Xiaomi YU7 Max Conquers Extreme Ice Climb, Validating Its AWD System

Recently, Xiaomi Auto released a winter test video of its YU7 Max, showcasing the vehicle's robust performance under extreme icy and snowy conditions. During the test, the car successfully climbed a 15% (approximately 8.53-degree) ice-covered slope using traction from only its left rear wheel. With the ice surface offering just one-tenth the friction coefficient of dry pavement, the challenge posed a severe test for the vehicle’s all-wheel-drive system and overall stability. The YU7 Max leveraged its intelligent torque control system (eAWD) to dynamically adjust power distribution between the front and rear axles in real time, directing more torque to the rear axle. Simultaneously, its traction control system (TC) precisely suppressed wheel slip, ensuring that wheels with grip received sufficient power. Ultimately, the vehicle ascended the slope smoothly, highlighting its dependable performance in icy and snowy environments and boosting confidence for winter driving among users in northern regions.
