An electric crossover that hits 1.000 horsepower, promises 300 km/h, and comes with a price tag that will raise more than an eyebrow. The new Xiaomi YU7 GT, older sister of the brand's latest release, raises the bar on performance and design, showing how the Chinese brand is playing a much more ambitious game in the world of high-performance electric cars.
Xiaomi YU7 GT: 900 hp at 300 km/h. Here are all the features.
Under the hood of the Xiaomi YU7 GT there are two electric motors: 288 kW at the front e 450 kW at the rear, for a total power of 738 kW, equal to 990 hp. These numbers lead the crossover to declare a peak of 300 km/h, a figure that redefines what an electric SUV can do when performance becomes a priority (along with maximum safety, of course).
The preliminary price in China is expected to start from 450.000 yuan, equivalent to approximately €55.000. A figure that, in relation to the power offered, makes the YU7 GT an interesting proposition in the high-performance electric segment, especially when compared to European or US alternatives.
The design of the Xiaomi YU7 GT plays on aggression: redesigned front bumper, widened fenders, pronounced rear diffuser and red GT badge. 21-inch wheels and the red brake calipers hint at the use of carbon-ceramic discs, a technical choice consistent with power of this level.
Its dimensions suggest a substantial crossover: 5.015 mm long, 2.007 mm wide, 1.597 mm tall, and a 3.000 mm wheelbase. These numbers guarantee interior space and a solid platform to handle the torque and power of the dual motors.
On the battery front, the YU7 GT mounts a triple lithium-ion unit by CATLBattery life and charging times are not yet official, but the choice of supplier suggests high standards.
The MIIT documents also reveal a extensive customization program: decorative elements for headlights and mirrors, various types of rear spoilers, different wheel designs, brake caliper colors, and body stickers. Options that allow you to customize the GT to your taste without compromising its sporty character.
