The Xiaomi YU9 (Chinese: 小米YU9; pinyin: Xiǎomǐ YU9), known internally as the Kunlun, is an upcoming range extended full-size luxury SUV to be manufactured by Xiaomi Auto. It is the company's first vehicle to use a range extended powertrain.
Overview
The YU9 is planned to serve as Xiaomi's flagship vehicle. It is also expected to offer 6 seat (2+2+2 configuration) or 7 seat (2+2+3 configuration) options and will carry a lower power output compared to the other Xiaomi models.[1]
A report from December 2025 confirmed that the YU9 will launch in 2026.[2] High-altitude testing of the YU9 took place in the Tian Shan mountain range.[3]
Design and features
The YU9's body design is a departure of that of the SU7 and YU7. Spyshots of the YU9 show that instead of using fastback-like designs the YU9 uses a boxy and upright design with a high beltline and sharp angles. The headlight design is expected to be carried over from the YU7 and SU7.[4] A LiDAR system is expected to be included on the YU9.[5]
Powertrain
Most powertrain details are yet to be uncovered but a 1.5 liter turbocharged inline 4 supplied by Dong'an Power is expected to be used as a generator supplying 2 electric motors that make an estimated total output of 400 horsepower. 800-volt fast charging is also expected. The total range is expected to be around 932 miles (1,500 km).[1][6] The YU9 is said to have an electric range of 248.5 miles (400 km) and will use an 80 kWh battery.[3]
