Xiaomi YU7 design and bundles unveiled in a new leak
The Xiaomi YU7 electric crossover has passed the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) certification and is ready to premiere, according to an insider Digital Chat Station on social network Weibo.
Here's What We Know
Rear nameplate photos confirm that the YU7, similar to the SU7 sedan, will have a top-of-the-line Max version at launch. According to the unveiled images, the YU7 in the Max version will get carbon fibre rear spoilers. This lightweight material with a distinctive pattern is also present on the mirror housings and even inside the headlamps of the car.
Presumably, this is the same modification with 691 hp reported in previous leaks. The model name will be available in two designs: glossy silver or matte black letters, with the 'Max' prefix in red.
The car will also feature Xiaomi logos (including the traditional 'square' Mi symbol) and the manufacturer's name in simplified Chinese in various places. Additionally, there will be a new Hyper Autonomous Driving (HAD) designation on the side panel, indicating advanced autonomous driving capabilities.

MIIT has also documented 26 variations of the YU7's wheel designs. However, most of them are standard six-spoke rims with different colour accents. The colours range from white pink and are probably meant to be combined with different body colour options other than the dark blue shown in most of the leaked photos. The images also hint at a choice between red and yellow brake calipers.
According to this information, the YU7 is all set to join its predecessor SU7 Ultra in the Chinese market soon. Earlier it became known that thanks to the new crossover Xiaomi plans to sell more electric cars in China in 2025 than all German brands combined.
