Xiaomi shakes up the electric market with the YU7 GT, a very powerful SUV with 1000 horsepower.
Xiaomi has decided not to let a single quarter pass without making some news. Welcome to the YU7 GT, a 1000-horsepower SUV capable of exceeding 300 km/h. The Chinese brand is applying an almost obsessive method that has proven successful with its major rival Tesla.
The YU7 GT joins the 2026 lineup alongside the SU7, a large electric sedan, mimicking Tesla’s model with the Model 3 and Model Y. Like the American manufacturer, Xiaomi offers extreme variants: the SUV’s GT and the sedan’s Ultra represent ultimate performance, akin to Tesla’s Performance and Plaid versions. The goal is clear: to create a halo effect to establish the brand’s credibility while selling standard models in volume.
A thousand horses at a bargain price
Under the hood, the YU7 GT combines a front motor of 386 horsepower and a rear motor of 603 horsepower, for a total of 738 kW. With a 0 to 100 km/h expected around 2 seconds, it ranks among the fastest electric SUVs in the world. Its wide and aggressive design, with 21-inch wheels, red calipers, and an imposing rear diffuser, confirms that it is not just a simple software update but a true sports machine.
On the pricing side, Xiaomi aims for an astonishing price around $60,000, a more than attractive positioning for an SUV of this power, while the SU7 Ultra is slightly higher. It should be noted that some Ferrari options are more expensive than a Xiaomi YU7 with false airs of Purosangue… The strategy is clear: attract attention with spectacular models while generating volume with classic versions.
