After the quite successful launch of its first electric car, the Xiaomi SU7, the company is taking the next bold step and preparing to release the Xiaomi YU7 crossover. Moreover, the name of the model hints at the main competitor - it seems that the key rival of the novelty will be Tesla Mode Y.
Thanks to the Chinese regulator, we already know that Xiaomi YU7 is much larger in size! The visual resemblance to a first-generation sedan successfully hides the size of a considerable novelty: the Xiaomi YU7 crossover stretches to almost 5 meters in length (4999 mm to be exact) and has a 3-meter wheelbase, its width reaches almost 2 meters, and its height is about 1.6 meters. The weight is appropriate: 2450 kg. Despite its sleek and streamlined design, the new Xiaomi YU7 is actually a very large and massive electric crossover.
And it is also very powerful. The front electric motor is designed for 220 kW, the rear electric motor is ready for even more - as much as 288 kW; the total is 508 kW or 691 hp! It is not surprising that with such figures, the Xiaomi YU7 electric crossover reaches a top speed of 253 km/h, despite its size and weight.
Other technical specifications have not yet been announced. However, the Xiaomi YU7 crossover is expected to support 800-volt architecture and use a battery with a capacity of about 100 kWh, as in the maximum versions of the first generation sedan.
The details will become known closer to the market launch of the new product. This should happen in the summer of 2025. The estimated price of the Xiaomi YU7 electric car on the local Chinese market will be $35-40 thousand.
