Xiaomi has officially commenced deliveries of the YU7 GT, the high-performance variant of its flagship mid-to-large electric SUV. With a starting price of 389,900 RMB (topping out at 429,900 RMB), the YU7 GT is poised to challenge the status quo in the performance EV segment.
The Xiaomi YU7 GT stands out with a staggering 1003 horsepower combined output, powered by the cutting-edge V8s EVO rear motor, making it a formidable contender for those seeking supercar-level performance in an SUV silhouette.
Exterior Design: Aggressive Aerodynamics
The YU7 GT builds upon the sleek design language of the standard YU7 but introduces functional aerodynamic upgrades. Key highlights include:
Aggressive Front Fascia: A more aggressive front bumper design featuring enlarged air intakes for improved cooling.
Motorsport-Inspired Rear: The rear is equipped with a dual-sided diffuser panel and an electrically adjustable diffuser—the same technology found in the track-proven SU7 Ultra—to optimize airflow and high-speed stability.
Exclusive Finish: The model debuts in an exclusive “Obsidian Black” colorway, reinforcing its premium and sporty appeal.
Interior: Performance-Oriented Luxury
Inside, the cabin maintains the minimalist layout of the standard YU7 but integrates high-performance details that cater to driving enthusiasts:
Sporty Accents: Carbon fiber trim adorns the dashboard sides, front seatbacks, and door welcome plates.
GT Branding: Bespoke “GT” embroidery is featured throughout the cabin to enhance brand exclusivity.
Digital Experience: The infotainment system features a dedicated “GT” UI. The dashboard interface includes real-time telemetry, such as the V8s EVO motor’s RPM, while the center display offers a dynamic racing-themed interface.
Powertrain and Performance: Unmatched Engineering
The heart of the YU7 GT is the new-generation V8s EVO super motor. Paired with the front-mounted V6s Plus motor, the vehicle achieves a combined power output of 1003 horsepower.
Key technical specifications include:
V8s EVO Motor: Offers a 5.9% power increase over the V8s, reaching 450 kW with an impressive efficiency rating of 98.38%.
Battery & Architecture: Equipped with a 101.7 kWh ternary lithium battery and an 897V high-voltage silicon carbide (SiC) platform, providing a CLTC range of up to 705 km.
Xiaomi “Jiaolong” Chassis Master Edition: Features dual-valve CDC shock absorbers and closed-type dual-chamber air springs, allowing for independent compression and rebound damping adjustment.
Enhanced Dynamics: An integrated eLSD (electronic limited-slip differential) in the rear motor ensures precise torque distribution, significantly improving handling in performance driving scenarios.
