Xiaomi says YU7 GT will debut at the end of May after Beijing auto show reveal

Xiaomi has put a firm launch window on the YU7 GT, saying the performance version of its YU7 SUV will be officially launched at the end of May 2026. The announcement, made at the 2026 Beijing auto show, moves the model from a show-floor preview to a defined commercial step in Xiaomi’s electric-vehicle rollout.

YU7 GT gets a late-May launch date

The company’s latest statement gives the YU7 GT a clearer timetable than earlier teasers and turns attention toward production readiness, order timing and how Xiaomi plans to position the car in the crowded performance-EV segment. Xiaomi has not publicly detailed full specifications in this announcement, but the naming and launch timing indicate the company is preparing a more aggressive, higher-output version of the YU7 line.

Beijing auto show adds a second YU7 storyline

Alongside the launch timing, Xiaomi also used the Beijing exhibition to present its Vision Gran Turismo concept, a separate design study tied to the company’s work with Sony’s Gran Turismo franchise. The dual reveal suggests Xiaomi is using the auto show not just to keep the YU7 in the spotlight, but also to broaden its automotive image beyond a single production model.

Why the schedule matters now

For Xiaomi, putting the YU7 GT on a late-May clock matters because it narrows the gap between concept-style visibility and a market event that can affect deliveries, pricing, and competitive comparisons. In China’s fast-moving EV market, a dated launch plan is often the first sign that a model is moving from promotion to actual commercialization.

The YU7 GT now becomes the next concrete test of how quickly Xiaomi can translate its car-business momentum into a higher-performance product line.
