[Beijing, June 16, 2025] – Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun officially confirmed on Weibo that the long-anticipated Xiaomi YU7 electric SUV will be officially launched at the end of June. The lineup will feature three versions:
- Xiaomi YU7 (Long Range RWD)
- Xiaomi YU7 Pro (Long Range AWD)
- Xiaomi YU7 Max (High-Performance AWD)
The YU7 series marks Xiaomi’s next major step in the EV industry, targeting the premium all-electric SUV market with competitive performance, intelligent driving, and outstanding structural safety.
Safety First: Industry-Leading 2200MPa Ultra-High-Strength Steel Door Beams
Lei Jun highlighted a major advancement in passive safety—each YU7 model will be equipped with four 2200MPa ultra-high-strength door impact beams across all front and rear doors. This structure significantly enhances protection in side-impact collisions by creating a solid barrier around the passenger cabin.
Compared to traditional 1500MPa beams, this upgrade offers:
- +52.4% front door load-bearing capacity
- +40.2% front door energy absorption capacity
- +37.6% rear door load-bearing capacity
- +25.4% rear door energy absorption capacity
This puts the YU7 among the top of its class in terms of passive crash safety for side collisions.
Three Variants Compared: Power, Range & Battery Types

| YU7 Max | 101.7kWh NMC | 760 km | AWD 508kW | 3.23s | 620km fast charge (15 mins), Brembo brakes |
The YU7 standard version targets maximum range with LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery chemistry and a CLTC range of 835 km, currently the longest among mid-to-large RWD EV SUVs in China.
The Pro variant upgrades to dual-motor AWD, boosting acceleration and traction while maintaining strong range.
The Max version pushes the envelope with a 101.7kWh NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) battery, 508kW peak power, and an astonishing 3.23-second 0-100 km/h sprint. It supports 5.2C ultra-fast charging, capable of replenishing 620 km of range in just 15 minutes.
