Xiaomi's First Electric SUV: YU7 Set for Global Debut on May 22
On May 21, Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun took to social media to unveil a brand-new colorway for the company’s first all-electric SUV — the Xiaomi YU7. Officially named “Emerald Green”, this striking new shade draws inspiration from Colombian emeralds, with a double-layer paint process that captures the gem’s premium texture and shifting tones under different lighting.
The timing couldn’t be more exciting. Xiaomi has confirmed that the YU7 will be officially launched globally on May 22 at 7:00 PM — marking a significant milestone as the brand’s first-ever pure electric SUV.
💎 A Design That Stands Out
Since its initial teaser in December last year, the YU7 has generated considerable buzz. This mid-to-large-size electric coupe SUV features bold styling cues reminiscent of the Xiaomi SU7, Ferrari Purosangue, and even the Toyota Crown — leading many to nickname it the “electric Purosangue”.
In terms of size, the YU7 commands attention:
Length: 4,999 mm
Width: 1,996 mm
Height: 1,600 mm
Wheelbase: 3,000 mm
Compared to rivals like the BYD Sea Lion 07 and Tesla Model Y, the YU7 is notably larger, giving it a more commanding road presence.
⚡ High-Performance Electric Powertrain
The YU7 is expected to inherit Xiaomi SU7’s high-performance EV platform, featuring a ternary lithium battery pack from CATL’s subsidiary and an 800V electrical architecture. Performance specs (based on current leaks) include:
Single-motor version: 235 kW
Dual-motor AWD version: 508 kW (approx. 691 horsepower)
0–100 km/h acceleration: in the 3-second range
Top speed: 253 km/h
This performance would place the YU7 firmly in the upper tier of electric SUVs.
🧠 Smart Interior Meets Premium Comfort
The interior of the YU7 is designed with both tech enthusiasts and comfort seekers in mind. It features:
15.6-inch floating central touchscreen
Panoramic Head-Up Display (PHUD) that projects speed and navigation info directly onto the windshield
Zero-gravity seats (available on high-end trims)
Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel & carbon fiber trim
Wireless charging panel, dual-opening armrest, and built-in cup holders
The blend of luxury materials and tech-forward design creates a cabin that’s both futuristic and functional.
🚀 Advanced Xiaomi Pilot 4.0 Autonomous Driving
Xiaomi is bringing its latest autonomous driving suite to the YU7 — Xiaomi Pilot 4.0, equipped with:
LiDAR sensor
Dual NVIDIA Orin-X chips with 508 TOPS of computing power
Features: highway navigation assist, automated valet parking, and future OTA updates enabling urban NOA (Navigate on Autopilot)
📈 A Strategic Step Beyond the SU7
Following the runaway success of the SU7 — which has already delivered over 240,000 units in just a few months — the launch of the YU7 signals Xiaomi’s transition from a single-hit wonder to a diversified EV lineup.
If Xiaomi can align its pricing and production capacity with market expectations, the YU7 — combining long range, high performance, and smart features — could be one of the most disruptive electric SUVs of 2025.
⏰ Stay tuned for the official reveal of the Xiaomi YU7 on May 22 at 7:00 PM. This could be the next big shake-up in the global EV market.
