00:00Welcome to the new video from the Auto Magazine Tuning Blog.
00:04This time, we're talking about Xiaomi's new electric SUV, the Wii U, which was recently unveiled in detail at a gala event.
00:13This model marks the Chinese tech giant's second vehicle in the automotive sector and clearly shows that Xiaomi is continuing to expand its ambitions in the electric car market.
00:22The Wii U will be launched in three different versions, although Xiaomi will not announce the final prices until the official market launch in July.
00:35Initial information about the Wii U 7 surfaced last December in the form of an application for approval.
00:42However, the details presented now show that Xiaomi has since expanded its model range.
00:46While only two all-wheel drive versions were planned at the time, the range now includes three different drive concepts at market launch.
00:56The Wii U 7 itself measures 4.99 meters in length, making it slightly longer than Xiaomi's electric sedan, the SU 7, and has a wheelbase of exactly 3 meters.
01:07It is 1.99 meters wide without exterior mirrors. The height is 1.61 meters.
01:13Depending on the variant, the vehicle has an unladen weight of between around 2.1 and 2.5 tons, a value that is primarily due to the large batteries.
01:25In contrast to the SU 7, which has a battery with 73.6 kWh in the basic variant, the U 7 starts with a 96.3 kWh MP battery.
01:35This is based on lithium-ion phosphate cells from BYD and is combined with a 35 kW strong motor on the rear axle in the rear-wheel drive model.
01:46This corresponds to around 320 horsepower.
01:49By comparison, the comparable rear-wheel drive model of the SU 7 only delivers 220 kW.
01:55There is also a technological difference.
01:57While the basic version of the SU 7 is based on a 400-volt system, all variants of the Wii U 7 have Xiaomi's modern 800-volt silicon cabot high-voltage platform.
02:10Xiaomi positions the all-wheel drive model Wii O 7 Pro above the rear-wheel drive version.
02:15This also uses the 96.3 kWh LFP battery.
02:22However, it achieves a system output of 365 kW, which corresponds to around 496 horsepower.
02:28At the top of the range is the WU 7 Max AD, whose system output is specified as an impressive 508 kW.
02:35That's around 6 and 91 horsepower.
02:37In this top version, Xiaomi installs a battery with 101.7 kWh, which relies on high-performance NMC cells from CLL.
02:47The UQ 7 Max AD achieves a maximum torque of around 866 Nm and accelerates from 0 to 100 km per hour in just 3.2 seconds.
02:57The top speed in this version is 253 km per hour.
03:01The two LFP-based models each reach 240 km per hour, but need 5.8 seconds to sprint to 100 km per hour with rear-wheel drive and 4.3 seconds with all-wheel drive, which is quite sporty for an SUV.
03:20Xiaomi has already shown with the SU 7 sedan that the brand focuses on sporty performance at attractive prices.
03:26Some versions of the sedan were offered for the equivalent of less than 30,000.
03:34However, reports of brake failures on the SU 7 dampened the euphoria.
03:40Videos of accidents apparently caused by an inadequately dimensioned brake system circulated on social networks.
03:47An accident in April, in which the semi-autonomous driving system was apparently active, caused a particularly big stir.
03:54Rumors have it that Xiaomi therefore decided not to hold the launch event for the WRI U7, which was originally planned for the Shanghai Motor Show.
04:04The engines of all Wii U7 models come from Supplier United Automotive Electronics and are referred to by Xiaomi as V6 Plus engines,
04:11as they are said to be comparable in performance to classic V6 petrol engines.
04:17A particularly exciting feature is the charging capacity.
04:20The batteries of the WRI U7 can be charged at up to 5.2C.
04:25This should provide enough energy for a range of up to 620 kilometers in just 15 minutes according to the Chinese CRTC test procedure.
04:35In terms of range, it is surprisingly not the top model with the largest battery that leads, but the rear-wheel drive model.
04:42According to the CLTC, it can cover up to 835 kilometers.
04:47The all-wheel drive model WRI U7 Pro has a range of 770 kilometers.
04:51The WRI U7 Max Abed, despite its higher system performance and battery capacity, only has a range of 760 kilometers.
04:58This indicates that the high performance also has an impact on fuel consumption.
05:02Xiaomi also focuses on comfort and technology in the interior.
05:06In the front, the occupants can expect massage seats with a napper leather cover,
05:10the backrest of which can be tilted by up to 123 degrees when stationary.
05:15In the rear, the seats can even be adjusted by 135 degrees.
05:20In addition, the rear passengers have their own touchscreen to control the air conditioning, music, and navigation.
05:25There is a large infotainment system for the driver and front passenger as well as the so-called hypervision display.
05:34A total of 1.1 meters wide LED system that consists of three small screens
05:39and displays the most important driving information, warning messages, and media content.
05:47All versions of the U7 are equipped with a lead sensor as standard
05:51and also feature a 4DM wave radar and cameras with anti-reflective coating.
05:55The NVIDIA DRIVE LG XTOUR system processes the sensor data,
06:02with the software for autonomous driving being developed entirely by Xiaomi.
06:09Despite its considerable length of almost 5 meters,
06:12the Xiaomi U7 is classified in Chinese trade media as a direct competitor to the revised Tesla model Yener,
06:17which is significantly more compact at 4.80 meters in length.
06:21The final decision as to which model will prevail will probably depend heavily on the price-performance ratio
06:30as well as trust in safety functions and software.
