Update:<\/strong> Xiaomi has just announced pricing and range details for the new YU7, with the electric crossover starting at a reasonable RMB 253,500 (around $34,500 at current exchange rates) for the Standard <\/strong>\u2018ultra-long-range\u2019 rear-wheel-drive model. It boasts a claimed driving range of 830 km (516 miles) on the CLTC cycle and is powered by a single motor that delivers 315 hp (235 kW), accelerating from 0 to 100 km\/h (62 mph) in 5.9 seconds.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\tvar adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]}; For those looking for all-wheel drive, the Pro<\/strong> version is available at RMB 279,900 ($37,900). Featuring the same 96.3 kWh LPF battery as the Standard model, it has dual motors producing a combined 489 hp (365 kW) and offers a claimed range of 770 km (478 miles), again, based on the optimistic CLTC cycle.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a> <\/p>\n Finally, the Max<\/strong> model takes things up a notch with high-performance AWD capabilities, priced at RMB 329,900 ($44,700). The dual motors here produce a combined 681 hp (508 kW) and 866 Nm of peak torque, allowing for a 0-100 km\/h (62 mph) time of just 3.23 seconds. The 101.7 kWh NMC battery provides a claimed range of 760 km (472 miles).<\/p>\n These prices undercut one of its most important rivals, the domestically made Tesla Model Y. It starts at RMB 263,000 ($35,200) for the RWD version, which hits 100 km\/h (62 mph) in 5.9 seconds and offers 593 km (368 miles) of range on the CLTC cycle. The Long Range model starts at RMB 313,500 ($41,300), offering 719 km (446 miles) of range and a 0-100 km\/h (62 mph) time of 4.3 seconds. Tesla has yet to launch the flagship Performance version<\/a> of the updated Model Y Juniper. <\/p>\n What\u2019s even more impressive is Xiaomi\u2019s claim on social media that it received over 289,000 orders for the YU7 within just an hour of opening pre-sales. The company noted that customers who place a 5,000 yuan deposit (about $670) before July 31 will receive a discount of 66,000 yuan ($8,800).<\/p>\n John Halas<\/a> contributed to this story.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a> <\/p>\n Original article continues below.<\/em><\/p>\n The electric SUV game just got a little more interesting. Xiaomi gave us our first look at the stylish YU7 last year, and now the crossover has officially been launched in China<\/a>. It\u2019s big news as the YU7 is the company\u2019s second model and their first SUV, following the SU7. That sedan has been a runaway success in its home market, racking up 258,000 sales in just 14 months, including 28,000 deliveries in April alone.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\tvar adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]}; The crossover follows in the footsteps of the SU7 and is a high-performance luxury SUV with an impressive design. It features a shark nose front end that is flanked by \u201cwaterdrop\u201d headlights, which have channels that direct air out through the hood. Speaking of which, the crossover has the largest clamshell aluminum hood among mass-produced vehicles.<\/p>\n
