Xiaomi Electric Vehicle SUV YU7｜Appearance

Xiaomi YU7 is 5 meters long and has a wheelbase of 3 meters. It is a medium-to-large SUV. The body color is available in three colors: titanium, emerald green and lava orange. The overall design of YU7 continues many features of SU7, such as water drop-shaped headlights (new hollow design) and through-type halo taillights. Due to the large body size of YU7, the manufacturer has spent a lot of effort on aerodynamics, including replacing the door handles with electric hidden ones, 10 through-type air ducts and 19 air outlets throughout the car, and with the hollow spoiler on the rear window and the 22-degree upturned rear wing, it has a drag coefficient of 0.245 Cd (the drag coefficient of the new Model Y is 0.22 Cd).

Xiaomi Electric Vehicle SUV YU7｜Interior

Although the exterior design of the YU7 follows the SU7 design style, the interior design of the YU7 is completely different. One of the highlights is the 1.1-meter-long panoramic display screen composed of three mini LED screens under the front glass. It can display a variety of driving information, such as speed, left and right side mirror images, navigation, and driving mode, so that the driver can keep his or her sight level and get vehicle information. It can be said to be an evolved head-up display. In addition, the interior design of the YU7 is further simplified. The only physical air-conditioning button on the SU7 is no longer seen, and all operations are performed on the central touch screen.

With a wheelbase of up to 3 meters, the YU 7 has a very spacious interior space. The two front seats with built-in massage function can be positioned in a zero-gravity posture, while the rear seat backs can be adjusted 135 degrees, providing a comfortable riding space.

Xiaomi Electric Vehicle SUV YU7｜Structure

At the press conference, Xiaomi spent a lot of time explaining the structure of YU7, emphasizing that the new car adopts the "armor cage body" structure, which is made of ultra-strong steel with a tensile strength of 2,200 MPa, which is 40% higher than the tensile strength of traditional hot-formed steel and 24% higher in yield strength. The ultra-strong steel is not only used in the frame, but also in the anti-collision beam of the door. At the same time, the A and B pillars contain hot-expanded metal tubes, which are integrated with the frame structure to form an embedded roll cage. In particular, YU7 has passed more than 50 passive safety performance development tests, including standard tests and super-standard tests, covering all collision standards of C-NCAP and C-ISAI.

Xiaomi Electric Vehicle SUV YU7｜Battery, Range

The basic and Pro versions of the YU7 are equipped with 96.3 kWh lithium iron phosphate batteries provided by BYD's Fudi and CATL, while the Max version uses a 101.7 kWh ternary lithium battery provided by CATL. As mentioned earlier, since the basic version of the YU7 uses a single motor rear-wheel drive layout, its cruising range is the longest among many versions, reaching 835 km under the CLTC standard. The Pro and Max versions with dual motors and four-wheel drive also have a cruising range of 770 km and 760 km respectively under the CLTC standard. At the same time, the YU7 supports an 800V high-voltage platform and can be charged from 10% to 80% in 12 minutes.

Xiaomi Electric Vehicle SUV YU7｜Performance

In terms of performance, the main attraction is of course the YU7 Max, which provides 508 kW horsepower and 866 Nm torque, plus 0-100 km/h in just 3.23 seconds, and a top speed of 253 km/h. Since the current generation Model Y has not yet launched a Performance version, we use the specifications of the previous generation Model Y Performance as a comparison, which is superior in terms of horsepower, torque and acceleration time. In terms of motors, the YU7 uses an evolved version of the Xiaomi Super Motor V6s Plus. By applying segmented magnetic steel technology, the entire magnetic steel is cut into multiple small segments, which can reduce losses and improve efficiency, with a maximum speed of 22,000 rpm.

In addition to its powerful acceleration, the manufacturer also emphasizes the braking performance of the YU7, which is equipped with Brembo four-piston front calipers (Max version), variable air suspension (Pro version and Max version) and intelligent chassis, so that it only takes 33.9 meters to accelerate from 100 to 0 km/h, greatly improving driving safety.

Xiaomi SU7 Electric Vehicle｜Design

The SU7 features a four-door sedan design with a length of 4,997 mm and a height of 1,440 mm. Its streamlined shape and electric rear wing result in a low drag coefficient of just 0.195 Cd (compared to the Tesla Model 3's 0.22 Cd). The headlamps are drop-shaped and have smart distance adjustment, while the rear lights are LED strip designs with 360 red LEDs. Available in nine colors, including blue, gray, green, white, black, blue, purple, orange, and gray, the SU7 boasts a total glass area of 5.35 square meters, including a sunroof and windshield with heat insulation. At the launch event, Xiaomi claimed that the SU7's interior temperature would be 12 degrees lower than the Model 3 after 1.5 hours of exposure to 38°C.

The interior of the SU7 offers color options including black, gray, red, or purple. The symmetrical design features a three-spoke flat-bottom steering wheel with independent buttons for driving mode selection. The digital instrument cluster measures 7.1 inches, and the Max version includes a 56-inch HUD (Head-up Display). The 16.1-inch central screen lacks rotation but provides ample space for viewing various driving information.

The SU7 is equipped with a 25-channel audio system, including multiple horizontal surround speakers, ceiling speakers, and heated/cooling headrests. Optional screens for the rear seats, electric door closures, and more are also available.

Xiaomi SU7 Electric Vehicle｜Battery and Range

The three versions of SU7 use different batteries. SU7 is a 73.6 kWh blade battery, and SU7 Pro is a 94.3 kWh CATL Shenxing Battery, while SU7 Max is 101 kWh CATL Kirin Battery Among them, the Shenxing battery and Kirin battery are the latest products of CATL. They not only provide longer driving range, but also have significantly improved charging efficiency, thermal management and low temperature environment performance compared to previous products. When the SU7 Max is used with an 817 V high-voltage charging station, it can travel 220 kilometers in just 5 minutes, and can travel 510 kilometers after charging for 15 minutes.
