Lei confirmed that Xiaomi has delivered over 258,000 units of the SU7. While the pricing of the YU7 will be announced at the official launch in July 2025, Lei ruled out a rumoured 199,000 yuan (27,600 USD) starting price for the YU7.
The YU7 is a mid-to-large electric SUV built on the company’s Modena platform, measuring 4999 mm in length, 1996 mm in width, and 1608 mm in height, with a 3000 mm wheelbase.
