Nikita Chuicko, the virtual artist better known as "kelsonik" on social media, thinks that now is the right CGI time to work on the Xiaomi YU7

The Xiaomi YU7 is the latest electric SUV from China, designed to challenge Tesla’s Model Y. Official photos of the Xiaomi YU7 have surfaced online, along with key specs from MIIT. The 681hp crossover looks like a budget-friendly Ferrari Purosangue with a McLaren nose.

Now, Xiaomi is working on a second model, a compact SUV called the YU7. Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun took to social media on Monday to share the first official photos of the YU7 after images of the SUV surfaced on the website of the China Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

While the front end of the YU7 appears similar to the SU7 sedan, it’s the rear quarter bulges and the roofline that is Purosangue-esque. When viewed from the rear-quarter angle, the Purosangue and the YU7 wear different LED taillights but the shapes of the body do indeed closely resemble each other.

That said, the styling does remind us of a certain crossover from Ferrari. The While the front end does follow Xiaomi’s design language, the body bares a striking resemblance to the Purosangue. Whether it’s coincidence or not is up for debate, but it’s safe to say that the company wants to leave a strong impression.

Chinese smartphone giant Xiaomi has revealed its new YU7 sports utility vehicle (SUV) that it expects to commercially release in mid-2025, taking on similar models from Tesla, Li Auto and Nio in the world's largest electric vehicle (EV) market.

Xiaomi has taken the wraps off its second model, the YU7 SUV. Based on the SU7 sedan, the electric vehicle marks the world’s third-largest smartphone manufacturer’s foray into the SUV segment. Xiaomi has said it will be available in China by July 2025,
