Xiaomi’s electric vehicles are creating a buzz in China, and the company plans to leverage this excitement by launching its first SUV as quickly as possible.
Xiaomi is accelerating the launch of its YU7 electric SUV in China, aiming to capitalise on soaring demand for its automotive ventures. The vehicle’s debut has been brought forward from July this year to the end of June.
The YU7, Xiaomi’s second EV, follows the SU7 Ultra’s record-breaking Nürburgring lap, which cemented the brand’s automotive credibility. With over 100,000 SU7 orders in China, Xiaomi is betting the YU7 will replicate this enthusiasm.
Xiaomi’s upcoming YU7, which is designed to rival Tesla’s Model Y, promises a sleek design, advanced tech, and competitive pricing.
Built on Xiaomi’s HyperOS platform, the YU7 integrates seamless connectivity with smartphones and home devices. It offers a 101kWh battery, offering a 600 km range under China’s test cycle, and supports ultra-fast 800V charging.
Autonomous driving capabilities, powered by Xiaomi’s in-house L3 system, aim to challenge BYD and Nio. A spacious interior and minimalist cockpit cater to tech-savvy buyers.
Xiaomi’s automotive arm is scaling rapidly, with plans to rank among China’s top five EV makers by 2030. The YU7’s early launch targets China’s booming SUV market, where EVs now outsell petrol models.
Global expansion is on the horizon, with Europe and Southeast Asia as key markets. That being said, it would still be a while before we start seeing Xiaomi cars here in India, as no such plans have been announced.
Despite the hype, Xiaomi faces fierce competition in China from established players like Tesla and BYD, plus supply chain hurdles. Scaling production while maintaining quality will be critical. Yet, with its tech expertise and aggressive pricing, the YU7 could shake up the EV landscape.
