Xiaomi positions the YU7 GT as a high-performance electric touring SUV validated on the Nürburgring to prove stability across extreme conditions rather than chase lap records. The production model uses a track professional kit and safety upgrades, and debuts the new V8s EVO “super motor” paired with a V6s Plus for a combined 1,003 hp, an 897V SiC platform, 101.7 kWh battery and 5.2C charging. Efficiency gains, ultra-thin laminations and a self-developed SiC power module push motor efficiency to ~98%. The Jiaolong chassis Master Edition adds dual-chamber air springs, dual-valve CDC dampers and an eLSD for precise torque distribution, emphasizing long-distance sporty touring over hardcore off-roading.
Xiaomi's YU7 GT showcases consumer tech brand expansion into high-performance EVs, blending advanced motor, power electronics and chassis tech relevant to EV engineering and supply chains. Its Nürburgring validation and delivery timeline signal commercialization of in-house high-efficiency SiC modules and ultra-high-power motor systems.

Xiaomi founder and CEO Lei Jun announced that the Xiaomi YU7 GT electric SUV will begin deliveries on Friday, May 29, with a special handover event at Xiaomi’s auto factory featuring brand ambassador Shu Qi and a factory tour. The YU7 GT, revealed May 21 as a “sports-grade SUV,” starts at ¥389,900 (¥429,900 for the top trim). It uses the next-gen V8s EVO motor (up to 28,000 rpm) with an in-house silicon carbide power module and ultra-thin 0.15mm silicon steel rotor/stator for 98.38% efficiency. Specs include 1,003 hp, 738 kW peak, 705 km CLTC range, 0–100 km/h in 2.92 s, 300 km/h top speed, and a 101.7 kWh battery on an 897V SiC high-voltage platform enabling up to 570 km added in 15 minutes charging.
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 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 air springs with independent height/stiffness control, and an eLSD for millisecond torque distribution to the rear wheels. The YU7 GT will be formally unveiled on May 21, with broader availability slated for late May.
