Xiaomi is teasing a high-performance version of its YU7 electric SUV, recently spotted undercover on the streets of China. Coming on the heels of the SU7 Ultra sedan’s success, the alleged “YU7 Ultra” looks set to bring supercar-level performance to the SUV market.
Spotted under wraps
On July 10, ChinaEVHome shared photos of a camouflaged YU7 Ultra prototype. While it retains the sleek silhouette of the standard YU7, it adds sportier touches: bigger air intakes, flared wheel arches, and a more aggressive stance.
Reports indicate the YU7 Ultra will use the same dual-motor setup as the SU7 Ultra, packing a staggering 1,548 horsepower and 1,770 Nm of torque. Early estimates suggest a 0–100 km/h time of around 2.5 seconds, even with a slightly smaller 93.7 kWh NMC battery (versus the standard YU7’s 96.3 kWh pack).
If true, the YU7 Ultra would position itself as one of the fastest electric SUVs on the market. Considering Xiaomi’s standard YU7 is already in high demand—with 300,000 orders and wait-lists stretching over a year—interest in its ultra version is likely to be intense.
When and where?
The YU7 Ultra could debut in early 2026 in China, priced above the top-tier YU7 Max, though international availability remains unclear. There’s even talk of a larger sibling, the “YU9,” joining the lineup.
Bottom line: The camouflaged YU7 Ultra hints at a bold move by Xiaomi—bringing near-supercar acceleration to the SUV segment. Stick around; this could be one of the most exciting EV launches of 2026.
