Marking a major milestone for Xiaomi EV, the company today introduced its first SUV, the Xiaomi YU7. Pronounced “YU” (/ü/), the name draws from the Chinese expression “御风而行,” meaning “riding the wind” — an apt metaphor for a vehicle designed to combine forward-thinking technology with commanding presence. The YU7 is built for a new generation of drivers who are self-assured, adventurous, and sophisticated.
Rather than reinterpreting the Xiaomi SU7 in SUV form, the YU7 stands as a completely new development, crafted to offer a unique blend of performance, luxury, and intelligent innovation. It introduces a fresh perspective on premium utility vehicles, shaped with purpose and poise.
Continuing a Design Legacy, With a Bold New Twist
Building on the visual principles established by the SU7, the Xiaomi YU7 carries forward Xiaomi’s design DNA while introducing proportions and details suited to its SUV class. Its large dimensions — nearly five meters in length and two meters in width — serve not only visual impact but functional comfort.
The SUV’s form is sculpted around classic high-performance ratios, including a 3:1 wheel-to-body and a 2.1:1 wheel-to-height ratio. Its long clamshell hood — the largest ever for a production vehicle — contributes both to aerodynamic efficiency and a commanding road presence. Distinctive new headlamps adopt a hollow structure with integrated airflow management, while wide-angle lighting enhances visibility.
Rear styling is equally expressive. A revised taillight design introduces downward-angled edges for a more muscular stance, further emphasized by premium ultra-red lighting technology that offers superior night visibility and unmistakable road presence.
Sculpted for Motion, Designed for Silence
The YU7 incorporates a new electric-flush door handle system that deploys only when needed. This not only refines the vehicle’s side profile but also reduces wind resistance. A user-focused feature allows the handles to extend automatically when the keyholder approaches, blending functionality with refinement.
Underneath the surface, Xiaomi’s experience in airflow design shows through. The YU7 benefits from over 40 targeted aerodynamic enhancements — including a 10-count improvement from a redesigned spoiler and 18 counts from an active grille system. These refinements result in a drag coefficient of just 0.245, a significant benchmark for its class.
Signature Colors Inspired by Nature’s Brilliance
Color plays a central role in the YU7’s identity. Emerald Green reflects the depth and richness of rare gemstones using a specialized dual-layer paint system. Titanium Silver offers a vivid interplay of light and shadow through coarser aluminum flakes. Lava Orange returns from the SU7 lineup, delivering warmth and metallic vibrance from every angle.
A High-Tech Interior That Embodies Comfort and Customization
Inside, the YU7 introduces a refined take on the driver and passenger experience through the “Dual-Zone Surround Luxury Cabin” concept. The centerpiece is the Xiaomi HyperVision Panoramic Display — a revolutionary three-screen Mini LED system that transforms the lower windshield into a dynamic display zone. This system adjusts content according to context, from navigation and speed to entertainment and environmental settings.
Comfort is emphasized through spacious seating arrangements, zero-gravity front seats, and power-adjustable rear seats. Materials used throughout the cabin are environmentally safe and luxurious to the touch, including Nappa leather surfaces certified for sensitive skin.
Smart Layout, Expansive Capacity
Designed for maximum usability, the YU7’s interior space benefits from structural efficiencies made possible by Xiaomi’s CTB battery platform. With ample headroom and cargo volume — including up to 1,970 liters of total storage — the YU7 is equipped to handle both daily demands and extended travel. Storage solutions are thoughtful and flexible, making the SUV as practical as it is refined.
Dual-Zone Luxury Interior
The Xiaomi YU7’s cabin is designed to offer an open, uncluttered environment. The dashboard features a layered design that integrates airbags, screens, and concealed air vents seamlessly, reducing the usual bulkiness of SUV interiors and enhancing the sense of space. A standard 1.7㎡ panoramic sunroof further contributes to the airy, expansive feel of the cabin.
The interior is available in three distinct color schemes: Pine Gray (light), Coral Orange, and Twilight Blue (deeper hues), all of which are complemented by 100% soft-touch materials on high-contact surfaces. These materials are certified to meet the stringent OEKO-TEX® Class 1 safety standard, ensuring they are safe even for infant contact. Nappa leather-wrapped seats, with a refined pebbled grain texture, provide luxurious comfort.
Seating in the Xiaomi YU7 is centered on comfort and convenience, featuring dual zero-gravity front seats with one-touch reclining and a 10-point massage system for the driver and passenger. The driver’s seat incorporates a 12-layer construction, offering a mix of support and enveloping comfort. The rear seats are equipped with 135° electric recliners, allowing for smooth adjustment between upright and lounge positions.
Performance and Range: Elevating the Driving Experience
Xiaomi YU7 benefits from the company’s pioneering electric motor, power battery, and motor control unit technologies. These innovations are designed to offer both high performance and energy efficiency. The new Xiaomi HyperEngine V6s Plus improves upon previous iterations, employing segmented magnetic steel technology that reduces energy loss and increases range by 4 km. The vehicle delivers 690 PS of horsepower, achieves 0-100 km/h in just 3.23 seconds, and reaches a top speed of 253 km/h, outperforming competitors at even higher price points.
The chassis system of the Xiaomi YU7 is engineered to balance performance and comfort. It includes advanced suspension technology, Brembo®️ four-piston calipers, and continuous damper control, delivering responsive handling and stability across diverse driving conditions. With a braking distance of just 33.9 meters from 100 km/h and a turning radius of 5.7 meters, the YU7 delivers exceptional braking and maneuverability.
Exceptional Range and Charging Speed
The Xiaomi YU7 is available in three variants, with the Standard variant offering a remarkable 835 km range, setting a new benchmark for electric SUVs in its class. The Pro and Max variants offer slightly reduced ranges of 760 km and 770 km, respectively. All variants are equipped with an 800V high-voltage platform, enabling ultra-fast charging capabilities. The vehicle can achieve an 80% charge in just 12 minutes, with a 620 km charge completed in 15 minutes.
Safety Innovations
Safety is a key focus of the Xiaomi YU7, with its armored steel-aluminum hybrid body structure providing superior protection. The vehicle features a fortified front-end collision zone, high-strength crossbeams, and a bulletproof underbody coating. The use of Xiaomi’s ultra-high-strength steel further enhances passenger safety, particularly in side-impact collisions and extreme driving situations.
Intelligent Platform and High-Performance Computing
The Xiaomi YU7 is equipped with a cutting-edge Electrical/Electronic Architecture (EEA), incorporating a 4 nm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip and the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor™ platform for assisted driving. This platform, along with next-gen communication technologies like dual 5G and Wi-Fi 7, ensures optimal performance, connectivity, and user experience. Xiaomi’s EEA also improves energy efficiency, extending the driving range and enhancing system functionality.
Advanced Driving Assistance and Safety
Equipped with a full suite of advanced sensors, including LiDAR, 4D millimeter-wave radar, and anti-glare cameras, the Xiaomi YU7 ensures superior safety and situational awareness, particularly in challenging driving conditions. This technology helps the vehicle detect obstacles in low visibility environments, enhancing overall road safety.
Comprehensive Driver Training
Xiaomi EV’s commitment to safety extends to its advanced driving training programs. These courses, designed to help drivers improve their handling skills and understand their vehicle’s capabilities, are available to all users to encourage safe driving habits.
