Xiaomi EV has shared more images of the exterior of the YU7, an SUV that is expected to hit the market in June or July 2025.
Xiaomi EV, the car-making arm of Chinese smartphone giant Xiaomi (HKG: 1810, OTCMKTS: XIACY), shared the first official images of its second EV model, the YU7, yesterday, after core specs were revealed in a regulatory filing.
Now, the EV maker has shared more images of the exterior of the YU7 SUV (sport utility vehicle), showing off more design details.
Four images posted on Weibo today show the YU7's head and tail design continuing the design of Xiaomi's first model, the SU7 sedan.
The YU7 is a standard SUV in terms of overall styling, but with a sportier look compared to most current SUVs.
Yesterday, Xiaomi EV announced on Weibo that its second EV model, named Xiaomi YU7, is expected to be officially launched in June or July next year.
At the same time, China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) yesterday announced the latest batch of models that would soon be allowed to be sold in its latest catalog, which includes the Xiaomi YU7, bringing its core specs to light.
Xiaomi founder, chairman, and CEO Lei Jun took to Weibo yesterday to explain why the filing for the YU7 was made so early.
“We hope the YU7's test vehicles can remove the heavy camouflage as early as possible, which will help us do more comprehensive and detailed long time mass testing to ensure product quality and make a better product,” Lei said.
In another Weibo post today, Lei said that Xiaomi is currently conducting large-scale road tests of the YU7, and reiterated that the model is expected to be officially launched in June or July next year.
The Xiaomi YU7 measures 4,999 mm in length, 1,996 mm in width and 1,600 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,000 mm, according to yesterday's regulatory filing.
The model weighs 2,405 kilograms and supports a top speed of 253 kilometers per hour.
The Xiaomi YU7 is powered by Li-ion ternary batteries from CATL, the capacity of which is currently unknown.
The model is powered by dual electric motors, with the front and rear motors having a peak power of 220 kW and 288 kW respectively.
There is no information on the Xiaomi YU7's price. SUVs are usually more expensive than sedans in China.
Xiaomi's first model, the SU7, was officially launched on March 28 and is available in three versions -- Standard, Pro, and Max -- with starting prices of RMB 215,900 ($29,780), RMB 245,900, and RMB 299,900, respectively.
