Xiaomi announced that its new YU7 GT will be the first production car to use the upgraded V8s EVO “super motor,” boosting peak speed to 28,000 rpm, adding a self-developed silicon carbide power module for a 5.9% power increase, and reaching 98.38% efficiency with ultra-thin 0.15mm silicon steel laminations. The YU7 GT also debuts Xiaomi’s new “Jiaolong” (蛟龙) chassis Master Edition, pitched as a luxury-grade setup tuned at the Nürburgring and featuring dual-valve CDC dampers, closed dual-chamber
Xiaomi's integration of the V8s EVO motor and Jiaolong chassis in the YU7 GT signals increased vertical integration of EV powertrain and chassis tech, affecting supplier dynamics and performance benchmarks. Tech professionals should track silicon carbide power module adoption and advanced motor materials impacting efficiency and thermal design.

Xiaomi Automobile confirmed the YU7 GT ran the Nürburgring Nordschleife to validate vehicle stability and cornering across extreme conditions, not merely to chase lap times. The YU7 GT that set the production EV SUV record carried a "track professional kit" (semi-slick tires, widened rear fenders) and Nürburgring-authorized safety modifications like a full roll cage and racing seats. Xiaomi says the GT pairs a new V8s EVO high-efficiency motor with a V6s Plus front motor for 1,003 hp, a 101.7 kWh ternary lithium battery, 897V SiC platform and 5.2C charging, yielding a claimed 705 km CLTC range. Features like eLSD electronic limited-slip differential, dual-chamber air springs and underbody protection target long-distance sporty touring rather than hardcore off-roading. OTA rollout and HyperOS 1.16.2 updates were also discussed.
Xiaomi unveiled specifications for the YU7 GT ahead of its May 21 launch, highlighting luxury and performance features. The production model will include four-seat massage functions (4 airbag layers, 3 intensities, 6 modes), an intelligent dimming panoramic roof (up to 99.85% shading, 99.9% UV/IR rejection) and an "ultra-quiet" cabin with sound-damping PVB glass and over 30 upgraded insulation points. The YU7 GT uses Xiaomi's next-gen V8s EVO electric motor (up to 28,000 rpm, in-house SiC power module, +5.9% power, 98.38% efficiency) and offers extensive carbon-fiber and Alcantara interior/exterior options, including an optional 24K gold carbon emblem and 21-inch forged wheels. Xiaomi positions the YU7 GT as a premium, performance-oriented EV for discerning buyers.
Xiaomi founder and CEO Lei Jun announced the YU7 GT, a high-performance, long-distance-focused SUV positioned for "modern elites," and warned it will be relatively expensive. The YU7 GT promises over 1,000 hp, a top speed of 300 km/h, and a CLTC range of 705 km, plus high-end hardware such as Ultra-series carbon-ceramic brakes and the new V8s EVO electric motor (28,000 rpm, self-developed SiC power module, 98.38% efficiency). Xiaomi also revealed a premium "Jiaolong" chassis with dual-valve CDC dampers, closed dual-chamber air springs, and an eLSD for millisecond torque distribution. The car will be officially unveiled on May 21 at 19:00 with live coverage.
