Xiaomi presents new electric crossover YU7 with impressive specifications
Following the successful debut of the SU7 electric sedan, Xiaomi is ready to present its new electric vehicle – the YU7 crossover. Recently released images, provided by company CEO Lei Jun, allowed a more detailed look at the new model, revealing its appearance and key characteristics.
The Xiaomi YU7’s design follows the same style as the SU7, with an almost identical front end. The LiDAR on the roof indicates the presence of advanced driver assistance systems, similar to the SU7. The crossover will be available with a wide selection of wheel designs – Xiaomi plans to offer 26 different design options, including Turbofan-style models.
In terms of dimensions, the Xiaomi YU7 is larger than the Tesla Model Y but slightly smaller than the Nio EL8. Its dimensions are: length – 4999 mm, width – 1996 mm, height – 1608 mm, wheelbase – 3000 mm.
Initially, the Xiaomi YU7 will be offered in three powertrain variants:
- Base version – single rear motor with 235 kW (315 hp)
- All-wheel drive version – dual motors with combined 365 kW (490 hp)
- All-wheel drive version – dual motors with combined 508 kW (681 hp)
The base rear-wheel drive version will use an LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery. The all-wheel drive versions will be equipped with NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) batteries with capacities of 96.3 kWh or 101.7 kWh, depending on the configuration. According to preliminary data, the maximum range under the CLTC cycle will be 760 km. The maximum speed of the vehicle is 253 km/h.
The Xiaomi YU7 electric crossover is expected to launch in the Chinese market between June and July 2025. The estimated price range is from 250,000 yuan (€28,000) to 400,000 yuan (€49,500). Outside of China, this model won’t be available until 2027.
Xiaomi is actively developing its electric vehicle division. Demand for the SU7 exceeds expectations – with some versions having waiting times of up to 11 weeks. The top-tier SU7 Ultra version is already sold out for several years ahead. The YU7 is generating significant interest on social media. To increase production, the company has completed a new round of funding for the construction of additional manufacturing facilities.
