6% heat insulation. The cabin is designed to accommodate five passengers comfortably, with a focus on integrating Xiaomi's HyperOS for seamless connectivity across devices.
