2026 Xiaomi YU7: 835 km Range, 315 hp, Confirmed Specs From $35,700

The Xiaomi YU7 has gone from a pre-launch rumor to one of China's hottest-selling EV SUVs, and this refresh replaces the speculative "estimated" specs in our original coverage with real, confirmed numbers from a current showroom unit. The entry-level rear-wheel-drive version makes 315 hp and 528 Nm of torque from a 96.3 kWh battery, good for 835 km CLTC range — and it starts at roughly $35,700, well below our original article's pre-launch guess of $36,000 for a car that turned out to have nearly 3x the torque we'd estimated.

Performance & Specs

The base rear-wheel-drive YU7 (Standard/Pro trims) makes 235 kW (315 hp) and 528 Nm of torque — both figures confirmed on-camera in this article's source video, cross-checked against official specs — for a 5.88-second 0-100 km/h time and 240 km/h top speed, drawing from a 96.3 kWh battery good for 835 km CLTC range. Step up to the dual-motor Max AWD and output climbs to 508 kW (681 hp) and 866 Nm, cutting the sprint to 3.23 seconds with a larger 101.7 kWh battery (760 km CLTC range) and a 253 km/h top speed. All versions run on an 800V silicon-carbide platform supporting up to 507 kW DC fast charging — 5.2C-capable, adding up to 620 km of range in just 15 minutes on the right charger. A range-topping YU7 GT variant also exists (990 hp, 705 km CLTC) but is covered separately on our site; this article focuses on the standard YU7 lineup shown in the source video.

Dimensions & Practicality

Length	4,999 mm
Width	1,996 mm
Height	1,600 mm
Wheelbase	3,000 mm

At 4,999 mm long on a 3,000 mm wheelbase, the YU7 is a genuinely large coupe-SUV — dimensions the reviewer's own on-camera measurements (rounded to 4.99 m / 1.6 m / 3.0 m) matched almost exactly. The trunk holds a claimed 678 litres, expanding to 1,754 litres with the rear seats folded, backed by a 141-litre front trunk — confirmed open on-camera in this article's source video, directly visible as a genuine usable cavity rather than a filler panel. Ground clearance is 140 mm.

Design & Interior

The reviewed unit's coupe-SUV silhouette carries Xiaomi's now-familiar design language, with a full-width LED taillight bar, functional rear spoiler, and LED headlights with automatic high beams. The interior pairs cream/white upholstery with fully electric front seats, a large center touchscreen, and a detachable phone-dock accessory that pulls out of the console and functions as a standalone device — a distinctive Xiaomi ecosystem touch. A center-console refrigerator and panoramic glass roof round out the cabin.

Technology & Features

The demo unit's interface does not have an English-language option out of the box — consistent with this being a China-market-only model, and something export/reseller channels typically handle as a separate localization step. Driver-assistance hardware includes a 360-degree camera system plus a 14-sensor array, confirmed hands-on. The reviewer noted the specific unit shown carries 2025-model-year styling cues (no illuminated rear light bar) versus the visually updated, currently-in-production 2026 GT variant sitting alongside it in the same showroom.

Available Versions

TRIM	DRIVETRAIN	BATTERY	RANGE (CLTC)	POWER	PRICE
Standard	RWD	96.3 kWh	835 km	315 hp	~$35,700
Pro	RWD	96.3 kWh	835 km	315 hp	~$39,400
Max	AWD, dual-motor	101.7 kWh	760 km	681 hp	~$46,500

Pricing & Availability

Pricing runs from roughly 253,500 to 329,900 CNY (about $35,700 to $46,500) across the Standard, Pro, and Max trims — matching the $36,000-$47,000 range the reviewer quoted on-camera almost exactly. The car is currently sold only in China; this article's source video was filmed by an independent reseller channel offering to source the vehicle and localize its interface to English for overseas buyers, not an official Xiaomi international sales channel. No official international launch has been announced as of this writing.

How It Compares

Against the Tesla Model Y, the base YU7 undercuts on price while offering considerably more range and torque, backed by Xiaomi's brand momentum in China. Against our own recently-covered ZEEKR 001, the YU7 is cheaper at the entry level with more outright range, though the ZEEKR counters with more power on its equivalent trims. The real story here is how far the actual production car outperformed the speculative pre-launch specs we originally published — real torque came in nearly 50% higher than our original guess, and real pricing landed lower than our original estimate despite far stronger performance.
