Xiaomi has officially introduced the YU7 GT at the Beijing International Auto Show 2026, with its launch expected by the end of May. Positioned as a flagship model in the YU7 lineup, the GT focuses on delivering a balance between performance and everyday usability rather than extreme track performance.

The company clarified why this model is called “GT” instead of “Ultra.” While “Ultra” models are designed for maximum performance and track dominance, the YU7 GT follows the Grand Touring philosophy. This means it is built for high-speed driving combined with comfort and long-distance capability, rather than being a pure racing machine.

Under the hood, the YU7 GT features a powerful dual-motor setup, producing around 1003 PS. It can reach a top speed of up to 300 km/h, making it one of the fastest SUVs in its category. The vehicle is powered by a ternary lithium-ion battery, offering a claimed range of up to 705 km (CLTC), which supports long journeys without frequent charging stops.

In terms of design, the YU7 GT carries a sporty and aerodynamic look. It features signature water droplet headlights, multiple air vents for improved airflow, and a rear ducktail spoiler for added stability. The overall design focuses on both performance and efficiency.

The SUV also emphasizes stability and comfort, with a chassis tuned for high-speed driving and long-distance cruising. With its combination of strong performance, premium comfort, and extended range, the YU7 GT targets users who want speed without sacrificing practicality.

Overall, the YU7 GT stands out as a balanced performance SUV built for real-world driving, not just track records.
