Xiaomi YU7 RWD Demonstrates Strong Off-Road Capability in Yancheng Test

Xiaomi recently conducted comprehensive real-world vehicle tests on the standard rear-wheel-drive version of its YU7 model at its Yancheng test facility. The evaluation covered everyday challenging driving scenarios, including cross-axle traction recovery, wet and snowy inclines, muddy potholes, and undulating road surfaces. During testing, the vehicle maintained stable performance via its ESP system—even when three wheels retained traction while one was completely off the ground—without any wheel spin or getting stuck. The measured ground clearance was 172 mm, allowing the vehicle to traverse camel-hump terrain without underbody scraping or grounding. Even with one side of the vehicle lifted off the ground and the chassis twisted, both the front and rear trunks opened and closed normally, demonstrating sufficient structural rigidity. Although positioned as a family-oriented vehicle not intended for serious off-roading, the YU7’s traction capabilities are sufficient to handle common unexpected conditions such as slippery roads in rain, roadside potholes, and temporary unpaved surfaces.
