Chinese electronics manufacturer-turned automaker, Xiaomi, has officially launched the highly anticipated Xiaomi YU7, the brand’s second EV model and its first-ever SUV.

While the YU7 (pronounced as ‘YU’ 7) seems to take styling cues from the Ferrari Purosangue Crossover SUV, Xiaomi’s high-performance luxury SUV shares the same evolutionary design language as the SU7 sedan.

Xiaomi describe YU7 as a mid-to-large SUV, with dimensions of 4999 mm (L) × 1996 mm (W) × 1600 mm (H) and a 3000 mm wheelbase. The cabin offers generous accommodations with 100 mm front headroom, 77 mm rear headroom, and 73 mm rear legroom.

While the U7 retains the brand’s distinctive design language, the SUV stands out with distinct taillight that features downward-angled corners that accentuate its commanding posture.

The YU7 introduces an all-new electric-flush door handle system and three nature-inspired paint finishes : Titanium Silver, Lava Orange and the Emerald Green – the latter a standout hue typically reserved for premium sports cars.
