Xiaomi's new SUV lineup is exposed. Three versions of the "YU9" have been successively revealed, and the YU7 GT will be launched at the end of May.

The suspected "family portrait" of Xiaomi's upcoming SUVs has been exposed. The five - seat, seven - seat, and pop - up tent versions of "YU9" may all make an appearance.

According to CheDongXi on April 30th, recently, a picture suspected of capturing multiple upcoming Xiaomi SUVs has gone viral on the Internet. It may include the YU7 GT to be released at the end of May, as well as the full - size SUV (possibly named Xiaomi "YU9") whose release time has not been announced yet.

It's worth noting that the information about Xiaomi YU9 exposed this time is much more abundant than before. The five - seat, seven - seat, and pop - up tent versions may appear simultaneously.

Moreover, according to the information declared by Xiaomi at the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Xiaomi may also be planning a more affordable YU7. The new car may use a smaller battery, with a curb weight reduced by 115kg, and the selling price may also be further reduced.

1. YU7 GT Exposed: CLTC Range of 705km, to be Released in May

From the picture, five test cars are charging in the charging area. The top two cars, namely Car No. 1 and Car No. 2, have almost the same design style. One is without camouflage, and the other is with camouflage. Car No. 1 seems to be the Xiaomi YU7 in terms of its shape.

Car No. 2 is equipped with red calipers commonly used in performance cars.

There is no red caliper option in the current optional configuration of the Xiaomi YU7 on sale. This design appears on the Xiaomi YU7 GT, and the new car's wheel hub shape is also the same as that of the YU7 GT. Therefore, Car No. 2 may be the YU7 GT that emphasizes performance and sportiness.

On the opening day of the 2026 Beijing Auto Show, Lei Jun officially announced the information of the Xiaomi YU7 GT. The new car can reach a maximum horsepower of 1003PS, a maximum speed of 300km/h, and a CLTC range of 705km. The new car will be officially released at the end of May.

2. Xiaomi's Full - size SUV May Appear in Three Versions

In the spy photos, Car No. 3, Car No. 4, and Car No. 5 have the same body contour. Like Car No. 1 and Car No. 2, the car covers are marked with serial numbers, which is in line with Xiaomi's consistent style of camouflaged test cars. These three cars are also regarded by netizens as the full - size SUV that Xiaomi is about to release. The industry temporarily calls it Xiaomi "YU9".

Compared with the 4999mm length of the Xiaomi YU7, the length of the YU9 may exceed 5.2 meters, and may even reach 5.3 meters.

The core differences among these three cars are reflected in the roof shape, the inclination angle of the rear window, and the body proportion. The three cars may include the standard five - seat version of Xiaomi YU9, the pop - up tent version of Xiaomi YU9, and the seven - seat version of Xiaomi YU9.

In February this year, Hu Zhengnan, a senior advisor of Xiaomi Automobile, posted photos of four camouflaged large SUVs undergoing winter testing. From the pictures, the inclination angles of the rear windows of the four cars show slight differences. The latest spy photos may further confirm that there may be multiple versions of this car.

(1) Seven - seat Version of Xiaomi YU9

Among them, Car No. 3 may be the seven - seat version of the Xiaomi YU9, targeting families with multiple children and users who need to travel long - distance with multiple people. Compared with Car No. 5, the overall length of Car No. 3 may be longer, which is in line with the design of a seven - seat model, and the rear window is more vertical. This may be to consider the basic riding comfort of the third - row passengers.

(2) Pop - up Tent Version of Xiaomi YU9

The body length of Car No. 4 seems to be not much different from that of Car No. 3, but there is an obvious raised structure in the rear half of the roof, which is significantly different from the conventional roofs of Car No. 3 and Car No. 5. It is the version with the highest roof height among Car No. 3, Car No. 4, and Car No. 5.

Correspondingly, at almost the same time, a spy photo of a Xiaomi YU9 that may be equipped with a pop - up tent has circulated in the industry. The two spy photos correspond to each other, which means that the Xiaomi YU9 may simultaneously cover both family and outdoor camping scenarios and launch a pop - up tent version.

Based on information from multiple sources, the roof tent of this car may be different from the common third - party modified roof tents on the market. It may adopt an integrated design with the body structure. This design may allow users to enter the tent from inside the car without getting off, and the tent is expected to share the car's air - conditioning.

(3) Five - seat Version of Xiaomi YU9

Compared with Car No. 3 and Car No. 4, Car No. 5 seems to be a bit shorter. The inclination angle of the rear window is larger, and the roof line is completely straight without any protrusions or special structures. It adopts the conventional roof design of a large SUV and may be the five - seat version of the Xiaomi YU9. The five - seat and seven - seat versions are expected to complement each other.

3. A Cheaper YU7 is Also Coming

In addition to the information about the new cars revealed in the spy photos, Xiaomi may also be preparing a new version of the YU7.

On April 9th, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China released the 406th batch of the "Announcement of Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Products". In this batch, Xiaomi YU7 declared a version with a curb weight reduced by 115kg. It may use a smaller battery, or it may be the entry - level version of the Xiaomi YU7 with a range of 620km mentioned by Lei Jun. According to the selling price of the current entry - level version of the Xiaomi YU7, which is 253,500 yuan, the selling price of this new version of the Xiaomi YU7 may be around 240,000 yuan.

Based on the existing information, this car may be different from the current positioning, focusing on low - price, and is expected to become a high - volume model among Xiaomi's SUVs.

The appearance of three large SUVs on the same stage means that Xiaomi Automobile may be going all out to enter the large - size new - energy SUV market.

According to data from Dongchedi, in terms of the top 10 retail sales of large SUVs nationwide in March 2026, the market is significantly segmented.
