XIAOMI YU7 REVIEW - CHINA'S HOTTEST EV JUST GOT 200,000 ORDERS IN 3 MINUTES

EV Channels Review

The Xiaomi YU7 emerges as a significant step forward for the brand, building upon the success of the SU7 with a more premium and refined SUV package. The reviewer highlights its stunning design, particularly the metallic forest green color and the Ferrari Purisang-inspired lines, noting it looks even better in person than in photos. Inside, the YU7 significantly surpasses the SU7 in perceived quality, featuring luxurious materials like leather and real carbon fiber, and a cockpit-like ambiance. Practicality is a strong suit, with ample boot space (678L, expandable to 1758L) and a massive 141L frunk, plus innovative features like a magnetic rail system in the boot for accessories. The reviewer is particularly impressed by the thoughtful details and connectivity within the Xiaomi ecosystem, including the customizable magnetic mounting points and the unique 'Hypervision' display. Driving dynamics are praised, with precise steering, flat cornering thanks to dual-chamber air suspension, and exhilarating performance, especially in the Max trim (0-100 km/h in 3.23 seconds). The dual-chamber air suspension is standard on the Max version, offering adjustable ride height. Battery options provide good range (up to 835 km CLTC for the smaller battery) and exceptionally fast charging (10-80% in 12 minutes for the Max version). While the reviewer notes the lack of a rear wiper and a slightly limited low seating position, the overall verdict is overwhelmingly positive, positioning the YU7 as a highly competitive and desirable SUV that could significantly impact Xiaomi's sales and international market plans.
