Recently, Xiaomi Motor responded to the Xiaomi YU7 (parameter | inquiry) GT why not call it YU7 Ultra in the answer to the netizen's question released on May 1 (episode 239)? What is the difference between GT and Ultra? Xiaomi officially said that the definitions of "GT" and "Ultra" are different from the model positioning. Unlike the SU7 Ultra, the Xiaomi YU7 GT is positioned as a “sports SUV for long trips” and is not a race car for ultimate performance.
