Emir BardakçıThe car world is all set with excitement as Xiaomi’s most-awaited electric car, the YU7, is getting ready to embark on its high-profile launch. Wang Hua, Public Relations General Manager of Xiaomi Group, has already announced the YU7’s participation in an upcoming car show during a social media exchange.
This is one of the most crucial steps that the Chinese electronics firm’s automotive segment has taken in getting set up before making its debut with the vehicle. The tech company has been gradually shifting from producing smartphones to becoming all-around technology ecosystems providers, and electric vehicles are their most adventurous project so far.
Mystery Surrounds Next Car Show Appearance
When prodded by the public about the YU7’s return to the limelight, Wang Hua did not deny that the elegant electric sedan will appear at some upcoming auto show. He, however, kept in suspenseful vagueness the specific one in question. And when one netizen proposed the Guangzhou Auto Show in November, Wang categorically replied, “I can only say that your answer is wrong.”
This calculated vagueness has generated rumors among Chinese car enthusiasts and auto experts alike:
- Beijing Motor Show (April)
- Chengdu Auto Show (Aug/Sep)
- Other international venues possibly being considered
YU7 Technical Specifications and Release Date
The YU7 from Xiaomi is set to be released between June and July in 2025, and it will be a strong player in the high-end electric vehicle market. The vehicle has been spotted in Chinese government filings with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and in those, its range is very impressive:
- 835 kilometers
- 820 kilometers
- 810 kilometers
- 725 kilometers
Although the actual testing conditions of these range rates are not disclosed, these figures place the YU7 in competition with incumbent electric vehicle producers.

Xiaomi vehicle owners will enjoy the company’s strong software system. They are able to keep the car connect systems up to date by using the HyperOS Updates platform or by installing the MemeOS Enhancer app from the Play Store.

The company’s move into the car industry is one that dramatically expands the firm’s tech ecosystem, with the promise of applying its connectivity, user experience, and intelligent feature knowledge to the roads.
