Vehicle model
Xiaomi Gamme Xiaomi - utilitaires ou VUS
Xiaomi's utility lineup is embodied by the YU7, the brand's first SUV, launched in June 2025. It is a mid-to-large SUV, about five meters long, with five seats, positioned head-on against the Tesla Model Y, which it seeks to rival on price, range and equipment (air suspension and LiDAR on certain versions). Offered in several variants (Standard, Pro, Max, then a more accessible entry-level model), it targets families and buyers seeking a versatile and spacious EV. Like the sedan, this heavy, high-performance SUV adopts large wheel diameters and wide tires; in Quebec, a set of winter tires suited to its weight is essential. The YU7 is not officially marketed in North America to date.

Technologies, engines and platforms
The YU7 is based on the Modena platform shared with the SU7, with an 800-volt architecture, rear-wheel or all-wheel drive depending on the version, and large LFP or NMC batteries (suppliers BYD and CATL) offering strong CLTC ranges. It features Xiaomi Pilot assistance and a LiDAR on certain trims.

Tire and wheel compatibility
Les véhicules Xiaomi étant des électriques performants et plutôt lourds, ils tendent vers de grands diamètres de jantes, typiquement de 19 à 21 pouces selon les versions, souvent avec des pneumatiques larges et, sur les finitions sportives, un montage étagé (pneus arrière plus larges qu'à l'avant). Ce type de configuration privilégie l'adhérence et la tenue de route, au prix d'une autonomie légèrement réduite avec les plus grandes jantes. Au Québec, un second train de pneus d'hiver homologués reste indispensable et la loi; pour un VÉ lourd, on privilégie des pneus hiver à indice de charge et de vitesse adaptés. Vérifiez toujours dimension exacte, entraxe et déport propres au modèle avant tout achat.
