Recently, Xiaomi Automobile officially unveiled the mystery of its first SUV model, YU7, on the night of December 9, and announced the news to the public through a fascinating poster. It is reported that this highly anticipated new car is expected to be officially launched from June to July next year, and has quietly appeared in the 390th batch of Announcement of Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Products issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
With the rapid spread of news, the keyword "Xiaomi YU7" is like a strong storm, which quickly climbed to the peak of the hot search list of social platforms. Lei Jun, the helm, chairman and CEO of Xiaomi Company, also issued a document at the first time to explain the original intention of the publicity of the YU7 model. He said frankly that he hoped that the test vehicle could shed its heavy camouflage as soon as possible, so as to conduct a more comprehensive, detailed and large-scale long-term test, thus ensuring the excellent quality of the product.
According to the detailed declaration information provided by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the body size of YU7 is considerable, with a length of 4999mm, a width of 1996mm, a height of 1600mm and a wheelbase of 3000 mm.. This size data is quite close to Xiaomi’s existing SU7 model, but it has made a breakthrough in width and height, showing a more spacious driving space.
In terms of design, YU7 perfectly inherited the design essence of SU7, Xiaomi’s first car, showing a distinctive family style. Its front and rear shapes are exactly the same as those of the SU7, and the same front and rear light groups and fangs-shaped air intake design all reveal a strong sporty atmosphere. On the other hand, the side lines are similar to the Ferrari, showing a unique charm between SUV and sports station wagon.
The new car has also made great efforts in the details, providing a brand-new style of five-frame wheels and eye-catching yellow brake calipers, adding a bit of dynamism and vitality to the whole car. Xiaomi YU7 also provides consumers with another wheel hub style as an optional configuration. Its closed design is not only beautiful and elegant, but also helps to reduce the drag coefficient of the vehicle, thus improving the endurance.
In terms of technical configuration, YU7 also lived up to expectations. It is equipped with a dual-motor system provided by Suzhou Huichuan United Power System Co., Ltd., with a power configuration as high as 220/288kW and a comprehensive peak power of 691 HP, which is slightly higher than that of the SU7 MAX model. The new car can provide a top speed experience of 253km/h, allowing drivers to fully feel the collision between speed and passion. The producers of ternary lithium-ion battery monomer and assembly are from Jiangsu era and Zhongzhou era respectively, and both companies are affiliated to Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, which provides a strong power guarantee for new cars.
With the confirmation of the news that YU7 will be listed next summer and the rumors that SU7 Ultra is planned to be launched in March next year, the second phase of Xiaomi Automobile’s planned production in 2025 will face severe production demand challenges. This is undoubtedly a major test of Xiaomi’s automobile production capacity and supply chain management.
