Xiaomi Auto, through its Xiaomi division, has unveiled two new versions of the YU7 electric crossover—Standard and GT—expanding the model's lineup into the mass-market and high-performance segments.
Pricing and Positioning
Xiaomi YU7 Standard — from 233,500 yuan
Xiaomi YU7 GT — from 389,900 yuan
The Standard version becomes the entry point to the model range, while the GT is focused on the sports and track segments.
Xiaomi YU7 Standard: Focusing on Efficiency and Range
The base version features a configuration focused on balancing cost and range:
-
73 kWh LFP (lithium iron phosphate) battery
-
752 V high-voltage silicon carbide architecture
-
Range of up to 643 km on the CLTC cycle
More expensive models in the lineup feature higher-capacity batteries—96.3 and 101.7 kWh—creating differentiation within the family.
Xiaomi YU7 GT: The Sporty Flagship of the Line
The GT version is focused on maximum performance and track capabilities: twin-motor powertrain, 1003 hp, 0-100 km/h acceleration in 2.92 seconds, and a top speed of 300 km/h.
With the optional Track Package, the car clocked 7:22.755 on the Nürburgring, improving on its previous best in the crossover class.
Xiaomi Auto Strategy
Xiaomi continues to expand its automotive business, building a multi-tiered product ecosystem.
At the same time, the company is developing a new brand, Sky Nomad, which will offer hybrid models with an extended range. The first model will be the full-size SUV Kunlun N3, expected to launch in the second half of 2026.
Conclusion
The launch of two conceptually contrasting versions of the YU7 reflects Xiaomi's strategy: simultaneously strengthening its position in the mass market and expanding its presence in the high-performance electric vehicle class, where competition from traditional automakers and new players is rapidly intensifying.
