Xiaomi, the Chinese smartphone maker and electric-car start-up, priced its YU7 sport-utility vehicle (SUV)<\/span> at a 4 per cent discount to Tesla’s bestselling Model Y, a move that is expected to draw a wave of orders in a cutthroat market where even the strongest players struggle to break even.<\/div>\n

The YU7, Xiaomi’s second production model, starts at 253,500 yuan (US$35,322), compared with 263,500 yuan for the Model Y’s basic edition, the Beijing-based company announced at a launch event on Thursday evening.<\/p>\n

“We have set an unreasonable goal of beating the Model Y,” Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun said on Weibo on Monday. “Based on the strength of our product, I am fully confident that we can achieve the goal.”<\/p>\n

The new SUV, featuring a preliminary self-driving system, a large multimedia screen and a high-performance battery, was seen as a game changer in mainland China’s premium electric-vehicle (EV) segment, where Tesla has seen its advantage erode.<\/p>\n

It has a driving range of 835km, while Tesla’s Shanghai-made Model Y can go as far as 593km on a single charge.<\/p>\n
