Xiaomi teases the YU7 GT's impressive performance numbers

Xiaomi is going to finally fully unveil the much-anticipated YU7 GT next month. The YU7 GT is, as the name implies, the performance version of the company's first SUV, the YU7, which launched last year. It's the YU7's slightly toned down version of the SU7 Ultra, basically, with a different name.

Ahead of the full unveiling, Xiaomi has now teased a few of the YU7 GT's performance numbers at an event in China. The car will have a power output of 1,003 PS or 989 hp.

Its top speed will be 186 mph and its maximum range, according to the CLTC standard, will reach 438 miles. According to Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun, the YU7 GT is the company's first car that has received deep involvement from its European R&D center, with the aim to give it a "precise driving dynamic" that feels "German-tuned".

If we were to speculate, we'd say that this may also be why the GT name was used - it sounds more European than "Ultra", doesn't it? Anyway, Xiaomi's European launch in 2027 can't come soon enough.
