About YU7

If the SU7 proved Xiaomi could build a car, the YU7 proved it could build a phenomenon. Unveiled in mid-2025, the midsize electric SUV takes the SU7's sleek, Porsche-flavored design language and stretches it into a high-riding five-seater with a long wheelbase and a roomy cabin. Its launch triggered one of the most remarkable order rushes in automotive history, with reservations reported in the hundreds of thousands within hours, a figure that made waiting lists stretch well into the following year.

The YU7 shares much of its technology with the SU7, including powerful electric motors, fast-charging hardware and Xiaomi's tightly integrated cabin software linking the car with phones, tablets and smart-home devices. Reviewers have praised its performance, comfort and technology, while questioning long delivery waits, the reliance on touchscreens and whether Xiaomi's driver-assistance features are as capable as its marketing suggests. A sportier YU7 GT has joined the lineup for buyers who want more performance.

The YU7 is aimed squarely at the Tesla Model Y, China's best-selling SUV, and at rivals including the Nio Onvo L60, XPeng G6, Li Auto i6, Zeekr 7X and the BYD Sealion and Tang families. It is built in Beijing and sold primarily in China, with Xiaomi signaling interest in overseas markets. Its success has made it a key driver of Xiaomi's car business, which has grown rapidly into a significant part of the company.

Coverage follows deliveries and waiting times, pricing, new versions, regulatory changes affecting door handles and driver assistance, recalls and reviews, plus Xiaomi's broader results and the rivalry with Tesla. As Xiaomi adds larger SUVs and refreshes its lineup, the YU7's place in the family, and its staying power once the launch hype fades, will be among the most closely watched stories in China's car market, and a fair test of whether a consumer-electronics brand can keep customers loyal through a second and third car.
