Xiaomi Auto has officially released a new batch of high-resolution images showing the upcoming Xiaomi YU7 GT in its striking new “Cherry Red” color option ahead of the vehicle’s official debut at the end of May. The company continues to build excitement around its second electric vehicle, positioning the YU7 GT as a high-performance electric SUV that combines sports car dynamics with long-distance touring comfort. The newly released images highlight the aggressive design language, aerodynamic body shape, and premium grand touring character of Xiaomi’s upcoming EV.
The official promotional message from Xiaomi emphasizes the emotional side of driving, describing the YU7 GT as a vehicle that “combines power and elegance” while transforming scenic journeys into part of the driving experience itself.
Xiaomi YU7 GT focuses on performance and GT driving experience
According to Xiaomi’s previous official teasers, the Xiaomi YU7 GT is being positioned as a “purebred GT car” designed for enthusiasts who want both high-speed performance and comfortable long-distance driving capability.
The company confirmed several impressive technical specifications for the vehicle:
- Maximum power: 1003 horsepower
- Top speed: 300 km/h
- CLTC electric range: 705 km
- Vehicle category: High-performance electric GT SUV
These figures place the Xiaomi YU7 GT among the most powerful electric SUVs currently announced in China. Xiaomi appears to be targeting a market segment traditionally dominated by premium European performance brands, while maintaining its own modern Xiaomi design philosophy.
Nürburgring-inspired chassis tuning
Xiaomi also revealed additional engineering details regarding the vehicle’s development process. The company stated that the Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit was used as the “best testing ground” for the vehicle’s suspension and chassis calibration.
The YU7 GT adopts what Xiaomi describes as a “warhorse stance,” featuring:
- Long hood proportions
- Wide-body sports car styling
- Low and aggressive aerodynamic profile
- GT-focused chassis setup
- High-speed stability tuning
Xiaomi claims this German-style tuning approach allows the YU7 GT to deliver fast and stable cornering while also improving long-distance driving comfort and overall ride confidence. The official images further showcase the muscular wheel arches, sporty diffuser design, and continuous front lighting signature that differentiates the GT variant from standard models.
Lei Jun confirms end-of-May launch
During the Xiaomi Auto Beijing International Auto Show press conference on April 24, Xiaomi founder Lei Jun officially confirmed that the Xiaomi YU7 GT will debut at the end of May.
The newly released Cherry Red color option appears to be one of the flagship launch colors for the performance SUV. The deep metallic red finish combined with black sporty accents gives the vehicle a more premium and aggressive appearance compared to earlier previews.
Interestingly, Xiaomi previously explained why the vehicle carries the “GT” branding instead of “Ultra.” According to the company, the YU7 GT is intended to be a grand touring performance SUV rather than an extreme track-focused race car. This strategy suggests Xiaomi wants the vehicle to balance everyday usability with supercar-level acceleration and speed.
