Xiaomi Auto will launch its first electric crossover called the YU7 in China on May 22. The brand’s upcoming model will be its second and joins the SU7 that made its debut back in December 2023.
The YU7’s styling isn’t a mystery despite the use of a shadowy teaser for the debut date announcement. Last December, company CEO Lei Jun posted photos of the crossover alongside the highly popular SU7, with both sharing similar cues.
These include tapered headlights with a light bar running through the middle of the cluster, a trapezoidal air intake with body-coloured inserts, a sweeping roofline, a large rear diffuser as well as C-shaped taillights that are joined at the bottom. Both also have a lip spoiler for their boot/tailgate, although the YU7 has a prominent roof-mounted wing.
Referring to information from China’s ministry of industry and information technology (MIIT), the YU7 measures 4,999 mm long, 1,996 mm wide and 1,600 mm tall and has a wheelbase spanning 3,000 mm.
It will be offered with a dual-motor setup rated at 690 PS (681 hp or 508 kW), with power coming from a CATL-sourced nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) battery. Last year, Xiaomi delivered at total of 135,000 vehicles, all of which were the SU7. This year, the delivery target is 300,000 units, with the YU7 expected to contribute significantly.
