In a few months, Xiaomi will launch its second all-electric model, the YU7, which will be equipped with cutting-edge technology and we recently saw the first photos of the interior. Now, new information says that it will have a range of up to 770 kilometers.
The YU7 will be 4,999 mm long, 1,996 mm wide and 1,600 mm high, with a wheelbase of 3,000 mm and a weight of 2,405 kg. It continues the design language of its predecessor, the SU7, which has exceeded all expectations of the Chinese company since its launch.
The cabin is made of premium materials, purple and brown leather, and provides plenty of space for passengers. The driver’s seat has an electronic footrest, which increases comfort on long trips. There is also a Panoramic Head-Up Display (PHUD) instead of a traditional dashboard, a center console with an infotainment screen, slightly smaller than the one in the SU7, with Xiaomi’s HyperOS operating system that offers easy integration with other Xiaomi devices.
In front of the driver is an elegant and functional steering wheel, covered in Alcantara and carbon fiber, which has physical buttons for easy access to key functions. There is also a red “Boost Mode” button for rapid power delivery, i.e. even better performance, and there is a button to activate advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Additional equipment includes wireless chargers, electronic door handles, and a discreet LiDAR sensor mounted on the roof that clearly signals that the YU7 will offer advanced autonomous driving capabilities.
The YU7 will be available with two batteries: the 96.3 kWh (NMC) will provide a range of 770, 760 and 675 kilometers, while the 101.7 kWh (NMC) battery will offer a range of 670, 750 and 760 kilometers. When it comes to the powertrain, the YU7 will be offered in single and dual electric motor options. The dual-motor all-wheel-drive version has a total power of 691 hp (508 kW) and a top speed of 253 km/h. There is also a weaker all-wheel-drive version with two electric motors with a total power of 489 hp (365 kW). The single-motor rear-wheel-drive version has 315 hp (235 kW) and offers a top speed of 240 km/h.
Speaking of the price, the Xiaomi YU7 will start at around 31,100 euros.
