Xiaomi filed the YU7 GT with China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the numbers are absurd: 738 kW (990 hp) from dual motors (288 kW front, 450 kW rear), a claimed 0-100 km/h time approaching 2 seconds, and a top speed of 300 km/h. This is a five-seat SUV that weighs 2,460 kg and runs on staggered 265/40R21 front and 295/35R21 rear tires.
At 5,015 mm long, 2,007 mm wide, and 1,597 mm tall on a 3,000 mm wheelbase, the YU7 GT is a full-size performance SUV. CATL supplies the ternary lithium battery pack. Range and pricing weren't included in the filing.
Context Within Xiaomi's Lineup
The standard YU7's most powerful variant makes 508 kW (681 hp) with a 0-100 time of 3.23 seconds. The GT adds 230 kW to that figure by upgrading the rear motor from 288 kW to 450 kW and keeping the same 288 kW front unit. That 45% power increase on a car that was already among the fastest SUVs in China positions the GT as a statement model.
Xiaomi's SU7 Ultra sits above everything at 1,138 kW (1,526 hp), but that's a sedan with track aspirations. The YU7 GT is designed for the road, where 990 hp in a 2,460 kg SUV translates to a power-to-weight ratio of 400 hp per ton. For reference, the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT manages 339 hp per ton.
Xiaomi's Accelerating Pace
The YU7 standard model already topped China's BEV sales chart in January 2026 with 37,924 deliveries. Xiaomi is building cars at a pace that took most startups five years to reach, and it's doing it in its second year. The GT variant extends the YU7 lineup upward without requiring a new platform, new factory, or new supplier relationships. It's a motor swap and a tire upgrade on a vehicle that's already in mass production.
No launch date or pricing was included in the MIIT filing. Given Xiaomi's speed to market with the SU7 and standard YU7, expect the GT to reach Chinese showrooms within months of regulatory approval.
