Xiaomi’s YU7 GT Brings 1,003 HP and a 300 Km/h Top End to Beijing

Xiaomi used the Beijing Auto Show on April 24, 2026, to show the most aggressive version yet of its fast-rising EV lineup: the YU7 GT. The performance SUV arrives with 1,003 horsepower, a claimed 300 km/h top speed and a 705-km CLTC range, making it far more than a trim walk-up from the standard YU7.

Xiaomi YU7 GT turns the family SUV into a 1,003-hp flagship

The YU7 GT keeps the basic shape of the regular SUV but pushes the car into supercar territory on paper. Xiaomi says the dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup pairs a 288 kW front motor from Inovance Powertrain with a 450 kW rear motor developed in-house, for a combined output of 1,003 hp. The result is a top speed rated at 300 km/h, a figure that places the YU7 GT among the most extreme electric SUVs shown in China this year.

Wide-body aero and carbon-ceramic hardware set the tone

Visually, Xiaomi gave the GT a more muscular front bumper, wider front fenders, a larger rear diffuser and a center-mounted spoiler, all finished in a new Cherry Red color. The SUV rides on 21-inch wheels as standard, with additional wheel designs offered, and Xiaomi says carbon-ceramic brakes will be available as an option. The company also showed a broader personalization menu, including mirror caps, spoilers, badges, wheel designs and body decals.

Beijing show stage gives Xiaomi a louder performance message

The YU7 GT’s debut arrived alongside Xiaomi’s wider Beijing Auto Show display, where the company also showed the SU7, SU7 Ultra and the YU7. Xiaomi said it would stage a dedicated presentation for the YU7 and bring the Vision Gran Turismo concept to its domestic debut at the show. For Xiaomi, the GT is a clear attempt to stretch the brand beyond value-driven EV disruption and into the kind of headline-grabbing performance hardware that attracts enthusiasts as well as premium shoppers.

Why the YU7 GT matters beyond the spec sheet

The YU7 GT is not aimed at the mainstream SUV buyer; it is a halo model designed to project engineering confidence. Still, it matters because Xiaomi is now using vehicle performance, chassis hardware and design differentiation to build a car brand with its own identity, rather than relying on its consumer-electronics name recognition. If the production version lands close to the show car’s figures, Xiaomi will have a genuine benchmark vehicle on its hands, and one that could sharpen competition in China’s high-performance EV segment.

For now, the YU7 GT is best understood as Xiaomi’s most forceful statement yet that its automotive program is moving well beyond launch novelty.
