Xiaomi's electric vehicle unit has announced its highly anticipated high-performance all-electric SUV model, the YU7 GT, will officially launch on May 21. The launch event will also feature the release of mobile devices including the Xiaomi 17 Max smartphone, new clip-on earphones, and the Band 10 Pro smart band.
The company's EV unit has stated that display cars for the YU7 GT are currently available in 268 stores across 82 cities in China, allowing consumers to get a close-up look at the new exterior colors, including Crimson Red, Volcano Grey, and Sunset Purple.
The YU7 GT boasts a powerful dual-motor system delivering a combined maximum power of up to 738 kW (990 hp), making it one of the most powerful electric vehicles in its class.
In terms of performance, the new model can reach a top speed of 300 kilometers per hour and has an all-electric range of 705 kilometers under the CLTC test cycle.
The regular YU7 was launched in June 2025 with a starting price of 253,500 yuan, but the GT model is expected to be priced around 400,000 yuan ($58,950), making it a premium offering in the market.
Xiaomi's EV unit has emphasized that unlike the SU7 Ultra sedan, which focuses on top-tier track lap times, the YU7 GT strikes a careful balance among high performance, luxurious comfort, and long range.
The new car features an iconic long hood and a sports-car-level wide-body design, and is equipped with carbon-ceramic brake discs, jointly tuned by Chinese and European experts to ensure its stability in corners and premium driving quality during long-distance travel.
The roll-out of this new model will further strengthen Xiaomi's competitive position in the premium EV market, where the company has delivered 36,702 vehicles in April, up 28.40% year-on-year and up 71.18% from March.
With its high-performance capabilities and luxurious features, the YU7 GT is poised to attract attention from both domestic and international customers looking for a premium electric vehicle experience.
The YU7 GT's balance of high performance and long-range comfort is a key selling point in the premium EV market.
