Is Xiaomi YU7 Worth Buying?
Vehicle Highlights
-
With a CLTC range of 835 km and energy consumption of only 13.3 kWh/100 km, it leads its class in range capability, effectively alleviating range anxiety.
-
A top speed of 240 km/h paired with an advanced suspension system ensures both high-speed stability and excellent absorption of minor road imperfections.
-
Standard panoramic imaging system and third-row power seats, along with 4 USB ports in the front row, deliver both technological practicality and comfort.
Please Note
-
Fast charging takes 0.35 hours, outperforming most rivals but still not reaching the industry's fastest charging standards.
-
Trunk volume and rear legroom are slightly constrained relative to the vehicle's dimensions, impacting overall comfort.
-
The automatic parking system's accuracy in recognizing non-standard parking spaces needs enhancement, and energy consumption control at high speeds could be further optimized.

Competitive Comparison
We have identified three pure electric models with a starting price within $2,000 of the Xiaomi YU7 and compared their officially published parameters. The comparison reveals that the Xiaomi YU7 demonstrates comprehensive advantages in long range, high performance, and technological features when competing against peers such as the Li i6, Tang L EV, and Zhijie R7 in the mid-to-large-size all-electric SUV segment.
-
Range & Energy Efficiency CLTC range of 835 km significantly surpasses the Li i6 (720 km), Tang L EV (670 km), and Zhijie R7 (667 km). Its energy consumption of 13.3 kWh/100 km is excellently controlled, second only to the Zhijie R7 (13.1 kWh/100 km), positioning its range capability at the leading level in its class.
-
Charging Performance Fast charging time of 0.35 hours outperforms the Li i6 and Zhijie R7 (both 0.25 hours) but is slower than the benchmark-setting Tang L EV (0.1 hours). Overall energy replenishment efficiency ranks in the upper-middle tier.
-
Power Performance Maximum power of 235 kW and a top speed of 240 km/h tie it for first place with the Tang L EV. Its power performance exceeds that of the Li i6 (180 km/h) and Zhijie R7 (200 km/h), meeting high-performance driving demands.
-
Space & Practicality Body dimensions of 4999x1996x1608 mm are slightly smaller than the Tang L EV. However, with a cargo capacity of 678-1758 L, its space expandability is stronger than the Li i6 (fixed 728 L) but weaker than the Zhijie R7 (837-2130 L), resulting in a well-balanced overall loading capability.
-
Tech Features Equipped with a panoramic imaging system, transparent chassis view, and blind spot monitoring with side camera. Its driving assistance functions match those of the Li i6 and surpass the Tang L EV, which lacks side camera monitoring, offering comprehensive imaging system configuration.
-
Comfort & Convenience Power-adjustable seats are provided for both front and second-row seats, matching the Li i6 and Zhijie R7 in terms of seat electrification coverage. A total of 6 USB/Type-C ports are available, with the front row offering 4 ports—the highest number among the compared models.
Summary
The Xiaomi YU7 excels in range, top speed, energy efficiency, and tech features, while offering balanced and practical space and charging capabilities. Although its charging speed does not lead the segment, its comprehensive configuration and outstanding performance make it a highly competitive model in the mid-to-large-size all-electric SUV market.

Positive Feedback
Excellent Overall Space
Summary: Both the frunk (front trunk) and rear trunk have strong storage capacity, and the seating space is generous, easily accommodating luggage and gear for multi-person family trips.
-
"The Xiaomi YU7 has enough space to fit two child safety seats, luggage, and a stroller at once."
-
"I love road trips. The frunk has ample space, the rear trunk is also decent for the car’s size, and the seating space is more than enough."
Excellent Range and Performance
Summary: Acceleration is linear and stable, the range is reliable, effectively alleviating range anxiety.
-
"Acceleration is fast yet stable, with a smooth process that doesn’t cause motion sickness."
-
"It easily drives over 600km on a full charge. For users like us who commute daily and occasionally take weekend road trips, this reduces the mental stress (of range anxiety) a lot."
Great Driving Experience
Summary: It effectively filters out road bumps, and performs exceptionally well in terms of stability and quietness when driving at high speeds.
-
"It’s equipped with CDC (Continuous Damping Control) shock absorbers, and this MAX version in particular has dual-chamber air suspension, which filters out small, fine road bumps very thoroughly."
-
"Driving at high speeds is stable and quiet, offering a strong sense of comfort."
Negative Feedback
Small Rear Seat and Trunk Space
Summary: The rear trunk’s storage space is limited, and the rear seat legroom is slightly cramped, which affects comfort when the car is fully occupied.
-
"A lot of compromises were made on storage space—the rear trunk is really small. Once you pile some odds and ends in it, it feels almost full."
-
"The rear seat space is indeed small (I’m 185cm tall; after adjusting the front seat to my liking, there’s only a little over one fist of space left in the rear). If you’re tall-legged or have adults sitting in the rear regularly, you need to think carefully about this."
Unstable High-Speed Driving Performance
Summary: Energy consumption rises significantly when driving at high speeds, and there is room for improvement in controlling the vehicle’s posture during sudden acceleration with high horsepower.
-
"The battery drains quickly when driving on the highway; you basically have to estimate the range based on 500km (instead of the rated range)."
-
"When accelerating with 690 horsepower, the front of the car lifts slightly."
Unsatisfactory Automatic Parking
Summary: It does not identify obstacles like curbs accurately enough, and the success rate of identifying non-standard parking spaces needs improvement.
-
"When using automatic parking for parallel parking, the rear wheels would roll onto the curb, and the system still wouldn’t straighten the steering wheel."
-
"The automatic parking function doesn’t recognize spaces well in areas without parking lines—it’s hit or miss."
