Video Summary
Here is the requested summary:The Xiaomi YU7 electric car charges 620 kilometers in only 15 minutes. In comparison, Tesla charges in 25 to 30 minutes. This faster charging is due to the new 800-volt platform. The base version with rear-wheel drive has a range of 835 kilometers, which is more than Tesla Model Y. The Model Y does 25 to 30 minutes for 620 kilometers worth of charge.
The top-of-the-line version comes with two electric motors with a combined output of 690 horsepower; it can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds, comparing to a Porsche Macan Turbo EV, which does it in 3.5 seconds and costs twice as much.
The body is made of super-high-strength steel, which they produce themselves, with a strength of 2,200 MPa, comparable to military-grade armored steel. The car body can withstand 11.5 tons of pressure in crash tests.
The UX7's driving feel is more like a sportscar than an SUV. The steering wheel is a bit stiff but manageable. There are numerous hidden magnets inside for attaching accessories.
Three different HUD displays project onto the dashboard, and the touchscreen is very responsive. By connecting a special device in the center console, the touchscreen can be controlled using hand gestures. The test version is speed limited to 80 kilometers an hour.
There are 36 storage spaces totaling 1970 liters, and several Zero Gravity seats. Also available is a portable lamp which sticks to the roof, in an interior design that borrows several features from the company's SU7 sedan.
Compared to the basic version with rear-wheel drive, the all-wheel drive version uses asynchronous motors in the front and synchronous in the rear.
The basic version starts at 235,500 yuan, or about 35,000 USD, or roughly 3.2 million Rubles with delivery in Russia, closer to 4.5 million. That is around 20% less than a Tesla Model Y. The delivery time for this model is about 33 weeks.
Some of the disc options for this model have been called uninspired and a bit ugly.
After a tragic accident, the car door's opening mechanism has been made mechanical and are colored red, to ensure visibility.
The car will be compared with the Dengza D9, and the G7 is very competitive, but the XPeng also includes the Apple Carplay and an unlockable iphone.
The video suggests the car is "pretty close" to competing premium automobiles. However, it points out that because of a limited sample size, its impressions were subject to more change over time and more testing. The range is good, better than Tesla, but there may be improvements that happen in AI, but currently, it is not well known. There are many little tricks, for a year, that this Xiaomi will help its purchasers with. You can tell it what to do by voice. On a trip, they found the interior and the seats comfortable. The audio is clear and has 25 speakers. There are various settings in the car including standard, custom, stability, power, flexibility and Economy. This all works, though it is not perfect.
The main problem identified by the review is the delivery time, almost an entire year!
