Xiaomi has officially unveiled its second electric vehicle (EV), the YU7 SUV, marking the company's strategic move into the SUV segment. Building upon the success of the SU7 sedan, the YU7 is positioned to rub shoulders with the already established players in the electric SUV market such as the Tesla Model Y. Xiaomi YU7 Size And Dimensions:The YU7 is a larger vehicle compared to the SU7 sedan, with a length of 4,999mm, surpassing the SU7 by 2mm.
Despite this, both models share the same wheelbase of 3,000mm. The YU7 is notably wider and taller, measuring 1,996mm in width and 1,600mm in height, making it 3mm wider and 160mm taller than the SU7. When compared to the Tesla Model Y, the YU7 is larger in every dimension, offering more space and room for passengers.
The vehicle's design takes inspiration from the SU7 but features additional SUV elements such as black wheel arches, a new alloy wheel design, and a sleeker, crossover-like profile.

The front motor produces 299hp, while the rear motor outputs 392hp, propelling the SUV to a top speed of 253kph.
The YU7 will be powered by a battery supplied by CATL, a leading supplier for Tesla, with an estimated range of up to 830km on a full charge, though this may vary due to the SUV's additional weight. Set to debut in China by July 2025, Xiaomi plans to focus on domestic sales for the initial two to three years, citing strong local demand, before considering international markets. Despite showcasing its first model, the SU7 sedan, in India, Xiaomi has not disclosed any plans to launch the YU7 or any other vehicles in the Indian market for the time being.
Xiaomi began deliveries of the SU7 in April, and by November, it had already reached 100,000 units—surpassing its original annual target. The company now aims for 130,000 deliveries. Sales targets and pricing details for the YU7, however, have not yet been disclosed.
