On May 21, Lei Jun shared a new color scheme for Xiaomi YU7 - emerald green - on his Weibo.
Lei Jun said that the design inspiration of the new color scheme came from Colombian emeralds, but under this Weibo post, a netizen left a message saying that it somehow matched the China Post vehicle, which became a hot comment of the day.
Xiaomi YU7 is Xiaomi Auto's first SUV model. It will directly compete with the world's best-selling model, Tesla Model Y. It will be released at Xiaomi's 15th Anniversary Strategic New Product Launch Conference on the evening of May 22. It is expected that its price will be close to that of Tesla Model Y, approximately between 250,000 and 350,000 yuan.
On May 21, Lei Jun posted another Weibo before releasing the emerald green color scheme: "Xiaomi YU7 will be released soon. Many friends say that the competition in the SUV market is more intense than that in the sedan market. Can Xiaomi still break through the siege? There are many experts in this field, and each of them is highly competitive. The competition is indeed very fierce. But I believe that YU7 has an irreplaceable unique charm."
