Xiaomi YU7's single-motor edition unveiled in MIIT's catalogue

Shanghai (Gasgoo)- Recently, the latest catalogue with China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology ("MIIT") revealed the Xiaomi YU7 single-motor edition. Positioned as a mid-to-large SUV, this new model features a single-motor powertrain and is expected to be priced lower than the dual-motor version submitted last month.

The single-motor YU7 retains the same design as the dual-motor trim, including the roof-mounted LiDAR. Adopting Xiaomi's signature design language, the model features bullet-shaped headlights with multiple lenses, creating a sharp and focused appearance. The lower bumper incorporates large blacked-out air intakes with "fang-like" accents and side air ducts, enhancing its sporty appeal.

At the rear, the SUV showcases Xiaomi's distinctive taillight design, resembling an elongated "U" shape, offering high recognition. The rear bumper mirrors the SU7's styling and, combined with the roof spoiler, accentuates the sporty character.

The YU7 measures 4,999mm in length, 1,996mm in width, and 1,608mm in height, with a 3,000mm wheelbase. Notably, the single-motor version's height is 8mm greater than the dual-motor edition.

Powered by a single motor that is good for 235kW, the YU7 boasts a top speed of 240 km/h. The vehicle is equipped with a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery. Its curb weight has been reduced from 2,405kg in the dual-motor version to 2,315kg, enhancing efficiency and range.
