How to Buy YU7 in the USA
At present, Xiaomi has not announced official U.S. availability for the YU7. Similar to SU7 and SU7 Ultra, U.S. buyers must rely on import / compliance paths. Here are the steps:
1) Use Registered Importers
Work with DOT/EPA-certified importers who can handle homologation, safety compliance, software adjustments, and necessary changes (e.g. lighting, tire, TPMS). Timing and cost vary widely.
2) "Show or Display" / Limited-Use Import
For specialty vehicles, limited-use registration is possible under certain rules. But it's uncertain whether the YU7 will qualify early. Always verify with authorities.
3) Wait for Official U.S. Entry
If Xiaomi moves to offer the YU7 in the U.S., it will bring better aftersales, warranty, charging support, and likely adjusted specs. Tracking announcement is key.
Note: Expect pricing in the U.S. to significantly exceed China MSRP due to shipping, tariffs, homologation, and service support.
