The Xiaomi YU7 GT enters the market with a starting price of 389,900 yuan (57,300 USD). Customers can also opt for the “GT Sports Kit” priced at 34,000 yuan (5,000 USD), which is currently available at a limited-time promotional price of 14,000 yuan (2,100 USD). The fully-equipped “Big Full Pack” version is priced at 429,900 yuan (63,200 USD). Performance and EngineeringThe “GT” designation, derived from the Italian Gran Turismo (Great Tour), reflects the vehicle’s positioning as a racing-grade SUV optimised for long-distance travel. At its heart lies Xiaomi’s V8s EVO motor. This motor achieves a maximum speed of 28,000 rpm and utilises a self-developed silicon carbide (SiC) power module, increasing power by 5.9%. With ultra-thin 0.15 mm stator and rotor silicon steel sheets, the motor boasts an efficiency of 98.38%. The YU7 GT delivers a staggering peak power of 738 kW (990 hp). This allows the SUV to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.92 seconds, reaching a top speed of 300 km/h. It is equipped with a 101.7 kWh ternary lithium battery based on a 897V SiC high-voltage platform, capable of adding 570 km of range in 15 minutes of charging. The total CLTC range is rated at 705 km. Chassis and brakingXiaomi has equipped the vehicle with the “Jiaolong Chassis Master Edition,” which has been fine-tuned on the Nürburgring. The setup includes dual-valve CDC dampers for two-way damping adjustment, closed dual-chamber air springs for independent height and stiffness control, and an eLSD (electronic limited-slip differential) that distributes power between the rear wheels in milliseconds. For stopping power, the YU7 GT features a track-ready braking system with oversized carbon-ceramic discs and high-performance Akebono callipers (six-piston front, four-piston rear). This system enables a 100-0 km/h braking distance of only 32.9 m and maintains performance without fading even after ten consecutive 180-0 km/h stops. Design Colours of Xiaomi YU7 GT. The YU7 GT is available in five colours across four series: “Crimson Red” (Sports), “Volcanic Grey” (Luxury), “Obsidian Black” and “Pearl White” (Classic), and “Titanium” (Fashion). The exterior and interior offer extensive carbon fibre options, including a 24K gold-carbon fibre badge. Inside, the cabin is wrapped in 2.3 square meters of Alcantara. The vehicle comes standard with four-seat massage functionality, a smart dimming canopy with 99.85% light shielding, and an “ultra-quiet” cabin. This quietness is achieved through multi-layer PVB acoustic glass for the windshield, doors, and canopy, along with over 30 noise-insulation upgrades. The audio experience is powered by a 25-speaker luxury sound system supporting Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and Dolby Atmos.
