Xiaomi YU7 GT Sets New Nürburgring SUV Lap Record Ahead of Launch

Xiaomi has made a bold statement in the performance EV arena. The upcoming YU7 GT, the high-performance variant of its second electric vehicle, has just lapped the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 7 minutes and 34.931 seconds, taking the title for the fastest production SUV on the legendary German circuit.

This impressive time surpasses the previous record, which was held by the Audi RS Q8 Performance. The achievement was disclosed ahead of the YU7 GT’s official market debut, signaling Xiaomi’s determination to compete not just in tech features but also on the track.

With this record, Xiaomi is positioning the YU7 GT as a serious contender in the high-performance electric SUV segment. The sub-7:35 lap places it among the quickest SUVs ever tested at the Nürburgring, underscoring the vehicle’s engineering prowess.
