Xiaomi's second electric car, the YU7 crossover, was shown live for the first time.

Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun personally showcased the new electric crossover Xiaomi YU7 to the public by posting a series of photos on social media.

A full presentation of the new model is expected this coming summer, but a lot is already known about Xiaomi's second electric vehicle from various rumors and leaks.

As seen in the released photos, the YU7 will retain the recognizable style of Xiaomi's debut electric car — the SU7 sedan. Its front resembles a more rounded version of the SU7, with similar headlight shapes and a signature light element running across the entire front panel.

Like the SU7, the upcoming YU7 is equipped with a lidar, mounted on the edge of the roof, suggesting advanced driver assistance systems. The crossover's unusual wheels also catch the eye, with wheel design inspired by a turbofan engine. However, previous leaks have revealed that Xiaomi plans to offer 26 different wheel design options for the YU7.

As previously published online, it is known that the Xiaomi YU7 is a mid-size crossover with dimensions of 4999 × 1996 × 1608 mm and a wheelbase of 3000 mm. Like the Xiaomi SU7, the YU7 is expected to be offered in several versions with different powertrain options. The basic versions will feature a single electric motor on the rear axle with a power of 235 kW (315 hp) and a lithium iron phosphate battery.

More expensive trims will receive a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system, including a front motor with 220 kW (295 hp) and a rear motor with 288 kW (376 hp), providing a total power of 508 kW (681 hp). The all-wheel-drive versions of the Xiaomi YU7 will be equipped with a triple lithium battery.

According to previous reports, Xiaomi plans to release the YU7 in China between June and July 2025. The estimated price range is from 300,000 yuan ($41,000) to 400,000 yuan ($55,000). The international market might gain access to the model a bit later — Xiaomi plans to start exporting its vehicles outside China starting in 2027.
