The Xiaomi YU7 has been spied without camouflage. These photos are a first look at what the SUV looks like from the side. According to Xiaomi founder Lei Jun, the car should be called YU-7.

For an EV, the car has a very long front, with the cabin only starting far from the front wheel. Although there is a clear similarity to the Ferrari Purosangue, it may not be as great as once thought. The car also really looks a lot like an SUV version of the Xiaomi SU7.
It is a relatively large car with dimensions of 4999, 1996, 1600 mm (l/w/h) and the wheelbase is 3000 mm. So far, only a double engine has been declared in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology lists, and it weighs 2405 kg.

Power comes from a 220 kW front-mounted motor and a 288 kW rear-mounted motor, delivering a total output of 508 kW (681 hp). These can propel the Xiaomi YU7 to a top speed of 253 km/h. There will also likely be a single-engine version to reduce starting costs.
As indicated, the dual motor version will have an NMC battery supplied by CATL. In the case of the standard trim level of the SU7, a cheaper lithium iron phosphate blade battery from BYD is used, and it is likely that it will also appear on the cheapest model of the YU 7 to make starting prices more affordable. .
It was previously believed that sales of the YU 7 would start around March, but as we reported this would cause capacity issues as the second phase of Xiaomi’s factory wouldn’t be completed until later in the year. We now know that sales of the YU 7 will indeed start in 2025. This gives Xiaomi time to complete the factory.

An additional advantage of reporting the car early is that Xiaomi can now continue seriously testing the car without too much interest from spy photographers.
