Who Is This Smartphone Maker?
There it is, the Chinese tech giant Xiaomi has recently launched its first EV car named the YU7. They have long been working on this project, and the wait is finally over. There was tremendous hype concerning this car before the launch, and the orders speak for themselves.
What Are The Features of The Xiaomi YU7?
This car is an intelligent, AI-powered, high-performance luxury sedan that is not just an electric car. The luxury sedan features include
800V battery platform
A range of up to 800 km on a single charge

Built-in Android system-like interface
Smartphone Connectivity
The car, besides performing on par, could present a look to throw direct competition to the likes of Tesla and BYD.
What Triggered an Avalanche of Orders?
Some of the reasons for the orders placed for this car are Xiaomi's brand image and trustworthiness, High-tech with a classy design, very competitive pricing (extremely cheap post-subsidies), attractive offers, and bonuses limited to a certain number of pre-bookings granted.
An ever-growing, insatiable demand for EVs is making the competition hotter, with the brand's name being a potential factor in this triumph.
This action from Xiaomi shows that the big tech companies have already advanced from their pure ambitions of being just mobile or consumer electronics. They are now venturing into becoming a budding player in the smart vehicle market shortly. We can boldly state that with the success of the YU7 it has a warm market reception.
