Recent spy shots of the upcoming Xiaomi YU7 SUV provide the first detailed look at its interior, showcasing a high-tech and sporty cabin. The leaked images reveal a futuristic dashboard design, advanced digital interfaces, and premium materials, positioning the YU7 as a serious competitor in the EV market.
A key highlight is the absence of a traditional instrument cluster, replaced by a Panoramic Head-Up Display (PHUD) that projects key driving information onto the windshield. The centre console features a floating infotainment screen, slightly smaller than the Xiaomi SU7 sedan, which is likely for better integration with the PHUD. Running on Xiaomiโs HyperOS, the system offers deep connectivity with Xiaomiโs smart devices.
The flat-bottom steering wheel, wrapped in Alcantara and carbon fibre, enhances sportiness and luxury. It includes physical controls, a red โBoost Modeโ button for performance-focused driving, and another for activating advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). Premium materials and dual-tone red and white leather upholstery elevate the cabinโs upscale feel. The driverโs seat features an electric legrest for added comfort, while the YU7โs 3,000mm wheelbase ensures ample rear legroom.
Technological enhancements include wireless charging pads and electronic door handles. A discreetly integrated LiDAR sensor on the roof hints at advanced autonomous driving capabilities. While interior details dominate the leaks, glimpses of the exterior show a sleek, coupe-like silhouette, hidden door handles, a panoramic sunroof, and a transparent U-shaped taillight with an active spoiler.
Set to launch in June 2025, the YU7 is positioned to compete with the Tesla Model Y, with a starting price expected around 250,000 yuan (approximately 34,200 USD). It is expected to feature a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup, delivering around 500 horsepower. The SUV will likely utilize an 800V electrical architecture, supporting fast charging and a range of over 700 km. An adaptive air suspension system aims to balance comfort and dynamic handling.
Sharing platform elements with the SU7 (see specs), the YU7 may incorporate Xiaomiโs in-house-developed powertrain and fast-charging capabilities for long-distance travel. As its launch date nears, more details on its performance and specifications are anticipated.
