Xiaomi is no stranger to innovation, and its foray into the EV world is proving it's more than just a smartphone giant. Hot on the heels of the SU7 saloon, the YU7 SUV is gearing up to take on the big names in the electric vehicle game. Leaked online and quickly acknowledged by Xiaomi's CEO, this sleek, spacious SUV is set to blend cutting-edge tech, jaw-dropping performance, and minimalist design with an eco-friendly edge.
With a rumoured 101kWh battery delivering over 400 miles of range and a dual-motor setup offering 681bhp, the YU7 promises serious power under its stylish exterior. Whether it's about redefining SUV luxury or keeping up with Tesla, Xiaomi's YU7 is already making waves.
The YU7 doesn't just borrow a cup of sugar from its saloon sibling, the SU7 - it's practically moved in next door. From sleek LED headlights to a full-width rear light bar, this SUV nails "family resemblance."
It's bigger than the Tesla Model Y, but who's measuring? (Answer: everyone.) At 4,999mm long and nearly 2,000mm wide, this spacious 5-seater has room for everything but the kitchen sink - though a 7-seater version might be in the cards. Minimalist interior vibes meet a panoramic roof that's more "look at the stars" than "look at the price tag." Think chic, spacious, and ready for a scenic British road trip.
Safety's more than just a checkbox for Xiaomi; it's the full form. The YU7's rigorous road testing is making sure it's battle-ready for Britain's pothole-ridden roads. Expect Xiaomi to carry over its crash-test credentials from the SU7, ensuring the YU7 doesn't just look sporty - it handles like a pro.
Lightweight materials, a sporty roof spoiler, and comprehensive driver assistance features mean you can navigate traffic jams with as much finesse as motorways. With Xiaomi's CEO promising a superior product, it's clear the YU7 is leaving no stone unturned - or unpaved.
The YU7 brings the horsepower to the yard - 681bhp, to be exact. That's courtesy of a dual-motor setup with a 295bhp/386bhp split front to rear. Paired with a 101kWh battery, it's all systems go for over 400 miles of range, provided you don't drive like it's the Nürburgring.
While Xiaomi is keeping the finer tech specs under wraps, we're betting on a cabin dripping with gadgets - 16.1-inch main touchscreen? Check. Rear passenger displays? Check. Future-proof minimalism? Double check. Whether you're commuting or cruising, the YU7 is geared to impress even the most sceptical tech nerds.
Salary sacrifice allows you to pay for your electric car before income tax. The same applies to servicing, tyres and motor insurance, saving you a bundle on your running costs too. What's more, there's
It’s a single monthly deduction from your gross pay – before income tax and national insurance contributions. It's typically about half the cost of an equivalent PCP or personal lease. A no-brainer.
